ABSTRACT

To assess the patients' satisfaction level and effect of demographic characteristics on patients' satisfaction with health care facility in a tertiary care hospital. This Descriptive Cross sectional survey was conducted from June through October, 2012 in Out Patients Department of Punjab Social Security Hospital [PESSI], Rawalpindi. Participants were interviewed by trained inter viewers [students of 4th year MBBS class] using pre tested questionnaires. The patients were interviewed for their satisfaction and experience in the healthcare facility regarding interaction with doctors, paramedical staff, and facilities in the institution. Demographics like age, gender, educational status, marital status and monthly income were recorded. A five point scale of Strongly Agree [5], Agree [4], Uncertain [3], Disagree [2], and Strongly Disagree [1] was used. The percentage score was calculated for each patient and patient satisfaction was measured in terms of mean percent score. In sample of 110 patients, age of patient showed significant [p-value= 0.033] relationship with satisfaction score, with maximum satisfaction level [79.86%] in older age patients of > 55 years. Gender and occupation of patient did not show significant effect on satisfaction score. The illiterate or less educated [p-value = 0.003] and married patients were significantly [p-value= 0.003] more satisfied. Patients with less monthly income were significantly[p-value < 0.001] more satisfied. Older and less educated patients with lower income bracket were more satisfied with healthcare facility as compared to younger, highly educated patients and having higher income levels

ABSTRACT

To determine the association of the serum transaminase levels in non-viral liver disorders and the underlying factors, including obesity, serum lipids, history of diabetes, and lifestyle factors, such as smoking and exercise/physical activity. This cross-sectional study was conducted in Medical OPD of Pakistan atomic energy complex [PAEC] Hospital, Islamabad from September, 2011 to February, 2012. Ninety six patients were selected by consecutive sampling after obtaining hospital ethical committee permission and informed written consent. Ratio of S-GOT/S-GPT was analyzed along with values of blood sugar fasting, Cholesterol, Triglycerides, Blood Pressure, Exercise/Physical Activity and Smoking by a semi structured questionnaire. The normal and abnormal values of Liver function tests were associated with the above mentioned investigations and Chi square test was applied. There were 5 [5.2%] patients who had elevated S-GOT value. There was significant association between S-GOT value and monthly income of the patients [p-value <0.029] but not in case of SGPT. Similarly Hepatitis B antigen also showed significant association with S-GOT [0.004] and SGPT level [0.03]. There was no significant relationship between normal or elevated SGOT/SGPT with triglycerides, cholesterol, blood sugar fasting [BSF], blood pressure, practice of regular exercise and smoking status of patients. Raised liver enzymes are associated with positive Hepatitis B antigen and socioeconomic status of patients
