Objective.To clarify the prevalence, risk factors, outcome, and outcome-related factors of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) in patients with dermatomyositis (DM), polymyositis (PM), or clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis (CADM).Methods.Data of patients with DM, PM, or CADM who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University from February 2011 to February 2019 were retrospectively collected. Patients diagnosed with HLH constituted the case group. A 1:4 case-control study was performed to identify risk factors for HLH in patients with DM, PM, or CADM through comparison, univariate, and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Intragroup comparison was made among patients with HLH to identify factors influencing unfavorable short-term outcome.Results.HLH was a rare (4.2%) but fatal (77.8%) complication in patients with DM, PM, or CADM. The retrospective case-control study revealed that higher on-admission disease activity (p = 0.008), acute exacerbation of interstitial lung disease (AE-ILD, p = 0.002), and infection (p = 0.002) were risk factors for complication of HLH in patients with DM, PM, or CADM. The following intragroup comparison showed that higher on-admission disease activity (p = 0.035) and diagnosis of CADM (p = 0.039) might influence the short-term outcome of patients with HLH. However, no risk factor was identified after false discovery rate correction.Conclusion.In this study, secondary HLH was a fatal complication, with higher on-admission disease activity, AE-ILD, and infection working as risk factors. The underlying role of infection and autoimmune abnormality in HLH in connective tissue disease was subsequently noted. Clinical factors influencing the short-term outcome of patients with secondary HLH require further study.

Background: Preterm Low Birth Weight babies carry relatively higher risk of perinatal and neonatal mortality, retarded growth and development subsequently. In this study, some maternal risk factors were investigated as it seems to be important to study these factors on regional basis. Objective: To find out the maternal risk factors, clinical profile and short term outcome of pre-term low birth weight neonates by gestational age, birth weight, Occipitofrontal Circumference, length, different presentation (asphyxia, hypothermia, feeding difficulties, signs of infection) on admission and the morbidity and mortality of preterm LBW. Materials and Methods: A descriptive type of cross sectional study was done in neonatal ward of Jalalabad Ragib Rabeya Medical College Hospital, Sylhet from May, 2015 to April, 2016. Hundred cases were selected from neonatal ward and 100 controls were selected from obstetrics ward. Results: Among 100 pre-term LBW neonates, 52 were male and 48 were female. Only 22% mother took regular antenatal check up in case group and 55% in control group. Mean gestational age of neonates were 33.3±2.1 weeks. Important risk factors were primi parity (58% in cases vs 34% in control), hypertension (19% vs 5%), pre-eclampsia (26% vs 12%), prolonged rupture of membrane (33% vs 7%), APH (22% vs 0%), acute infection (8% vs 1%), multiple birth (17% vs 2%). Common clinical presentations were prematurity and LBW. Commonest morbidity was feeding problem (70%). The overall survival rate was 87%. Most common cause of death was septicemia (30%). Conclusion: all the identified risk factors were significantly higher in pre-term LBW babies than those of control. KYAMC Journal Vol. 11, No.-2, July 2020, Page 77-82

Abstract Introduction Pediatric cancer contributes <1% of all malignancies. Childhood cancer survival has improved dramatically with the use of more intensive chemotherapy regimens, better stratification, and improvement in supportive care with enhanced facilities in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Objective The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors responsible for poor outcome in critically ill children with malignancies admitted in PICU. Materials and Methods Sixty-four children with a primary diagnosis of malignancy admitted in PICU with disease or treatment related complications were enrolled retrospectively. The short-term outcome, that is, shifting from PICU to ward, was assessed in relation to the presence of febrile neutropenia, organ failure, hepatitis, acute renal failure as well as requirement of inotropes and mechanical ventilation. Death was considered as an adverse outcome in this study. Results The mean age of study population was 6.25 ± 3.91 and M:F ratio 2.4:1. The majority of children had hematological malignancies (81.25%), that is, pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) (45.3%), non-Hodgkin lymphoma (21.3%), acute myeloid leukemia (12.5%), T ALL (10.9%), and Hodgkin lymphoma (3.1%). Few children also had retinoblastoma (4.7%) and Langerhans cell histiocytosis (1.6%). The mean duration of PICU stay was 3.16 ± 2.31 days. Sepsis (37.5%) was the most common indication for PICU admission, followed by metabolic disturbance (26.6%), respiratory failure (17.2%), neurological complaints (15.6%), and anaphylactic shock (3.1%). Children requiring mechanical ventilation (p < 0.001), inotrope support (p < 0.001), having acute renal failure (p = 0.001), and >1 organ failure (p < 0.001) were associated with adverse outcome. The overall survival at the time of discharge from PICU was 64%. Conclusion In the context of low- and middle-income countries, optimal resource utilization by early identification of risk factors for clinical deterioration is required to allow timely admission to PICU and delivery of life-saving therapy to salvageable patients.

Osteopenia Of Prematurity

Background. Prematurity is one of the major health problems and common causes of neonatal mortality. One of the complications of premature infants is hyponatremia. The effect of hyponatremia on the prognosis of preterm infants has not been well studied. This study aimed to evaluate infants with late hyponatremia, its risk factors, and prognosis. Methods. This descriptive analytical study reviewed preterm infants (<34 weeks) admitted to Al-Zahra or Children’s Hospital in Tabriz for one year (2019). Neonates diagnosed with hyponatremia after the second week were identified and evaluated for risk factors and short-term outcome. Results. A total of 186 neonates were studied. The mean gestational age of the neonates was 30 weeks (first and third quarters = 29-32 weeks). 101 (54.3%) infants were male. The route of delivery was the cesarean section in 60.7% of cases. Late hyponatremia was present in 50 (26.8 %) infants. Gestational age and birth weight were significantly lower in infants with hyponatremia than in the control group. Multivariate analysis showed that low birth weight, the use of prenatal steroids, and inappropriate weight for gestational age status independently predict the incidence of late hyponatremia. There was a significant relationship between the presence of prolonged late hyponatremia (over 7 days) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia and osteopenia of prematurity. However, no significant association was found between the presence of prolonged late hyponatremia in preterm infants with the length of hospital stay and in-hospital mortality. Conclusion. Based on the findings of this study, low birth weight, prenatal steroid use, and lack of appropriate weight for gestational age were risk factors for late hyponatremia in preterm infants. Prolonged hyponatremia is associated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia and osteopenia of prematurity
