Malaysians today are generally healthier, live longer, and are better disposed to be more productive. The overall level of health attained is one of the key measures of the success of our country. Good health enables Malaysians to lead productive and fulfilling lives. In addition, a high level of health contributes to increased prosperity and overall social stability. Population Structure The population of Malaysia in 2007 was 27.17 million with an average annual population growth rate of 2.0 per 100 population. The total population in 2007 increased by 0.53 million as compared to 26.64 million recorded in 2006. The geographical distribution of population showed that Selangor (including Federal Territory Putrajaya) had the highest population of 4.96 million, while Federal Territory Labuan recorded the lowest population of 0.09 million (Table 1). However, Terengganu recorded the highest growth rate of 2.5 per 100 population, followed by Selangor (including F.T. Putrajaya) at 2.3, Sabah (2.2) and Johor (2.2), while Perak recorded the lowest rate of 1.4. In 2007, 63.4% out of the total population lived in urban area, while 36.6% lived in rural area ( Table 2 ). Overall, the population in Malaysia is relatively young, with 43.6% of the total population were below 20 years of age, and only 6.8% of the population aged 60 years and above (Table 2). In 2007, the economically-productive population which consists of population aged 15 to 64 years was 17.2 million or 63.4% of the total population, while the economically dependent i.e age below 15 years and 65 years and above was 9.9 million or 36.6% of the total population. Health status can be gauged by the use of health status indicators. Indicators such as life expectancy at birth, mortality and morbidity status of the country were among the indicators that can be measured, and serve as an indication of the state of health of individuals, and thus the health of the overall population. 3 Annual Report 2007 TABLE 1 Total Population and Average Annual Population Growth Rate by State, Malaysia, 2006 - 2007 Population (Thousand) Average Annual State Population 2006 2007 Growth Rate (per 100 population) Johor 3,170.53,240.9 2.2 Kedah 1,882.01,918.7 1.9 Kelantan 1,530.71,560.5 1.9 Melaka 725.3738.81.8 N egeri Sembilan 961.8978.21.7 Pahang 1,454.91,483.6 2.0 Perak 2,283.02,314.6 1.4 Perlis 228.0231.91.7 Pulau Pinang 1,492.41,518.5 1.7 Sabah 2,997.03,063.6 2.2 Sarawak 2,357.52,404.2 2.0 Selangor* 4,850.14,961.6 2.3 Terengganu 1,042.01,067.9 2.5 F.T.

With the improvement in the nutritional and socio-economic status of the population, Malaysians can expect to live much longer than in the past. The life expectancy at birth in 2007 has increased to 71.7 years for male and 76.5 years for female as compared to 56 years for male and 58 years for female recorded in 1957. Figure 1 shows the upward trend of life expectancy for both male and female in Malaysia from 1957 to 2007. FIGURE 1 Life Expectancy at Birth (in Years) by Gender, Malaysia, 1957-2007 Age 80.0 70.0 60.0 50.0 40.0 1957 19671977198719972007 Year Male Female Source : Department of Statistics, Malaysia 5 Annual Report 2007 Mortality Mortality data provides an useful endpoint for measuring health. These data provide a comprehensive picture of the health of the community, since it covers every individual. Many different types of measures are used to provide views of health from differing perspectives. For the past 40 years (1967-2007), the mortality rates in Malaysia had been decreasing. In 2007, crude death rate per 1,000 population had decreased to 4.5 as compared to 7.2 recorded in 1967. The trend of maternal mortality ratio (MMR), infant mortality rate (IMR) and neonatal mortality rate (NMR) in Malaysia are shown in Figure 2. The MMR, which refers to the ratio of deaths occurring in women during pregnancy, childbirth or within 42 days after child- birth, due to causes directly or indirectly related to the pregnancy or childbirth, showed an apparent decrease from 1.6 per 1,000 live births in 1967 to 0.2 in 1987 and 1997. This decrease may be due to the improved reporting system introduced in 1990, with the establishment of the Confidential Enquiry into Maternal Deaths (CEMD) by the Ministry of Health Malaysia.

A palatal swelling transpires out as a nasal B-cell NHL- a case report Sunil Pazhayanur Venkateswaran1, Rafiq Abdul Karim Vasiwala2 Department of Pathology1 and ENT2, International Medical University, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Introduction: Primary sinonasal Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma’s (NHLs) is a rare condition, which emulates the presentation of a benign inflammatory disease. It is challenging to distinguish morphologically as well as radiologically sinonasal lymphomas from other malignant neoplasms. Case Report: We report a 37-year-old male patient who was presented with nasal obstruction, rhinorrhoea, bloody discharge/epistaxis, post nasal drip, facial swelling, orbital symptoms and fever. Endoscopic examination and CT scan of the paranasal sinuses with adequate amount of biopsy tissue is required for a definitive diagnosis. Considering this, endoscopic sinus surgery was performed to eradicate the disease as well as obtain a definite histological diagnosis. The mass was histologically proven as a Nasal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL) and confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Immunohistochemically, the cells were strongly positive for CD20, CD79a, BCL2, BCL6 and MUM1.CD10 was focally positive. Ki-67 index was <99%. After confirmation of the histological diagnosis, chemotherapy was started and with the first cycle, the patient improved with resolution of the facial swelling as well as pain and visual defects. Conclusion: The diagnosis of a sinonasal lymphoma is a challenge for otorhinologists.

