Network Perak Bulletin
Introduction
Geetings to the inaugural issue of the Perak CRC's Network Bulletin.
This bulletin represents the work and achievements of the three Clinical
Research Centre's in Perak ie CRC HRPB Ipoh, CRC Taiping and CRC
Hospital Sri Manjung. The idea of having this bulletin stemmed from
comments of our State Health Director Dato Dr Ding Lay Ming and
HRPB Hospital Director, Dr Teo Gim Sian.
Situated in some corner of a hospital, CRC's are often paid scant
attention by clinicians. The research and work produced goes
unnoticed and sometimes unrecognised. The aim of this bulletin is to
create an awareness of the various research related activities conducted by the various CRC's in
Perak. A calendar of courses and workshops is also provided so that clinicians and those
interested in research can plan for their required training needs.
The bulletin will also highlight the research achievements of not only the CRC staff but also
clinicians who have produced landmark papers. Dato Dr Amar Singh has left an indelible mark
on the research landscape in Perak. Filling his shoes is an impossible task ... alone. Working
together, with the State Health Directors, Hospital Directors, Clinicians and other Allied Health
Staff, we hope the future of research in the State of Perak will continue to grow and expand.
This bulletin is a step in that direction.

Clinical Audit in Hospital
In September 2018, Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun successfully
organised a clinical audit competition involving participations from all
the departments. The aims of holding this clinical audit competition
were to address the findings of clinical audit and to acknowledge the
efforts of healthcare providers who have been committed in conducting
clinical audits.
Most of the healthcare providers felt a degree of trepidation about
undertaking a clinical audit. This may be because of their uncertainty
about clinical audit, its purpose and importance in health care setting. A
common recurring concern that healthcare professionals have is to
understand how clinical audit differs from research.
The purpose of clinical audit is to monitor to what extent we follow the
evidence-based standards for any given healthcare activity.
Subsequently, we need to identify the reasons of why standards are not
met and finally to ensure that any actions implemented lead to the
planned outcomes. Clinical audit is seen as the final step in evidence
based healthcare practice. Therefore, healthcare providers are
encourage to conduct a clinical audit, and the audit results should be
presented and disseminated wherever possible to share learning,
support change and celebrate good practice.
The best description to
differentiate between clinical
audit and research:
“Clinical Audit can be defined
as the assessment, evaluation
and improving the care of
patients in a systematic way.
Setting of standards,
measurement of practice
compared to the ‘gold
standard’ identification of
deficiencies and addressing
deficiencies (closing the
loop) is an accepted model of
clinical audit.” Source:
Medical Council 2006.

discovering the right thing to
do; audit with ensuring that
it is do” Source: Smith R.

Key point
Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD)
is highly prevalent among the
obese multiethnic Malaysian
women. Bariatric surgery has
proven benefit in resolving FSD
across all sexual domains and
should be considered as a
management option in this group
of women.
Background incidence estimates
of viscerotropic-(VLD) and
neurotropic-like disease (NLD)
obtained in Mexico, Brazil, and
Malaysia could provide context
for cases occurring after the
introduction of the tetravalent
dengue vaccine.
Malay Believe about Medicine
Questionnaire (BMQ)-General
and BMQ-Specific were fit and
reliable with good internal
consistencies. It is applicable to
be adopted to the local DM
population.
The present meta-analysis
concluded that FV
rs1800595, FVII rs5742910,
FXII rs1801020, and FXIII-A
rs5982 and rs3024477
polymorphisms are not
associated with ischemic
stroke risk.
Clinicians should be aware
of the unique presentations
of aortic dissection and
aneurysm, as both can
mimic other serious
diseases whereby
misdiagnosis can be fatal. In
district setting where
advanced radiological
imaging is not readily
available, the utility of Point
of Care Ultrasound (PO-
CUS) in the Emergency
Department (ED) can be
crucial to diagnose aortic
dissection and aneurysm.

The BA/BE study obtained approval from the Malaysia Research and Ethics Committee (MREC) at the end of year 2017. The BABE activities
involved participation of healthy volunteers. The recruitment team started the recruitment activities since early year 2018. The screening activity
was carried out in October 2018 and the clinical phase was conducted in November 2018.
The BA/BE study involved personnel from multiple teams, including doctors, nurses, pharmacists and dietician. Team work is one of the most
important elements to make any BA/BE study successful. Besides, competent investigators are necessary for risk assessment and mitigation plan
during the trial. For instance, during the first week of the trial, there were difficulties in subjects’ blood withdrawal. The principal investigator
then hired medical officers from the Anesthetic Department as phlebotomist in the second week of the trial. This action has significantly
improved the blood withdrawal process and reduces the time deviation of subjects’ blood withdrawal. We have learnt that it is important to put
the right person on the right task.
After the clinical phase, the blood samples were sent to the bioanalytical site located in Bayan Lepas, Penang for analysis. The bioequivalence
report is expected to be produced in the middle of March 2019. Next, CRC HRPB Ipoh will arrange for NPRA inspection in order to be
accredited as a Bioequivalence Clinical Site. We expect to conduct more BA/BE trials after the accreditation happened.
Continuous Medical Education (CME) session
On the 25th of January 2019, Clinical Research Centre HRPB Ipoh
has participated in the Hospital Level CME session. The CME session
was held in the Auditorium of Hospital Raja Permaisuri Bainun
(HRPB) Ipoh and attended by more than 200 staffs working in the
HRPB.
The title of the CME was “BABE: Is ORI better?” The speaker was Mr.
Chang Chee Tao, pharmacists and the project manager of the study.
The aim of CME topic was to bring awareness to the audience about
the importance of Bioavailability and Bioequivalence (BA/BE) studies
in the country and the experience of the CRC HRPB Ipoh Team in
conducting the BA/BE study. The session also informed and
discussed the effectiveness of generic drug in comparison to the
original (innovator) version of the drug.

During the recent CRC Network Meeting on 21st and 22nd February, the National CRC
and 33 hospital CRCs came together to discuss the directions for research in 2019. The
1st day of the meeting was held at Holiday Villa Subang. The meeting was led by Dato’
Dr Goh Pik Pin and Dr Kalaiarasu M. Peariasamy, started off with introductions of new
CRC members, followed by 2018’s achievements, and the roles and functions of the
CRC Head and unit. Each CRC voiced challenges faced, and their plans for research in
2019. There was also a dialogue with CRM, where various issues pertaining to industry
sponsored research (ISR), including legal and financial issues, were discussed.
On the 2nd day, the meeting was moved to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) at
Setia Alam. The meeting began with a brief tour of the NIH and a group photograph.
Each unit within the Institute of Clinical Research (previously known as the CRC)
introduced their teams to the hospital CRCs, and presented their research plans for the
year. Research priority areas were identified and mechanisms to increase IIR output
were discussed.
The take-home messages from the CRC Network Meeting are:
1. Focus on investigator initiated research (IIR), and conduct research on patient-
important outcomes that will translate into policy and practice
2. Plan research projects early in the year, in line with national research priority areas, to
aim for funding opportunities through national research grants
3. Use existing resources wisely to generate research output and achieve target KPIs, to
handle upcoming budget and staff cuts.

systematic review of care against explicit criteria and the implementation of change.
Therefore, Clinical Audit is one of the vital aspects in clinical governance. It is also an
important requirement in the Hospital Accreditation Program.
