Abstract Background: Pneumonia is more commonly among children under five years old and caused by several risk factors. Pneumonia causes 1.9 – 2.2 million children death worldwide every year, in which 1.3 million (81%) generally occurs in first 2 years of life. Seventy two percent of pneumonia occurs in children under five years old in 15 countries.  Indonesia was the 7th highest in the world. The prevalence of pneumonia in Indonesia was 18.5/1000 population and only 1.6/1000 received treatment. This study aim to elaborate the risk factors of the influenza related pneumonia in children under five years old. Method: The pneumonia control program in Ministry of Health focuses on early detection and treatment for bacterial pneumonia in community. Severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) can develop fatal pneumonia. We collected data from the pneumonia surveillance database in the Acute Respiratory Infection subdirectorate. Results: Influenza related pneumonia was 13% of acute lower respiratory infection in pediatric. The number of children under five years old death estimation was   28,000-115,000 and 99% happened in developing countries. The aim of this review is to understand influenza related pneumonia in Indonesia and global.  Summary: In Indonesia, proportion of influenza from SARI surveillance was 12% and mainly in children under five years old (36%).  Pneumonia was 18% of SARI cases with positive influenza. The effect of Influenza become pneumonia remain unclear.

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.

Before And After

The problem of malnutrition in children under five years is not a new thing, but the problem is still actual . One of the alleviation program for malnurition problem is food supplementation. The biscuits are used as food supplementation in the community , is still a food manufacturer based flour and it hasn’t enriched yet by exploring the potential of local food that is rich in nutrients, such as fishery products. This research was aimed to see the effect of Bilih fish (Mystacoleucus padangensis) biscuits on nutritional status and morbidity of malnutrition children under five years in the region of Belimbing Health Centre, Padang city. The study is an experimental research with pre-post test one group design. Preliminary research was done to get the formula Bilih fish flour biscuits by using a completely randomized design (CRD) continued by acceptance with organoleptic test.  The subjects of the research were children ages 2-5 years who where WAZ-scores ≤ -2 SD conducted purposively. The treatmen was given 5 times a week for 3 week. Data collected by antrophometry for nutritional status, interview for morbidity and 24 hour- recall for intake energy and nutritions. Data was analyzed in the continuous stages:   data analysis  to obtain the best functional biscuit formulation was obtained by ANOVA test with 95 % confidence level. The effect of Bilih fish  biscuits on nutritional status and morbidity  was analyzed by paired T-Test. It was found that the best biscuits formula from Bilih fish  was formula F1 (Addition 10 gr of Bilih Fish flour, 500 kkal energy, 7,8 gr protein and 1,9 mg zinc). The average change of WAZ-scores was 0,2 SD after treatmen. There was a decline in the number of children under five suffering from diarrhea and acute respiratory infection after treatment. There was a difference of nutritional status, intake of energy and nutrients, suffering from acute respiratory infection before and after giving the biscuits from Bilih fish flour. There was no difference in suffering from diarrhea before and after treatmen. Giving the biscuits from bilih fish flour can increase WAZ-score. Further research conducted need to look at the acceptability and the efficacy of  Bilih fish flour usage in the  food processing techniques to  improve the value of the food nutrition.

Abstract Background Acute Respiratory infection accounts for 94,037000 disability adjusted life years and 1.9 million deaths worldwide. Acute respiratory infections is the most common causes of under-five illness and mortality. The under five children gets three to six episodes of acute respiratory infections annually regardless of where they live. Disease burden due to acute respiratory infection is 10–50 times higher in developing countries when compared to developed countries. The aim of this study was to assess risk factors of acute respiratory infection among under-five children attending Public hospitals in Southern Tigray, Ethiopia 2016/2017. Methods Institution based case control study was conducted from Nov 2016 to June 2017. Interviewer administered structured questionnaire was used to collect data from a sample of 288 (96 cases and 192 controls) children under 5 years of age. Systematic random sampling was used to recruit study subjects and SPSS version 20 was used to analyze the data. Bivariate and multivariate analysis were employed to examine statistical association between the outcome variable and selected independent variables at 95% confidence level. Level of statistical Significance was declared at p < 0.05. Tables, figures and texts were used to present data. Result One hundred sixty (55.6%) and 128 (44.4%) of the participants were males and females respectively. Malnutrition (AOR = 2.89; 95%CI: 1.584–8.951; p = 0.039), cow dung use (AOR =2.21; 95%CI: 1.121–9.373; p = 0.014), presence of smoker in the family (AOR = 0.638; 95% CI: 0.046–0.980; p = 0.042) and maternal literacy (AOR = 3.098; 95%CI: 1.387–18.729; p = 0.021) were found to be significant predictors of acute respiratory infection among under five children. Conclusion According to this study maternal literacy, smoking, cow dung use and nutritional status were strongly associated with increased risk of childhood acute respiratory infection. Health care providers should work jointly with the general public, so that scientific knowledge and guidelines for adopting particular preventive measures for acute respiratory infection are disseminated.

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.