  • Selective Screening for Gestational Diabetes in Malaysia
    Ganeshan Muniswaran1, H Suharjono1, SA Soelar2, SD Karalasingam2, R Jeganathan3 Sarawak General Hospital, 1-Sarawak General Hospital, Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia Jalan Hospital, 93586, Kuching, Sarawak 2- Clinical Research Centre, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Hp. No: 0125871220 3- Hospital Sultanah Aminah, Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia Email: [email protected] INTRODUCTION Gestational Diabetes is common in Malaysia and has significant maternal and fetal implications. Active intervention has shown to improve pregnancy outcomes. Pregnancy is an opportunistic time for screening as the future implications of Diabetes can be significant. An ideal screening tool should not be based on complications of the disease or following an adverse event. Despite recommendations for universal screening in a high risk population, Malaysia has opted for selective screening, due to concerns with cost and resources. The objective is to review the effectiveness of the current practice of selective screening for GDM in Malaysia. METHODOLOGY This is a retrospective cohort study. The study period was from 1st January 2011 till 31st December 2012 and 22, 044 patients with GDM were analyzed. Specific variables were extracted from the National Obstetric Registry of Malaysia from all the participating hospitals, with a total 260,959 patients. RESULTS The incidence of GDM is 8.4%. Majority of these patients were identified following GDM complications such as fetal macrosomia, polyhydramnios or increased weight gain. GESTATIONAL DIABETES CRUDE OR VARIABLE YES NO (SIMPLE

  • Historical Development of the Renal Histopathology Services in Malaysia
    Malaysian J Pathol 2009; 31(1) : 11 – 16 SPECIAL ARTICLE Historical development of the renal histopathology services in Malaysia Lai-Meng LOOI MD, FRCPath and Phaik-Leng CHEAH MD, FRCPath Department of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Malaya Abstract Western-style medicine was introduced to Malaya by the Portuguese, Dutch and British between the 1500s and 1800s. Although the earliest pathology laboratories were developed within hospitals towards the end of the 19th Century, histopathology emerged much later than the biochemistry and bacteriology services. The University Departments of Pathology were the pioneers of the renal histopathology diagnostic services. The Department of Pathology, University of Malaya (UM) received its first renal biopsy on 19 May 1968. Hospital Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (HUKM) and Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM) started their services in 1979 and 1987 respectively. It is notable that the early services in these University centres caterred for both the university hospitals and the Ministry of Health (MOH) until the mid-1990s when MOH began to develop its own services, pivoted on renal pathologists trained through Fellowship programmes. Currently, key centres in the MOH are Kuala Lumpur Hospital, Sultanah Aminah Hospital Johor Bahru and Malacca Hospital. With the inclusion of renal biopsy interpretation in the Master of Pathology programmes, basic renal histopathology services became widely available throughout the country from 2000. This subsequently filtered out to the private sector as more histopatholo- gists embraced private practice. There is now active continuing professional development in renal histopathology through clinicopathological dicussions, seminars and workshops. Renal research on amyloid nephropathy, minimal change disease, IgA nephropathy, fibrillary glomerulonephritis, lupus nephritis and microwave technology have provided an insight into the patterns of renal pathology and changing criteria for biopsy.

BMC Nephrology (2020) 21:344 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12882-020-01966-8 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Prevalence of chronic kidney disease and its associated factors in Malaysia; findings from a nationwide population-based cross- sectional study Thamil Arasu Saminathan1* , Lai Seong Hooi2, Muhammad Fadhli Mohd Yusoff1, Loke Meng Ong3, Sunita Bavanandan4, Wan Shakira Rodzlan Hasani1, Esther Zhao Zhi Tan5, Irene Wong6, Halizah Mat Rifin1, Tania Gayle Robert1, Hasimah Ismail1, Norazizah Ibrahim Wong1, Ghazali Ahmad4, Rashidah Ambak1, Fatimah Othman1, Hamizatul Akmal Abd Hamid1 and Tahir Aris1 Abstract Background: The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Malaysia was 9.07% in 2011. We aim to determine the current CKD prevalence in Malaysia and its associated risk factors. Methods: A population-based study was conducted on a total of 890 respondents who were representative of the adult population in Malaysia, i.e., aged ≥18 years old. Respondents were randomly selected using a stratified cluster method. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was estimated from calibrated serum creatinine using the CKD-EPI equation. CKD was defined as eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73m2 or the presence of persistent albuminuria if eGFR ≥60 ml/min/1.73m2. Results: Our study shows that the prevalence of CKD in Malaysia was 15.48% (95% CI: 12.30, 19.31) in 2018, an increase compared to the year 2011 when the prevalence of CKD was 9.07%. An estimated 3.85% had stage 1 CKD, 4.82% had stage 2 CKD, and 6.48% had stage 3 CKD, while 0.33% had stage 4–5 CKD.
