This review aim to analyse the cost-effectiveness of epilepsy surgery for drug-resistant epilepsy in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Medline, PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library were searched without restrictions. Studies from World Bank-classified LMICs reporting original cost and/o cost-effectiveness data for epilepsy surgery were included. Two reviewers independently screened records, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias. Pooled seizure freedom (Engel Class I ≥ 12 months) and cost differences were analysed using random-effects Hartung-Knapp models in RevMan app. PRISMA 2020 guidelines were followed. From 20,948 records, 11 studies (2,684 patients) from seven LMICs were included. Direct surgical costs ranged from US$500 to US$14,894 (2025 USD). The pooled mean cost difference (surgery vs. medical management) was US$1,290 (p = 0.07; I²=100%). Surgery showed markedly superior efficacy, with pooled odds ratio for Engel Class I seizure freedom (≥ 12 months) of 22.51 (p < 0.00001; I²=9%), corresponding to 52–79.4% freedom rates in surgical groups versus 7.7–16% in medical groups. Two studies reported ICERs of approximately US$1,236 and US$26,564 per QALY gained. Epilepsy surgery in LMICs offers over 20-fold higher odds of seizure freedom at modest costs and cost-effective, supporting expansion of accessible surgical programs to reduce the treatment gap in resource-limited settings.
Hospitals play a central role in maintaining the continuity of healthcare services during crises, underscoring the strategic necessity of disaster preparedness to strengthen the health system’s resilience. This study analyzed global trends, research developments, and scientific influences related to hospital disaster preparedness to identify knowledge gaps and future priorities for enhancing resilience and promoting health. Data were retrieved from the Scopus database using the keywords “hospital” and “disaster preparedness” for the years 2015–2025, screened according to the inclusion criteria, and analyzed using VOSviewer and Scopus Analytics. A total of 628 articles met the criteria. The number of publications increased sharply after 2020, with notable dominance by high-income countries and leading academic institutions with substantial research funding. Bibliometric mapping revealed four major research clusters: (1) hospital emergency management and system preparedness, (2) healthcare workforce resilience and lessons from the pandemic, (3) education, training, and behavioral preparedness, and (4) cross-country collaboration in disaster response. Although the multidisciplinary dimension of hospital preparedness is evident through the inclusion of engineering and computer science fields, technology-related keywords did not appear at the applied threshold, suggesting that research on technology integration remains limited. Contributions from Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) are also underrepresented, highlighting disparities in research capacity and funding. This study expands global understanding of hospital disaster preparedness by identifying emerging and underexplored areas, emphasizing the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration, equitable research partnerships, and the integration of health promotion approaches to build adaptive, resilient hospitals worldwide.
Background: The financial performance of hospitals significantly influences the quality and sustainability of healthcare services, particularly amid rising operational costs and evolving healthcare regulations. While various financial metrics have been studied, there remains a lack of comprehensive bibliometric analyses that map the growth, emerging themes, and future research directions in this field. This study aims to fill that gap by examining the development and patterns of hospital financial performance research. Methods: A bibliometric analysis was conducted using the SPAR-4-SLR protocol on 2,387 publications retrieved from the Scopus database, spanning from 2014 to October 12, 2024. Bibliometric techniques such as co-authorship, keyword co-occurrence, and citation analysis were performed using VOS viewer to identify research trends, leading contributors, and thematic clusters. Results: The analysis revealed a steady increase in publications from 2014 to 2021, peaking at 341 papers. A slight decline in subsequent years is likely due to indexing delays, not reduced research activity. Thematic clustering identified four main areas of focus: (1) hospital, (2) COVID-19, and (3) healthcare. In recent years, additional attention has been given to emerging themes such as health equity, access, and the application of artificial intelligence. These findings suggest a dynamic and evolving research landscape that reflects broader shifts in healthcare priorities. Conclusion: Research on hospital financial performance has expanded notably over the past decade. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed financial system vulnerabilities, shifting research priorities. The United States remains the leading contributor to global output in this field. The identified themes highlight both established and emerging priorities that are likely to shape future inquiry. These insights are essential for informing hospital administrators, policymakers, and healthcare professionals in developing more resilient and equitable financial strategies and health policies. Continued bibliometric monitoring will be valuable for tracking progress and guiding strategic interventions.

Nowadays, the Muhammadiyah Organization has healthcare foundations and consists of a thousand hospitals scattered throughout Indonesia. The scheme of AUMKES hospitals in the current Social Health Insurance Administration Body era needs ease for accessing the external budget. This budget is used for hospital working capital, physicians, integrated information technology, upgrading and expanding facilities, and other service delivery events. On the other hand, Social Health Insurance Administration Body reimbursement, the significant revenue, often delayed and disrupt the cash flow for its operational activities. Borrowing money with some assurance from the bank to cover this problem is usually done by the hospital. This loan must cost more and is limited. This study aims to project the budget required and other alternative funding with a plan and establish the Crowd funding start-up, external funding based on the internal Muhammadiyah foundation fund. Because actually, Muhammadiyah has a vital funding source but not and wholly organized. Therefore, a great system is required to maintain the Muhammadiyah organization's goals. Research result researchers created a crowdfunding platform as a form of startup funded by LRI UMY. In this study, researchers are still focusing on the formation of a crowdfunding platform website design. The form of the crowdfunding platform compiled in this study can be seen in the User Design and Activities on the Website. This user design is what distinguishes our platform from other crowdfunding platforms.

This study aims to ascertain the influence of halal awareness and entrepreneurial motivation on the performance of MSMEs in Padang City. A survey methodology was employed, with questionnaires distributed to 137 respondents, selected through the use of a purposive sampling technique. The sample size was determined with the assistance of the Raosoft Sample Size Calculator. Subsequently, the data were processed and tested using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21 to test the aforementioned hypothesis. The findings revealed that, of the two independent variables under investigation, namely halal awareness and entrepreneurial motivation, the variable of halal awareness exerted a more pronounced influence on the performance of MSMEs in Padang City. This is indicated by a beta value of 0.408, which suggests that an increase in halal awareness among MSME players can lead to a notable enhancement in their business performance. It is therefore recommended that MSME players in Padang City develop a deeper understanding of and implement the concept of halal awareness in their business operations. This may be achieved by registering their products for halal certification, ensuring that the production process meets halal standards, and maintaining the cleanliness and hygiene of the production site. It is important to note that not all clean products are necessarily halal. Rather, products that are halal must adhere to specific hygiene standards. Therefore, businesses must ensure that every stage of production meets these standards to increase consumer confidence. Furthermore, it is crucial for MSME players to participate in training or workshops pertaining to halal principles and production management in accordance with halal standards. In order to enhance the performance of MSMEs, businesses are advised to not only prioritize halal awareness, but also to consider other factors that can contribute to their performance, such as entrepreneurial competency development, enhanced human resource management, and more effective marketing strategies.
