  • Risk Factors Associated with Necrotising Enterocolitis in Very Low Birth Weight Infants in Malaysian Neonatal Intensive Care Units
    O riginal A rticle Singapore Med J 2012; 53(12) : 826 Risk factors associated with necrotising enterocolitis in very low birth weight infants in Malaysian neonatal intensive care units Nem-Yun Boo1, MRCP, FRCPCH, Irene Guat Sim Cheah2, MRCP, FRCPCH; Malaysian National Neonatal Registry Introduction This study aimed to identify the risk factors associated with necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) in very low birth weight (VLBW; weight < 1,501 g) infants in Malaysian neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Methods This was a retrospective study based on data collected in a standardised format for all VLBW infants born in 2007 (n = 3,601) and admitted to 31 NICUs in Malaysian public hospitals. A diagnosis of NEC was made based on clinical, radiological and/or histopathological evidence of stage II or III, according to Bell’s criteria. Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the significant risk factors associated with NEC. ResuLts 222 (6.2%) infants developed NEC (stage II, n = 197; stage III, n = 25). 69 (31.3%) infants died (stage II, n = 58; stage III, n = 11). The significant risk factors associated with NEC were: maternal age (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.024, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.003–1.046; p = 0.027), intrapartum antibiotics (OR 0.639, 95% CI 0.421–0.971; p = 0.036), birth weight (OR 0.999, 95% CI 0.998–0.999; p < 0.001), surfactant therapy (OR 1.590, 95% CI 1.170– 2.161; p = 0.003), congenital pneumonia (OR 2.00, 95% CI 1.405–2.848; p < 0.001) and indomethacin therapy for the closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) (OR 1.821, 95% CI 1.349–2.431; p = 0.001).

  • Service Disruption on Mrt Kajang Line Due to Signalling Problems
    MEDIA STATEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SERVICE DISRUPTION ON MRT KAJANG LINE DUE TO SIGNALLING PROBLEMS KUALA LUMPUR, 16 August 2021- MRT Kajang Line is experiencing a service disruption due to signalling problems that were detected at 9.15am today that caused all trains that were in operations along the MRT Kajang Line to be held at platforms along its entire alignment starting from MRT Sungai Buloh Station to MRT Kajang Station. “The signalling problems are believed due to a technical issue and Rapid KL’s Engineering Department, together with BT Alstom who is the system’s manufacturer and Mass Rapid Transit Corporation Sdn Bhd (MRT Corp), are working to resolve this so that MRT Kajang Line could operate normally as soon as possible,” said a statement issued by the rail operator today. When the signalling problems were detected, all trains that were in operations switched to manual mode and were driven by Transit Officers to the nearest station, at a speed of not more than 25km/hour. Passengers were advised to disembark and take alternative transport in order to continue with their journey. Then, MRT Kajang Line suspended its operations from 11.15am to 3.45pm to allow for diagnostic work and full system reboot to be performed. It has since resumed operations at 3.45pm in revised service mode. “We deeply regret the inconvenience and would like to apologise to our passengers for this service disruption. For the safety of all involved, MRT Kajang Line is currently operating on revised service mode where trains would be moving slower and dwelling at platforms longer,” it added.

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.
