▼ Background: Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection and its sequelae (cirrhosis and liver cancer) are major global health problems. Overall prevalence in Ethiopia varies from 4.7-16.8% for HBsAg and 70-76.4% for at least one marker positive. During recent years evidence has accumulated that in patients with diabetes mellitus, phagocytosis by polymorpho nuclear leukocytes is impaired and disturbances in cell-mediated immune responses can be demonstrated. Cell-mediated immunity is involved in the defense against viruses as well as in that against Mycobacterium and Fungi. However, no increased incidence of viral infections like HBV has yet been reported in patients with diabetes. Objective: To determine the prevalence of HBsAg in patients with diabetes mellitus and to compare those with the non diabetes. It also asses associated factors and liver function tests (LFT); and compare Diabetic and non Diabetic subjects; and HBV positive and negative participants. Methods: The study was a comparative cross sectional study design conducted at Woldiya General Hospital using 108 consented study populations from each study group during the period November, 2010 through January, 2011. A convenience sampling method was used. A total of 216 samples were tested for HBsAg serostatus using VISITECT HBsAg rapid test kit and LFT tests using Humastat 80 chemistry analyzer. Data entered to SPSS-16 and then analyzed using the same soft ware. Multivariate logistic regression was used to see the association of HBV with clinical history of participants and sociodemographic variables. All tests were two-sided with α-level of 0.05 and 80% power. Results: prevalence of HBsAg was equal between diabetes and non diabetes, 3.7% indicating that there was no difference between the two groups. No any Sociodemographic and clinical history of participants were associated with HBV infection (p>0.05) except chronic liver disease. Conclusion: In this study a positive relation was not indicated between HBV and Diabetes and DM in the study area did not predisposed to HBV infection than the rest of the population.

▼ Title: The association between the prevalence and attitude regarding physical restraint use in a Dutch acute hospital. Background: Factors that influence physical restraint use need to be identified to reduce this questionable practice. However, due to limitations of previous studies, it is unknown whether an association exists between the prevalence and attitude regarding restraint use. Aim and research questions: To explore the association between the prevalence of physical restraint use and attitude of physicians and nurses towards restraint use in a Dutch acute hospital. The research questions were: what is the prevalence of restraint use, what is the attitude of physicians and nurses towards restraint use, and is there an association between the prevalence and attitude regarding restraint use? Method: A cross-sectional, correlational study was conducted. Unannounced, one researcher observed patients on 17 units on restraint use to determine the prevalence. Then, physicians and nurses working in these units were asked to complete the Maastricht Attitude Questionnaire (MAQ) to determine their attitude towards restraint use. Subsequently, the Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient was used to explore the association between the prevalence rates and mean MAQ scores at the unit level. Units with a response lower than 40% and/or a prevalence based on less than five patients were excluded from this analysis to increase the usability of the results. Results: A moderate to strong positive significant association (rs=0∙608, p=0∙027) was found, indicating that units with a positive attitude tended to use more restraint than units with a negative attitude. Physicians and nurses had a relatively neutral to slightly positive attitude regarding restraint use, but they considered the use of restraint as appropriate clinical practice. Physicians and nurses considered the mostly used restraint measure (bilateral bedrails) as moderately restrictive. Conclusion: Attitude may be an influencing factor of physical restraint use. Recommendations: Information programs for units with positive attitudes and high prevalence rates should be aimed at changing attitudes against restraint use in order to reduce the use of restraint.

▼ Sleep-related problems are rapidly growing public-health concerns that often result in adverse short-term consequences (e.g., reduced quality of life) and long-term health effects (e.g., cardiovascular disease). However, the relation between sleep problems and chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been under-investigated. To better understand this relation, we addressed three aims. The first aim was to examine temporal trends in the prevalence of 5 self-reported sleep problems in U.S. adults and their associations with CKD and all-cause mortality, using data from 5 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (2005-14). The prevalence of trouble sleeping and diagnosed sleep disorder increased over the decade, while nocturia (urinating ≥2 times/night), inadequate sleep (<7 hours/night), and excessive sleep (>9 hours/night) remained stable. All sleep problems, except inadequate sleep, were more common among adults with CKD than without CKD, especially for excessive sleep and nocturia, which were positively associated with all-cause mortality. Second, we conducted a large retrospective cross-sectional study of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in U.S. veterans who sought care in Veteran Administration (VA) facilities in fiscal year (FY) 2018 to better understand the population burden of OSA and its relation with CKD and its risk factors. Using data from 6.2 million veterans for FY2014-18, we estimated OSA point prevalence at the last visit to a VHA facility in FY2018 (index time T) and period prevalence of OSA (excluding prevalent cases at T) going back to the start of FY2014. Period prevalence for each duration was estimated by taking into account left censoring of veterans followed back for different durations. At time T, OSA point prevalence was 24.9% in veterans with CKD and 15.2% in those without CKD. The overall 60-month period prevalence was 11.6% and was positively associated with CKD, obesity, being male, having hypertension, or diabetes, and inversely associated with age ≥65. Lastly, we conducted a large retrospective cohort study of U.S. veterans to test the hypothesis that CKD is a mediator in the causal pathway linking race/ethnicity with OSA incidence. Four statistical methods of mediation analysis with different advantages and limitations were used: informal difference method, 4-way decomposition, flexible mediation analysis, and dynamic path analysis. Blacks and Hispanics had higher incidence rates than did non-Hispanic Whites. The percentages of the total race/ethnicity effects mediated by CKD were small and similar using all 4 mediation methods; e.g., using flexible mediation analysis, the percentage of the Black/White effect on OSA incidence mediated by CKD was 5.8%. However, when CKD and its 3 risk factors were treated jointly as mediators in flexible mediation analysis, the percentage mediated increased to 30.3%. The high prevalence of sleep problems including OSA among persons with CKD, their associations with mortality, and the mediated effect by CKD on racial disparity in OSA incidence… Advisors/Committee Members: Morgenstern, Hal (committee member), Gillespie, Brenda Wilson (committee member), Saran, Rajiv (committee member), Uzzaman, Afifa (committee member).
