The rate of morbidity due to infection including nosocomial infection during neonatal period is higher than that due to other causes. The purpose of this study was to know the incidence and risk factors of nosocomial infection. This study was conducted on all babies treated at the neonatal unit, Sanglah General Hospital, Denpasar during the period of April-June 1995. Chi square test was used to compare nosocomial infection between birth weight groups and mode of deliveries. The incidence of nosocomial infections in this study was 6%, with male to female ratio of 1.6:1. Skin infections were found most frequently. This occurrence of nosocomial infection was significantly related to the birth weight and mode of delivery, in which the risk of nosocomial infection was greater in babies with low birth weight and delivered by cesarean section or other obstetric procedures.

Introduction: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a complication of diabetes mellitus which has a high risk of mortality. Mortality in DKA patients in developed countries is less than 5%, some other sources mention 5-10%, 2-10%, or 9-10%. Mortality events at clinics with simple facilities and elderly patients can reach 25-50%. The mortality rate of DKA patients is generally higher in infection conditions, especially in developing countries and in septic patients. Several factors such as age, sex, and high blood glucose can increase mortality risk of DKA patients. Other risk factors such as history of discontinued insulin therapy, impaired bicarbonate levels, pH, and increased leukocytes of DKA patients due to infection, abnormal albumin levels, electrolyte disturbances, and Serum Creatinine (SK) were thought to affect mortality of DKA patients. The purpose of this study was to determine the risk factors associated with mortality of DKA patients in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya. Methods: The method used in this study was observational analytic involving 63 adult patients diagnosed with DKA with analysis using Chi-Square test. Results: From 63 patients included in this study, 37 patients diagnosed with DKA died and 26 patients lived. In a multivariate analysis, DKA severity with p = 0.001 (p < 0.005) was identified as having a relationship with mortality of DKA patients Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya. Conclusion: Severity is the only risk factor associated with mortality of DKA patients in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya.

It has been suggested that the low serum albumin levels are associated with the increased incidence of complications after gastrointestinal surgery. The aim of this study was to determine if preoperative total albumin levels are associated with a higher risk of postoperative infections. A total of 151 patients undergoing general surgical procedures between March 2018 to Feb 2019 presenting in the outpatient Department of surgery of Pt. B. D. Sharma Postgraduate Institute of Medical Sciences, Rohtak were studied. Serum albumin levels were done in all the patients preoperatively. Chi square test was used to look for association of nosocomial infection with albumin levels. Serum albumin <3.5 gm/dl was one of the strong risk factors for the development of nosocomial infection after surgery.

The study aimed to examine the relationship between the gender of newborn with weight gained during pregnancy, mode of delivery and some parameters for newborn. This study used a descriptive and cross-sectional research design. A total of 632 women who gave birth in the postpartum service at a hospital were included in the study. The data were collected using a participant information form prepared by the researcher. Chi-square test and independent sample t-test were used to analyze the data. This study found that the mean pregnancy number and whether the current pregnancy was planned or not were higher for the women whose newborn babies were girls than for those whose newborn babies were boys, and that the mean birth weight of newborn girls was lower than that of newborn boys (p<0.05). No statistically significant relationship was found between the gender of newborn babies and the weight gained during pregnancy, mode of delivery, APGAR score, the time of beginning breastfeeding and giving supplementary food to the newborn babies (p>0.05). This study found that the gender of newborn affected their birth weight and is a determinant factor for the fertility rate of women. In these cases against girls, careful attention of health professionals is needed to ensure continuous and different victimization, close attention to risky couples, is recommended for the development of women's health.Extended English abstract is in the end of PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetAraştırma, yenidoğanın cinsiyetinin gebelikte kazanılan kilo, doğum şekli ve yenidoğanın bazı parametreleri ile ilişkisini incelemek amacıyla yapıldı. Araştırma tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tiptedir. Araştırmaya bir hastanenin postpartum servisinde doğum yapan 632 kadın alındı. Veriler araştırmacı tarafından hazırlanan katılımcı bilgi formu aracılığıyla toplandı. İstatistiksel analizde ki-kare testi, independent sample t testi analizi kullanıldı. Araştırmada, kız yenidoğana sahip olan kadınların ortalama gebelik sayısı ve mevcut gebeliğin planlı olma durumu erkek yenidoğana sahip olanlara göre daha yüksek (p<0.05); kız yenidoğanların ortalama doğum kilosunun ise erkeklere oranla daha düşük olduğu saptandı (p<0.05). Araştırmada yenidoğanın cinsiyeti ile gebelikte kazanılan kilo, doğum şekli, APGAR skor, emzirmeye başlama zamanı ve yenidoğana ilk 24 saat içinde ek gıda verilmesi arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmamıştır (p>0.05). Araştırmada yenidoğan cinsiyetinin yenidoğanın doğum kilosunu etkilediği ve kadının doğurganlık hızında belirleyici bir faktör olduğu belirlenen çalışmada; kadın sağlığının geliştirilmesi için, kız çocuklar aleyhine olan bu durumlarda, sürekli ve farklı mağduriyetlerin yaşanmaması için sağlık profesyonellerinin dikkatli olması, riskli çiftlerin yakından ele alınması önerilmektedir.

