Introduction. Depression is a mental disorder that is often found in the elderly and hemodialysis patients, resulting in bad effects on patients. There is no study on the relationship between depression and all-cause mortality risk in elderly hemodialysis patients in Indonesia. This study aimed to determine the role of depression as a predictor factor of all-cause mortality within 6 months in elderly hemodialysis patients. Methods. A prospective cohort study was conducted from February to August 2020 at the hemodialysis unit of Roemani Muhammadiyah Hospital, Semarang. The inclusion criteria were elderly patients (aged ≥60 years), undergoing hemodialysis ≥3 months, hemodialysis frequency …

Introduction. Sepsis is defined as organ dysfunction caused by dysregulation of the host’s response to infection. The majority of sepsis are experienced by elderly patients with high mortality rates. In the condition of sepsis, there are various body mechanisms that cause a decrease in albumin and hemoglobin. This study is to determine the predictive value of albumin and hemoglobin levels on 28-day mortality of elderly sepsis patients.

Introduction. Decreasing fertility rates and increasing life expectancy cause an increase in the population of the elderly, with the number of elderly in the world is estimated to increase from 9.3% in 2020 to 16.0% in 2050. 24.35% of the elderly in Indonesia experience illness, and 8.71% have been hospitalized in one year. This study aimed to determine the risk factors for the death of elderly who were hospitalized.

Introduction. Hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Red cell distribution width (RDW) is associated with mortality in patients with septic shock and community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). However, little is known about the effect of elevation of RDW value on mortality in HAP patients, especially in the elderly population who have a worse prognosis. This study aimed to determine the proportion of adult and elderly HAP patients who have an increase in RDW value and the relation between the increase in RDW value to the risk of mortality in HAP patients during hospitalization. Methods. A cross-sectional and …
