A cross-sectional survey on 523 pairs of mother and suffered from acute respiratory infections child6-23 months old treated at the Maternity and Children’s Hospital of Ha Nam provine in 2016-2018to assess the nutritional status of children and describe some mother’s child-feeding practices. Theresults showed that: The rates of stunting and wasting of children were high: 21.2% and 11.1%(respectively); the rate of underweight was 14.0%. The rates of mothers who breastfeed their babieslate after the first hour after birth and of mothers who give complementary foods too early or too late(before 6 months or after 8 months of age) were quite high: 62.5% and 53.0% (respectively); the rateof mothers squeezed colostrum before first breastfeeding was 24.3%. Children who were started oncomplementary feeding at the wrong time compared with those who were fed at the right time hadhigher rates of stunting: 24.2% and 18.8% (respectively) (OR=1, 4; 95%CI 0.9-2.3) but no statisticallysignificant difference (p=0.1075); the rate of underweight malnutrition was also higher: 19.5% and7.8% (respectively) statistically significant difference (OR=2.9; 95%CI 1.6-5.3; p=0.0001).

Objective: To evaluate the operational and financial efficacy of sending short message service (SMS) text message reminders to the mobile telephones of patients with scheduled outpatient clinic appointments. Design: Cohort study with historical control. Setting: Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne, Victoria. Patients: Patients who gave a mobile telephone contact number and were scheduled to attend an outpatient clinic at the Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne in October, November and December 2004 (trial group) or in October, November and December 2003 (historical control group). Main outcome measures: Failure-to-attend (FTA) rate compared between the trial group, whose members were sent a reminder, and the historical control group, whose members were not sent a reminder. Financial benefits versus cost of sending reminders. Results: 22 658 patients with a mobile telephone contact number scheduled to attend an outpatient clinic appointment in October, November and December 2004 were sent an SMS reminder; 20 448 (90.2%) of these patients attended their appointment. The control group included 22 452 patients with a mobile telephone contact number scheduled to attend an appointment, with 18 073 (80.5%) patients attending. The FTA rate was significantly lower in the trial group than in the historical control group (9.8% v 19.5%; P < 0.001). The cost of sending the SMS reminders was small compared with the increase in patient revenue and associated benefits generated as a result of improved attendance. Conclusions: The observed reduction in FTA rate was in line with that found using traditional reminder methods and a prior pilot study using SMS. The FTA reduction coupled with the increase in patient revenue suggests that reminding patients using SMS is a very cost effective approach for improving patient attendance.
