Stunting is still a nutritional problem for the community both at national and international levels. long and low birth weight history in is one of the risk factors of stunting. This research identifies whether there is an effect of continuity of care on length and birth weight. So that you can get a way to prevent stunting as early as possible. This research was conducted in Rejoyoso Village with a population of mothers who have babies aged 0-6 months, with a retrospective approach and the source of research data is the maternat book record. The research data were analyzed by chi square, and the result of birth length x2 count 5,605> x2 table 3,841 and the result of birth weight x2 count 5,029> x2 table 3,841. So the interpretation obtained from each variable is rejecting H0 or there is a continuity of care effect on length and birth weight

Abstract Background Childhood stunting (low height-for-age) still remains a global health problem because it increases the risk of disturbances in growth and development as well as mortality. The prevalence of stunting in Bali is 32.5%, with the highest in Gianyar District at 41%. However, little is known about the risk factors of stunting children in Gianyar. Objective  To investigate the risk factors of stunting in children aged 24-59 months in Gianyar. Methods  This cross-sectional study involved 166 children, collected consecutively, aged 24-59 months, who visited the integrated health posts in 13 community health centers in Gianyar District, Bali from September to November 2016. Stunting is defined as -2SD below the WHO height-for-age z-score (HAZ), according to sex. Statistical analyses were done with Chi-square and multivariate logistic regression tests. Results Of 166 subjects, 37 (22.3%) children were stunted. Multivariate analysis revealed that low paternal education (AOR 2.88; 95%CI 1.10 to 7.55; P=0.031), maternal height less than 150 cm (AOR 7.64; 95%CI 2.03 to 28.74; P=0.003), high risk maternal age (AOR 4.24; 95%CI 1.56 to 11.49; P= 0.005), low birth weight (AOR 5.09; 95%CI 1.03 to 25.31; P=0.047), and low birth length (AOR 9.92; 95%CI 1.84 to 53.51; P=0.008) were strongly associated with stunting. Conclusion  Risk factors for stunting in children are low paternal education, maternal height less than 150 cm, high risk maternal age, low birth weight, and low birth length.

<p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><p><em><strong>Background</strong>: Stunting reflects a process of failure to reach linear growth potential as a result of suboptimal health or nutrition conditions. One of causal factors of stunting is inadequate of quality and quantity of complementary foods.</em></p><p><em><strong>Objectives</strong>: To identify complementary feeding practices such as introduction age of complementary foods, dietary diversity, and meal frequency as risk factors of stunting among children aged 6-23 months in Sedayu Subdistrict, Bantul, Yogyakarta.</em></p><p><em><strong>Methods</strong>: Study design was case-control with ratio (1:1). The study used both quantitative methods as well as case control design and qualitative through interview. Cases were children aged 6-23 months who had length for age z-score &lt;-2SD. Controls were children aged 6-23 months who had length for age z-score ≥-2SD who live adjacent to the case.

