Abstract Background: Acute respiratory tract infection (ARI) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children under the age of five years in the world. ARIs, principally pneumonia, account for approximately 1.9 million (1.6 - 2.2 million) deaths globally in children under the age of five years in Ethiopia. Among these deaths majority occur in the developing world. The share for low and middle-income countries takes the highest indeed. In Ethiopia, the prevalence rate of ARI was 7% according to 2016 EDHS estimates. Method: Bayesian multilevel approach was employed to assess possible factors associated with the prevalence of acute respiratory infection (ARI) among under-five children in Ethiopia. The data was collected from 10,641 children under the age of five years out of which 9,918 children were considered in this study. Result: The ARI prevalence rate for children under five years was estimated as 8.4%, which was slightly higher than the estimated prevalence level of the country. The highest proportion of the prevalence of ARI was observed for children whose mothers had no education. The major health, environmental and nutritional related background characteristics of the proportion of children who had ARI varied from one region to another. The highest prevalence of ARI was observed in Tigray (15.31%) followed by Oromia (14.40%) as opposed to the low prevalence which was recorded in Benishangul Gumuz (2.58%). The utilization of vitamin A was analyzed and the results shows that about 43.10% who received vitamin A had the lowest proportion on the prevalence of ARI (7.75%) compared to not having vitamin A. About 11.13% of under-five children had Diarrhea with the highest prevalence of ARI (24.64%) and the highest prevalence of ARI was observed for the child whose source of drinking water were unprotected/unimproved (9.39%). Conclusion: The age of the child, household wealth index, mother educational level, and vitamin A supplement, history of diarrhea, maternal work, stunting and source of drinking water were found to be significantly affecting the prevalence of ARI among children under five years. Furthermore, the study revealed that there is a significant variation of incidence of ARI between and within the regions of Ethiopia. Attention should be given to those predictor variables while planning to increase the health status of children in Ethiopia.

Background: Acute Respiratory Infections are classified into the upper and lower respiratory tract infections, contributing to the leading cause of death among children under five globally. The estimation showed the deaths of more than 800,000 children under five every year or about 2,200 per day. One of the risk factors for ARI in children under five years of age is secondary exposure to tobacco smoke. This study aimed to examine the effect of cigarette smoke exposure and acute respiratory infection in children under five. Subjects and Method: This was meta analysis and systematic review. The study was conducted by collecting published articles from Google Scholar, Pubmed, and Springer Link databases, from year 2010 to 2019. Keywords used “risk factor” OR “passive smoking” OR “secondhand smoking” AND “ARI due to children under five”. The inclusion criteria were full text, using English language, using cross-sectional study design, and reporting adjusted odds ratio. The collected articles were selected by PRISMA flow chart. The quantitative data were analyzed by fixed effect model using Revman 5.3. Results: 6 studies from Cameroon, Ethiopia, India, Nepal, and Nigeria reported that tobacco smoke exposure increased the risk of acute respiratory infection in children under five (aOR=1.39; 95% CI= 1.22 to 1.58; p<0.001). Conclusion: Tobacco smoke exposure increases the risk of acute respiratory infection in children under five.

Background Malnutrition in children under the age of five remains a major health problem, since half of mortality cases in this age group involve malnutrition. The 2006 earthquake caused destruction of physical, biological and socio-economic environments, potentially leading to malnutrition in Yogyakarta children.Objective To identify the prevalence and risk factors of malnutrition in Yogyakarta children under five years of age, one year after the 2006 earthquake.Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study among children aged 0 to 60 months in the Bambanglipuro Subdistrict, Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta from September to October 2007. Nutritional status was determined using weight for height Z-scores, according to the WHO 2006 Child Growth Standards.Results Out of 666 subjects, we found severe malnutrition, undernutrition, normal weight, and overweight status in 1.7%, 4.8%, 88.6% and 4.8%, respectively. By multivariate analysis, risk factors for malnutrition were not having been weighed during the previous three months (OR 0.35; 95% CI 0.1 to 0.8) and having acute respiratory infection in the previous two weeks (OR 1.99; 95% CI 1.1 to 3.8)Conclusion One year following the 2006 earthquake, acute respiratory infection in the previous two weeks and unmonitored growth in the previous three months were risk factors for malnutrition in children under five years.

Infectious diseases (ARI/Acute Respiratory Infection) that repeatedly cause children's health to increase in the pattern of children's appetite which can lead to less nutritional status of children. This study was to analyze the relationship between the incidence of stunting and the frequency and duration of ARI in children under  five in the Kenjeran Health Center Surabaya Working Area. Analytical research design with cross sectional design in 4 villages between Kenjeran Village, Bulak Village, Kedung Cowek Village, and Sukolilo Village. Data retrieval is done by questionnaire sheet and observation using microtoise, sample technique uses Sampling Probability by using Stratified Random Sampling as many as 152 children. The results of research on children under five who experience the incidence of stunting with the frequency and duration of ARI indicate children who experience stunting and longer frequency. The Rho Spearmen Test showed differences in the incidence of stunting with the frequency of ARI frequency p = 0.001 (p<? = 0, 05), the duration of ARI p = 0.001 (p<? = 0.05). The implication of this study is that stunting is related to the frequency and duration of ARI, so that posyandu activities can add counseling about children's health that requires the treatment of ARI in children under five in the Kenjeran Health Center Surabaya. Keywords: Stunting incidence, frequency, duration, ARI/Acute Respiratory Infection ABSTRAK Penyakit infeksi (ISPA) yang berulang menyebabkan kondisi kesehatan anak menurun sehingga berdampak pada pola nafsu makan anak yang dapat menyebabkan status gizi anak kurang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan kejadian stunting dengan frekuensi dan durasi penyakit diare dan ISPA pada anak usia toddler di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Kenjeran Surabaya. Desain penelitian analitik korelasi dengan pendekatan cross sectional pada 4 Kelurahan antara lain Kelurahan Kenjeran, Kelurahan Bulak, Kelurahan Kedung Cowek, dan Kelurahan Sukolilo. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan lembar kuisioner dan observasi menggunakan microtoise, teknik sampel menggunakan Probability Sampling dengan menggunakan Stratified Random Sampling sebanyak 152 anak. Hasil penelitian bahwa anak toddler yang mengalami kejadian stunting dengan frekuensi dan durasi penyakit ISPA menunjukkan anak yang stunting memiliki frekuensi dan durasi lebih lama. Uji Spearmen Rho menunjukkan adanya hubungan kejadian stunting dengan frekuensi ISPA p=0.001 (?=0.05), durasi ISPA p=0.001 (?=0.05). Implikasi penelitian ini adalah kejadian stunting berhubungan dengan frekuensi dan durasi penyakit ISPA, sehingga kegiatan posyandu dapat menambahkan penyuluhan tentang kesehatan anak terutama penanganan pertama  penyakit ISPA pada anak toddler di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Kenjeran Surabaya. Kata kunci:          Kejadian Stunting, Frekuensi, Durasi, Penyakit ISPA
