- СтавкаDetection of diabetic polyneuropathy in a family medicine clinic by using monofilament(Military Medical Academy, 2022) Lakić, Biljana; Petrović, Verica; Račić, Maja; Stanetić, KosanaBackground/Aim. Diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) is the most common microvascular complication of diabetes melli-tus (DM), which may be present at the time of disease detec-tion. Screening for DPN is performed for the patients with type 2 diabetes at the time of diagnosis and for type 1 diabe-tes 5 years after diagnosis. The primary aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of DNP among family medicine patients with DM aged 18 to 70 years using nylon monofila-ment. Methods. The cross-sectional study estimated the prevalence of DPN among primary care patients with DM in Banja Luka, Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Semmes-Weinstein nylon 10 g monofilament was used to de-tect DPN. Age, gender, duration of DM, type of therapy, symptoms, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and risk fac-tors (hypertension, smoking, dyslipidemia, obesity, physical inactivity) were analyzed. Data collection took place from June 1st, 2017 to May 31st, 2018. Results. The study includ-ed 228 patients, 132 (57.9%) men and 96 (42.1%) women. There was a statistically significant difference in the presence of all symptoms of DPN (tingling, burning, light burning, and stinging) among patients with different duration of DM (p < 0.01). Multivariate logistic regression revealed that patients who had hypertension [odds ratio (OR) = 26.2; 95% confi-dence interval (CI): 4.070–168.488; p = 0.001], used oral anti-diabetic therapy (OR = 12.3; 95% CI: 1.300–116.309; p = 0.029), had tingling (OR = 5.2; 95% CI: 1.431–18.571; p = 0.012) and a longer duration of diabetes (OR = 4.27; 95% CI: 1.983–9.175; p = 0.000) were more likely to have DPN. Con-clusion. The prevalence of DPN in family medicine patients with DM using nylon monofilament was 24.2%. Determi-nants of DNP were the presence of symptoms of tingling, duration of diabetes, hypertension, and the use of oral antidi-abetic therapy alone.
- СтавкаScreening of undiagnosed depression among elderly primary care patients: a cross-sectional study from the Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina(Medical Association of Zenica-Doboj Canton, Bosnia and Herzegovina, 2020) Stanetić, Kosana; Petrović, Verica; Stanetić, Bojan; Kević, Vesna; Stanetić, Mirko; Matović, Jelena; Kusmuk, Srebrenka; Račić, MajaAim To examine the prevalence of undiagnosed depression among primary care elderly patients in the entity of the Republic of Srpska (Bosnia and Herzegovina) as well as the sociodemographic and clinical risk factors associated with depression. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted between April and June 2019 in nine towns of the Republic of Srpska. The study sample included 1,198 primary care patients older than 65 years of age. Research instruments included a sociodemographic questionnaire and Geriatric Depression Scale - Short Form (GDS-SF). Results Positive screening test (GDS-SF score > 5), which indicates depression was found in 484 (40.4%) participants. Multivariate regression analysis showed that lower education levels [OR = 1.565, 95% CI (1.13-2.17)], divorced and widowed [OR = 1.366, 95% CI (1.16-1.62)], poor financial situation [OR = 1.690 , 95% CI (1.25-2.29)], non-home residents [OR = 2.200, 95% CI (1.41- 3.44)], non-hobby patients [OR = 2.115, 95% CI (1.54-2.91) ], non-friends [OR = 3.881, 95% CI (2.70-5.57)], patients suffering from chronic pain [OR = 2.414, 95% CI (1.72-3.39)], patients with daily life limitation activities [OR = 1.415, 95% CI (1.03-1.95)], patients with three or more chronic diseases [OR = 1.593, 95% CI (1.12-2.27)], patients using five or more drugs [OR = 1.425. 95% CI (1.00-2.03)], and patients with history of previous depression [OR = 2.858, 95% CI (1.94-4.21)] were at higher risk for depression. Conclusion The prevalence of undiagnosed depression in the elderly in Republic of Srpska is high. Future strategies are needed to strengthen screening of geriatric depression in primary health care.
- СтавкаSeroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies among primary healthcare workers in the Republic of Srpska, Bosnia & Herzegovina: A cross-sectional study(Academy Kiado, Budapest, 2022) Knežević, Darija; Petković, Miroslav; Božić, Ljiljana; Miljuš, Nataša; Mijović, Biljana; Aćimović, Jela; Djaković-Dević, Jelena; Puhalo-Sladoje, Dragana; Mašić, Srđan; Spaić, Dragan; Todorović, Nevena; Pilipović-Broćeta, Nataša; Petrović, Verica; Bokonjić, Dejan; Stojiljković, Miloš P.; Škrbić, RankoHealthcare workers (HCW) in primary healthcare centres in the Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina, are on the first combat line with COVID-19. This study aimed to assess the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 among HCW at the primary healthcare centres and to analyse the risk exposure to COVID-19, clinical signs and vaccination status. A cross-sectional study was conducted among HCW at the selected primary healthcare centres between 19 March and 30 April 2021. Antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). A total of 1,023 HCW (mean age 45 years; 71% female) were included in the study. The anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies were detected in 69.5% of all participants. There was a significant difference in seropositivity among primary healthcare centres from different geographical regions. As many as 432 (42%) of all participants had confirmed COVID-19 symptoms before the study and, 84.8% of them were seropositive. This study showed that 702 primary HCW were vaccinated with any of these vaccines: Sputnik V, Sinopharm, Pfizer/Biontech. High titre of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies was found amongst those who received one (92.6%) or both (97.2%) doses of vaccines. In this study, we report high prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibody among HCW in primary healthcare in the Republic of Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina during the third pandemic wave.