Background. Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a condition in which one or more pelvic organs (consisting of the uterus, vaginal cuff, bladder, intestines, and rectum) or more are still in or out of the vagina. Risk factors that influence the incidence of POP consist of obstetric risk factors (number of parity and birth method) and non-obstetric risk factors (age, menopause, BMI, comorbid disease, and hypertension). The purpose of this study was to analyze the risk factors associated with the degree of POP. Methods. This study is an observational study with a cross-sectional approach to 111 patients examined at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dr. Mohammad Hoesin general hospital Palembang on January 2017 to December 2019, who was diagnosed with pelvic organ prolapse. Results. The results showed the effect of variables with the degree of POP using the chi-square test, consisting of parity (p=0.007), birth method (p=<0.001), age (p=0.016), menopause (p=0.001), BMI (p =0.005), indicates that there is a significant effect on the degree of POP. Meanwhile, comorbid factors (p=0.481) and hypertension (p=0.415) did not show a significant relationship with the degree of POP. The results of the binary logistic regression analysis of all risk factors, the number of parity >4, overweight, and age 40 years, will have a 99.85% chance of experiencing grade 3 or 4 prolapse. Conclusion. Age is the most dominant risk factor affecting the degree of pelvic organ prolapse, with 19 times the chance of developing POP 3 or 4 degrees.

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a known cause of blindness in which diagnosis and timely treatment can prevent serious harm to the child. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of ROP and its association with known risk factors. DESIGN AND SETTING: Longitudinal incidence study in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of Universidade Estadual de Montes Claros. METHODS: Newborns admitted to the NICU with gestational age less than 32 weeks and/or birth weight less than 1,500 grams, were followed up over a two-year period. The assessment and diagnosis of ROP were defined in accordance with a national protocol. The chi-square test or Fisher's exact test were used to determine associations between independent variables and ROP. Analysis on the independent effect of the variables on the results was performed using multiple logistic regression. RESULTS: The incidence of ROP was 44.5% (95% confidence interval, CI = 35.6-46.1) in the study population. The risk factors associated with the risk of developing the disease were: birth weight less than 1,000 grams (odds ratio, OR = 4.14; 95% CI = 1.34-12.77); gestational age less than 30 weeks (OR = 6.69; 95% CI = 2.10-21.31); use of blood derivatives (OR = 4.14; 95% CI = 2.99-8.99); and presence of sepsis (OR = 1.99; 95% CI = 1.45-2.40). CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of ROP was higher than that found in the literature. The main risk factors were related to extreme prematurity. CONTEXTO E OBJETIVO: A retinopatia da prematuridade (ROP) é causa conhecida de cegueira e diagnóstico e tratamento oportunos podem evitar graves danos à criança. Este estudo objetivou avaliar a incidência da ROP e sua associação com fatores de risco conhecidos.
