Sensorineural Hearing Disorder in children could give a significant impact on everyday life and would cause loneliness, isolation, and frustration on children. Perinatal risk factors are important to note because they could be detected from newborn and could be an indication for the baby to do the screening. The purpose of hearing screening in newborns is to find hearing loss as early as possible so that habilitation can be done immediately. The purpose of this study was to describe perinatal period as risk factors for Sensorineural Hearing Disorder in children. The subjects of this study were children who has done BERA examinations at the Otolaryngology (ENT) Polyclinic of Abdul Wahab Sjahranie Hospital in Samarinda from January 2017 – June 2019. The design of this study was observational descriptive with cross-sectional method. There were 65 children as sample which consisted of 39 (60%) boys and 26 (40%) girls. BERA examination age that was found in this study has not reached the optimal standard if it is referring to the JCIH standard with the most age group is 3 years old. 37 (56.9%) children suffered from Sensorineural Hearing Disorder. 27 (41.5%) children had perinatal risk factors. The most common risk factors was jaundice which the researchers found on 11 (16.9%) children. 20 (30.8%) children who have perinatal risk factors and Sensorineural Hearing Disorder with the most common risk factor is LBW are as many as 10 (15.4%).

Introduction: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a major cause of death around the world. There are limited studies of risk factor profile in young adults with AMI. This study aimed to assess the risk factor profile of young adults with AMI at the emergency department of Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan (HTAA), Kuantan, Pahang. This is a preliminary result of young adults (age between 18 to 45 years old) who presented to the emergency department of HTAA. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in HTAA from the 31st July 2017 to the 11th June 2018 involving 709 patients who were diagnosed with AMI. Seventy seven patients were less than 45 years old. However, only 55 were recruited for analysis who fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The prevalence of young adults with AMI was 10.9% with mean age of 38.8 ± 5.1 years old and 96.4% were male. Eighty percent of the patients were Malay followed by 10.9% Chinese and 9.1% were Indian. 83.6% were married while 14.5% were unmarried and 1.8% were divorcees. Majority of patients (81.8%) had income less than RM4000. The common risk factors of young adults with AMI presented to HTAA was smoking (80%) followed by increased waist circumference (54.5%), obesity (52.7%), hypertension (40%), hypercholesterolaemia (27.2%), family history of ischaemic heart disease (27.2%), and diabetes mellitus (21.8%). Conclusion: AMI in young adults almost exclusively occurs in male. Smoking and obesity were the most common risk factors in young adults with AMI in HTAA.

Background: Neonatal sepsis remains a leading cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity, diagnosis of which remains difficult due to variable presentations. With the increasing threat of antimicrobial resistance, it is important to identify perinatal risk factors which are associated with higher incidence of definite sepsis, to initiate empirical antibiotics, while awaiting blood culture reports.Methods: This was hospital based cross-sectional study done in SVPPGIP, Cuttack, Odisha during January 2019 to April 2019, enrolling all neonates  ≥37 weeks gestation and aged less than 72 hours, with suspected early onset sepsis. Neonates with TORCH infections, congenital anomalies, syndromic baby or with surgical conditions were excluded. After obtaining informed consent, blood culture was sent for all and their perinatal risk factors noted. Blood culture positive newborns were considered to have definite sepsis. Data was analysed with Chi-square test and percentages, using SPSS 18.Results: Among the 200 cases, incidence of definite sepsis was 26%. The most common risk factor was low birth weight and birth asphyxia. Majority (67%) had single or lesser risk factor and number of risk factors was significantly associated with definite sepsis. A significant association was seen between blood culture positivity with low birth weight (p=0.003), foul smelling liquor (p= 0.025), birth asphyxia (p 0.018) and premature rupture of membranes (p= 0.016). The combination of maternal fever and unclean vaginal examination was also significantly associated with the same.Conclusions: Protocols for initiating empiric antibiotics need to be formulated, taking into account the significant risk factors, in resource limited settings, to avoid resource and time wastage.

