Background: Very limited recent data is available on the causes of child deaths in India.Most of the available studies do not accurately reflect the socio factors related to these deaths. Identifying and assessing the factors affecting the child mortality could be the first step in planning to reduce the mortality and promoting the society health and life expectancy. Therefore the present study was undertaken to find out the socio factors of deaths among children under 5 years of age. Methods: The present cross-sectional survey was conducted among under five children and their parents residing within the selected villages in a community Development Block Sainyan, District Agra using Multistage random sampling technique. Participatory learning action technique was used. Data was analyzed and presented in form of percentages. Results: Diarrhoea was the most common cause of under five children mortality followed by acute respiratory tract infection and pyrexia. Delay in recognition of problem followed by delay in decision making at family level, delay in seeking of health provider and delay in arranging transport were the main social causes of deaths. Most children were attended by local rural medical practitioners both at initial and terminal stages of illness. Conclusions: Efforts to prevent diarrhoea and acute respiratory tract infection must be intensified. Awareness about the services provided by the government and their utilization should be strengthened.

A cross sectional study was undertaken on 58 children (age range 4 months-15 years) With congenital heart disease (CHD) and in controls of 58 subjects without CHD. The study was performed by anthropometric examination, history of acute respiratory tract infection, dietary intake, simple laboratory examination and type and severity of CHD were recorded. There were significant differences in: 1. Nutritional status between patients With CHD and without CHD (p<0.001). 2. Frequency of acute respiratory tract infection between patients with CHD and without CHD (p<0.001). 3. Duration of each episode of acute respiratory tract infection between patients with CHD and without CHD (p<0.05). 4. Calorie and protein intakes between patients with CHD and without CHD (p<0.005). Type of CHD (cyanotic and non-cyanotic) was significantly associated with nutritional status based on height for age among patients with CHD (p<0.01). However, there was no siignificant association between the presence or absence of heart failure with nutritional status among patients with CHD. In conclusion, there were Significantly differences of nutritional status, frequency/duration of acute respiratory tract infection, calories and protein intake between patients with CHD and without CHD. Type of CHD (cyanotic and non-cyanotic) was significantly associated with nutritional status based on height for age.

Non pneumonia Acute Respiratory Tract Infection (ARI) is a respiratory tract disease that is acute with a cough that does not show symptoms of increased respiratory frequency and does not indicate the pull of the lower chest wall inward. The incidence of non pneumonia ARI  in children under five in Kedung Sari Village was recorded at 40.06%. This study aims to determine the description and determinant of the incidence of non-pneumonia ARI  in children under five in Kedung Sari Village, Sukajadi District, Pekanbaru City in 2019. This type of research is quantitative observational analytic with cross sectional design. The study population was all children under five who lived in Kedung Sari Village, Sukajadi District, Pekanbaru City, amounting to 312 people with a sample of 172 respondents. The sampling technique was done by consecutive sampling. The type of data used in this study are primary data and secondary data by means of retrieving data through measurements and questionnaires. Data analysis was done by univariate and bivariate with chi square test. The results showed that there was a correlation between exposure to cigarette smoke (p-value 0,000) and the incidence of non-pneumonia ARI in children under five. It is expected that health workers, especially in the health promotion section of the community health center in implementing control and eradication programs of Acute Respiratory Tract Infection can provide health education, especially regarding the dangers of cigarette smoke for children under five and recommend smokers to smoke in special places so children under five are not exposed cigarettes.

Many snacks are less qualified of health so they threaten children's health. This condition reflects the children become accustomed to eating bad snacks in the school environment. The purpose of this study was to determine the sex and the habit of eating snacks with upper respiratory tract infection occurrence on children in Dharma Wanita Persatuan Unit Kindergarten, Sidoklumpuk, Sidoarjo. The design of the study used an analytic-cross sectional approach. The population was the entire students in Dharma Wanita Persatuan Unit Kindergarten, Sidoklumpuk, Sidoarjo as 28 students, the sample which was 26 respondents was taken by using a simple random sampling technique. The independent variable was sex, snacks habit and the dependent variable was the occurrence of upper respiratory tract infection. The instruments used checklist and questionnaire. The data were analyzed by using spearmen rank test with a significance level (α = 0,05).The result of the study was the majority of the respondents (57.7%) was female and the majority of the respondents (53.8%) had a habit of eating bad snacks and almost half of the respondents (46.2%) was rare occurrence of URTI. Spearman Rank test result obtained that ρ = 0,020, there was no correlation of sex with the upper respiratory tract infection occurrence in Dharma Wanita Persatuan Unit Kindergarten, Sidoklumpuk, Sidoarjo. Furthermore, it was obtained that 0,010 meant that there was correlation between the habit of eating snacks and the occurrence of URTI in Dharma Wanita Persatuan Kindergarten, Sidoklumpuk, Sidoarjo. The conclusion of the study was females most often consume foods which have striking colors, attractive appearances, sweet and savory flavors that are around the school so they will occur URTI. It is advised that parents encourage their children not to buy snacks and make the children become accustomed to having breakfast first.

Abstract Background Currently, Pneumonia is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among under-five children in developing countries including Ethiopia. Despite, these problems are easily preventable and treatable it contributes to more than 18% of deaths of under-five children every year in Ethiopia. Regardless of these facts, there is a paucity of information regarding the magnitude and its predictors of pneumonia in Ethiopia. Thus, assessing the pooled magnitude of pneumonia and its predictors among under-five children in Ethiopia is the main objective of this review. Methods The international databases such as MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, Google Scholar, Science Direct were scientifically explored. We considered all primary studies reporting the magnitude of pneumonia among under-five children and its predictors in Ethiopia. We retrieved all necessary data by using a standardized data extraction format spreadsheet. STATA 14 statistical software was used to analyze the data and Cochrane Q test statistics and I 2 test was used to assess the heterogeneity between the studies. There was significant heterogeneity between the studies so that a random effect model was employed. Result The pooled magnitude of Pneumonia Among Under Five Children was 20.68%, (I 2 = 97.9%%; P ≤ 0.001) from 12 included studies in Ethiopia. Children who unvaccinated [OR = 2.45], food cooking in the main house [OR = 2.46], Vitamin A supplementation status [OR = 2.85], malnutrition [OR = 2.98], mixed breast feeding [OR = 2.46], child history of respiratory tract infection [OR = 4.11] were a potential determinates of pneumonia. Conclusion and Recommendations This review showed that the magnitude of pneumonia was relatively high. Hence, appropriate intervention on potential determinates such as health education on exclusive breastfeeding and nutrition, place of food cooking, increase immunization and Vitamin A supplementation and early control of respiratory tract infection was recommended to prevent those risk factors.
