Objective:
This study aims to determine the prevalence of subclinical thyroid dysfunction among cardiac patients at the Philippine General Hospital, and its association with mortality.
Methodology:
163 adult cardiac patients were screened for subclinical thyroid dysfunction, [subclinical hyperthyroidism (SCT), subclinical hypothyroidism (SCHO), non-thyroidal illness syndrome (NTIS)]. Demographic and clinical characteristics were analyzed using ANOVA and Fisher’s exact test. Outcome considered were hospital duration, need for mechanical ventilation, inotropic support and mortality. Crude association between subclinical thyroid dysfunction and outcomes was evaluated using relative risk.
Results:
Prevalence of subclinical thyroid dysfunction was 32.5% (5.5% SCT, 5.5% SCHO, and 21.5% NTIS). The risk of necessitating mechanical ventilation was about twofold higher in subclinical thyroid dysfunction compared to euthyroid patients (RR=2.64), and was highest in SCHO (RR=3.71). The risk of inotropic support was about twofold higher (RR=2.70) in SCHO compared to euthyroid patients. Overall death rate was higher in subclinical thyroid dysfunction (RR=1.86), and highest in SCHO (RR=2.47) compared to euthyroid patients.
Conclusion
There is a significant prevalence of subclinical thyroid dysfunction among hospitalized patients with cardiac disease at 32.5%. Cardiovascular risk factors are not statistically significant. We observed a trend of increased risk of requiring mechanical ventilation, inotropes and overall mortality in SCHO.

Background: Surveys in disability are getting more and more attention from the Governments and contributes towards improve service provision for people with disabilities. Objective: To describe the prevalence of people with disabilities at The Chi Linh demographic and epidemiological surveillance system (CHILILAB), Hai Duong province in 2007. Subject and Method: The cross - cutting survey conducted in the CHILILAB which has a population of 65.438 people, the WHO questionnaire of disability screening was used. Result and conclusion: Disability prevalence in Chi Linh occurs in 28.2% of the population. It is noted that the disability prevalence increases significantly with age groups: 81.8% of those who are over 60, 58.2% those aged of 40 - 59 and only 8 - 9% of those aged under 40. In addition, the disability prevalence is higher in the rural areas, women, the poor and the illiterate. It is necessary to have more study on the prevalence of people with disabilities in wider ranges. \r\n', u'\r\n', u'\r\n', u'

PURPOSE: To evaluate the pattern of meniscal tear according to the type of the tibial plateau fracture of Schatzker. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty two cases of tibial condyle fracture treated between the period of 1994 and 2003 were evaluated. The fracture type was classified according to Schatzker. The pattern and extent of the meniscus tear were compared with the fracture classification. Statistical analysis was made with the Fisher's exact test. RESULTS: Meniscus tear was noted in 29 cases out of 62 fractures (46.8%). The twenty cases of minimally displaced fractures treated conservatively showed no meniscal tear. Of 18 cases of the most common type I fracture 2 (11.2%) had a meniscus tear. Of 16 type II fractures 12 (75%) had a meniscus tear. The type III fracture showed the highest prevalence of meniscus tear (76.9%, 10/13). There was statistically significant relationtionship between the type of fractures and the rate of meniscus tear (p<0.0001). CONCLUSION: The meniscus tear frequently occurred in tibial plateau fractures in Schatzker type II and III. Associated meniscus tears should be born in mind when those types of fracture are encountered.