Tract Infections

BACKGROUND : Urinary tract infection is an infection of any part of the urinary system starting from the kidneys up to the urethra. It is a common infection with a prevalence of about 33%. If left unattended to urinary tract infections can lead to serious complications. The objective of the study was to assess which of the known risk factors for urinary tract infections are more common among pupils at Ndola Primary School and also assess which age group and sex have more risks. OBJECTIVE Assessing known/common risk factors for urinary tract infections METHODS : The study was a cross-sectional study and targeted primary school pupils aged between 7 and 12 years of age. Simple semi-structured questionnaires and a data collection form were used to collect data. The study also reviewed what other studies regarding urinary tract infections have found in other regions of Africa and a few from outside Africa then compared them to our findings RESULTS : Findings revealed that Lack of deworming was the commonest risk factor amongst pupils with a prevalence of 84%. The least common risk factor is lack of circumcision among boys 37.1%. Ignoring the urge to void had a prevalence of 72.1% while inadequate water intake, constipation and wiping from back to front had 71.2%, 66.9% and 63.9, respectively. The study also revealed that there was no association between age/sex and the risk factors for urinary tract infections except voiding which had a P value of 0.045. Furthermore, water and sanitation conditions existing at the school are very poor and below standard. Pupil toilet ratio is 1:166 and 1:191 for boys and girls, respectively CONCLUSIONS The study showed that most pupils are exposed to the risks factors for urinary tract infections with the commonest risk being lack of deworming and the least being lack of circumcision. There is great need to enhance efforts to improve sensitization by coming up with strategies to reach as many pupils as possible and organize workshops and training programs to assist teachers involved in health education in schools. The number of toilets should be increased to improve hygiene conditions existing at the school.

Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental condition, which is characterized by cognitive, behavioral, and social dysfunction. Their onset occurs in early childhood and during this period, there are various factors associated with autism risk. Hence,the present study was undertaken to determine the prevalence of various perinatal risk factors and its association with ASD in children. Methods: This was a retrospective study, included 200 cases of ASD over 5 years registered in pediatric neurodevelopment clinic at TN Medical College and BYL Nair Hospital, Mumbai. Study population divided in two groups- cases of ASD with perinatal risk factor and cases of ASD without perinatal risk factor. The prevalence of various perinatal risk factors in children with different grades of ASD calculated. Results: Based on ISAA score 149(74.5%) cases had mild autism and 51(25.5%) cases had moderate autism. The prevalence of various perinatal risk factors in children with different grades of ASD was found to be 79.5%(159/200). Pregnancy induced hypertension, bad obstetric history in mother were signicant risk factor for ASD. Lower segment caesarian section as mode of delivery was risk factor found to be associated more with mild form of autism, but statistically signicant association was found with vacuum delivery. We observed prematurity, low birth weight (LBW) and neonatal seizures as signicant risk factor, which may have contribution towards pathogenesis of ASD. Conclusion: The awareness between pediatrician and obstetrician about association of perinatal risk factors and ASD will denitely add to prevention and timely intervention of high risk patients.

Group B

Group B streptococcus (GBS) is a leading cause of serious neonatal infections. Maternal GBS colonization is associated with early- and late-onset neonatal disease (EOD/LOD). In Greece, a screening-based strategy is recommended, in which concurrent vaginal-rectal cultures should be obtained between 36 0/7 and 37 6/7 weeks’ gestation. We sought to examine the level of adherence to the GBS screening guidelines and estimate the prevalence of GBS colonization among pregnant women. Although in Greece the screening-based strategy is followed, we also examined known EOD risk factors and linked them to GBS colonization. A cross-sectional study of 604 women postpartum in three hospitals and maternity clinics was conducted. Following written informed consent, data were collected via a short self-completed questionnaire and review of patients’ records. In 34.6% of the enrolled pregnant women, no culture had been taken. Of the remaining, 12.8% had proper vaginal-rectal sample collections. The overall maternal colonization rate was 9.6%. At least one risk factor for EOD was identified in 12.6% of participants. The presence of risk factors was associated with positive cultures (p = 0.014). The rate of culture collection did not differ between women with or without an EOD risk factor. Adherence to a universal screening of pregnant women with vaginal-rectal cultures was poor. Despite probable underestimation of GBS carrier status, almost 1 in 10 participants were GBS positive during pregnancy. Screening of women with risk factors for EOD should, at least, be prioritized to achieve prevention and prompt intervention of EOD.
