The service weight is among several issues and challenges in the implementation of case-mix in developing countries, including Malaysia. More importantly, with the identification of the potentially modifiable risk factors, proper public health intervention can be improved.ĭevelopment of MY-DRG casemix pharmacy service weights in UKM Medical Centre in Malaysia.Īli Jadoo, Saad Ahmed Aljunid, Syed Mohamed Nur, Amrizal Muhammad Ahmed, Zafar Van Dort, Dexter Some lifestyle and occupation factors are strong predictors of the occurrence of prostate cancer among patients in UKMMC. Significantly reduced risks of prostate cancer were noted among those consuming more vegetables (OR= 0.12, 95% CI= 0.02-0.84), more tomatoes (OR= 0.35, 95% CI= 0.13-0.93) and those who had frequent sexual intercourse (OR= 0.44, 95% CI= 0.19-0.96). Multivariate analysis showed cases were more likely to have a first-degree relative with a history of cancer (OR= 3.77, 95% CI= 1.19-11.85), to have been exposed to pesticides (OR= 5.57, 95% CI= 1.75-17.78) and consumed more meat (OR= 12.23, 95% CI= 3.89-39.01). The majority were Chinese (50.0%) followed by Malay (46.4%) and Indian (3.6%). Most of the prostate cancer patients (68.8%) that came for treatment in UKMMC were above 70 years old.

McNemar Odds Ratios (OR(M)) were calculated using McNemar Calculator software for univariate analysis while conditional logistic regression was used for multivariate analysis, both using SPSS version 12.0. One hundred and twelfth (112) pairs of cases and controls matched by age and ethnicity were analysed. Prostate cancer cases diagnosed between 20 which met with the inclusion criteria were included in the study. This is the first time a similar study was conducted in Malaysia to recognize the risk factors for prostate cancer patients who came for treatment at University Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre ( UKMMC). Several factors have shown to be related to prostate cancer such as sociodemographic, lifestyle, diet, occupational exposure, medical and health status. In Malaysia, prostate cancer is ranked 6th among male cancer and expected to increase in the future.