ABSTRACT   Low birth weight (LBW) infants with birth weight is less than 2500 grams, regardless of gestational age. Statistically showed 90 % incidence of LBW obtained in developing countries with a mortality rate 35 times higher tinggi.Di South Sumatra Province Infant Mortality Rate ( IMR ) is 29 per 1,000 live births. In Palembang BARI hospitals incidence of LBW in 2013 amounted to 317 cases . The purpose of this study is to determine is there a relationship between the factors of age, education, and parity with the incidence of Low Birth Weight in Palembang BARI hospitals in 2013. This study used survey method crosss sectional analytic approach. The study population was all women who gave birth and was admitted to hospital obstetrics Palembang BARI installations in 2013 amounted to 901. This research was conducted in February 2014. Samples were taken with a random sampling method sistematic. Analyze data using statistical test Chi - Square. Results of univariate analysis of this study showed that 193 (69.4 %) of the respondents had low birth weight, and 85 (30.6 %) respondents had BBLN. 63 (22.7 %) of respondents with a high risk of maternal age and 215 (77.3 %) of respondents with a low risk of maternal age. 157 (56.5 %) respondents with low education mothers and 121 (43.5 %) of respondents with higher education mothers. 48 (17.3 %) respondents with high parity mothers and 230 (82.7 %) respondents with low parity mothers. So the bivariate analysis showed no significant association between maternal age with the incidence of LBW with P value = 0.035, no significant association between education and the incidence of LBW with P value = 0.006, and no significant relationship between the incidence of low birth weight with parity P value = 0.041. It is recommended for health care workers (midwives) hospital in order to be used as material information regarding the occurrence of LBW and as an input as well as the evaluation of success in good health or when needed to do counseling and care of LBW, especially to mothers who give birth to low birth weight baby.   ABSTRAK Berat badan lahir rendah (BBLR) adalah bayi dengan berat lahir kurang dari 2500 gram tanpa memandang masa gestasi. Secara statistik menunjukkan 90% kejadian BBLR didapatkan di negara berkembang dengan angka kematiannya 35 kali lebih tinggi.Di Propinsi Sumatera Selatan Angka Kematian Bayi (AKB) sebesar 29 per 1.000 kelahiran hidup. Di RSUD Palembang BARI Tahun 2013 angka kejadian BBLR berjumlah 317 kasus. Tujuan Penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui adakah hubungan antara faktor umur, pendidikan, dan paritas dengan kejadian Berat Badan Lahir Rendah di RSUD Palembang BARI Tahun 2013. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode survey analitik dengan pendekatan crosss sectional. Populasi penelitian ini adalah semua ibu yang melahirkan dan dirawat inap di instalasi kebidanan RSUD Palembang BARI Tahun 2013 berjumlah 901. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan Februari 2014. Sampel penelitian diambil dengan metode sistematic random sampling. Analisa data menggunakan uji statistik Chi – Square. Hasil penelitian analisis univariat ini menunjukkan bahwa 193 (69,4%) responden mengalami BBLR, dan 85 (30,6%) responden mengalami BBLN. 63 (22,7%) responden dengan umur ibu resiko tinggi dan 215 (77,3%) responden dengan umur ibu resiko rendah. 157 (56,5%) responden dengan ibu pendidikan rendah dan 121 (43,5%) responden dengan ibu pendidikan tinggi. 48 (17,3%) reponden dengan ibu paritas tinggi dan 230 (82,7%) responden dengan ibu paritas rendah. Sehingga analisa bivariat menunjukkan ada hubungan yang bermakna antara umur ibu dengan kejadian BBLR dengan P value = 0,035, ada hubungan yang bermakna antara pendidikan dengan kejadian BBLR dengan P value = 0,006 dan ada hubungan yang bermakna antara paritas dengan kejadian BBLR dengan P value = 0,041. Disarankan bagi petugas kesehatan (bidan) rumah sakit agar dapat dijadikan sebagai bahan informasi mengenai terjadinya BBLR dan sebagai bahan masukan serta evaluasi keberhasilan dalam pelayanan kesehatan yang baik atau bila perlu dilakukannya penyuluhan serta asuhan  tentang BBLR khususnya kepada ibu yang melahirkan Bayi dengan BBLR.

Abstract Background Globally, 15 million neonates are born prematurely every year, over half in low income countries (LICs). Premature and low birth weight neonates have a higher risk of intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH). There are minimal data regarding IVH in sub-Saharan Africa. This study aimed to examine the incidence, severity and timing of and modifiable risk factors for IVH amongst low-birth-weight neonates in Uganda. Methods This is a prospective cohort study of neonates with birthweights of ≤2000 g admitted to a neonatal unit (NU) in a regional referral hospital in eastern Uganda. Maternal data were collected from interviews and medical records. Neonates had cranial ultrasound (cUS) scans on the day of recruitment and days 3, 7 and 28 after birth. Risk factors were tabulated and are presented alongside odds ratios (ORs) and adjusted odds ratios (aORs) for IVH incidence. Outcomes included incidence, timing and severity of IVH and 28-day survival. Results Overall, 120 neonates were recruited. IVH was reported in 34.2% of neonates; 19.2% had low grade (Papile grades 1–2) and 15% had high grade (Papile grades 3–4). Almost all IVH (90.2%) occurred by day 7, including 88.9% of high grade IVH. Of those with known outcomes, 70.4% (81/115) were alive on day 28 and survival was not associated with IVH. We found that vaginal delivery, gestational age (GA) < 32 weeks and resuscitation in the NU increased the odds of IVH. Of the 6 neonates who received 2 doses of antenatal steroids, none had IVH. Conclusion In this resource limited NU in eastern Uganda, more than a third of neonates born weighing ≤2000 g had an IVH and the majority of these occurred by day 7. We found that vaginal birth, earlier gestation and need for resuscitation after admission to the NU increased the risk of IVH. This study had a high rate of SGA neonates and the risk factors and relationship of these factors with IVH in this setting needs further investigation. The role of antenatal steroids in the prevention of IVH in LICs also needs urgent exploration.

Objective Low birth weight (LBW) infants (<2,500 g) continued to be a global health problem because of the associated short- and long-term adverse outcomes. The study aimed to determine the prevalence, risk factors, and short-term outcomes of term LBW infants Study Design A prospective and case–control study. All infants born consecutively from September 1, 2018 to August 31, 2019 were included. Cases, term LBW infants, were 1:1 matched to controls, appropriate for gestational age (AGA) term infants. Major congenital or chromosomal anomalies and multiple pregnancies were excluded. Results The prevalence of term LBW in the studied period was 4.8%. Mothers of term LBW infants had significantly lower body mass index (p = 0.05), gained less weight (p = 0.01), had a history of previous LBW (p = 0.01), and lower monthly income (p = 0.04) compared with mothers of term AGA infants even after adjustment for confounders. A nonsignificant higher number of term LBW infants needed NICU admission, while their need for phototherapy was deemed significant. Conclusion We identified nutritional and socioeconomic maternal factors that are significantly associated with LBW infants and should be targeted during antenatal visits to improve neonatal outcomes.

Background: Placenta previa refers to the presence of placental tissue that extends over the internal cervical os.  Placenta previa is linked to maternal hypovolemia, anaemia, and long hospital stay and with prematurity, low birth weight, low APGAR score in newborn. So it is very important to identify the condition at an early date to warn the condition thereby reducing the maternal and foetal morbidity and mortality. The present study was aimed to estimate the prevalence of PP, its associated predisposing risk factors and maternal morbidity, mortality and the perinatal outcome.Methods: A prospective observational study for two years was conducted at a tertiary care hospital. Pregnant mothers with >28 weeks of age with H/o ante partum haemorrhage were screened for placenta previa, confirmed by ultra sonography and included in the study. Clinical history, obstetric examination was done and followed up till the delivery. Maternal and foetal outcomes were recorded. Data analyzed by using SPSS version 20.Results: 1.4% incidence of PP was noted, mean age of group was 29.17±1.6 years. Age group of 21-30 years, multiparity Gravida 2-4, previous history of caesarean section and less number of ante natal checkups were significant risk factors and LSCS was most common outcome. Prematurity, low birth weight and APGAR <7 score for 1 minute was common foetal outcomes.Conclusions: Our study strongly suggests foetal surveillance programmes in cases of placenta previa. Measures should be made to bring awareness about PP, in urban slums and to increase medical checkups regularly. Making USG mandatory during every ANC and referral of cases of PP to tertiary care centres would definitely reduce the chances of morbidity and mortality.

Abstract Background Ghana did not meet the Millennium Development Goal 4 of reducing child mortality by two-thirds and may not meet SDG (2030). There is a need to direct scarce resources to mitigate the impact of the most important risk factors influencing high neonatal deaths. This study applied both spatial and non-spatial regression models to explore the differential impact of environmental, maternal, and child associated risk factors on neonatal deaths in Ghana. Methods The study relied on data from the Ghana Demographic and Health Surveys (GDHS) and the Ghana Maternal Health Survey (GMHS) conducted between 1998 and 2017 among 49,908 women of reproductive age and 31,367 children under five (GDHS-1998 = 3298, GDHS-2003 = 3844, GDHS-2008 = 2992, GDHS-2014 = 5884, GMHS-2017 = 15,349). Spatial Autoregressive Models that account for spatial autocorrelation in the data at the cluster-level and non-spatial statistical models with appropriate sampling weight adjustment were used to study factors associated with neonatal deaths, and a p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results Population density, multiple births, smaller household sizes, high parity, and low birth weight significantly increased the risk of neonatal deaths over the years. Among mothers who had multiple births, the risk of having neonatal deaths was approximately four times as high as the risk of neonatal deaths among mothers who had only single birth [aRR = 3.42, 95% CI: 1.63–7.17, p < 0.05]. Neonates who were perceived by their mothers to be small were at a higher risk of neonatal death compared to very large neonates [aRR = 2.08, 95% CI: 1.19–3.63, p < 0.05]. A unit increase in the number of children born to a woman of reproductive age was associated with a 49% increased risk in neonatal deaths [aRR = 1.49, 95% CI: 1.30–1.69, p < 0.05]. Conclusion Neonatal mortality in Ghana remains relatively high, and the factors that predisposed children to neonatal death were birth size that were perceived to be small, low birth weight, higher parity, and multiple births. Improving pregnant women’s nutritional patterns and providing special support to women who have multiple deliveries will reduce neonatal mortality in Ghana.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of low birth weight and other perinatal risk factors in children diagnosed with neurodevelopmental disorders. This is one of the first studies in the Arabian Gulf region focused on the contribution of these factors toward the development of various disorders such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, and other mental disorders. This descriptive study was based on qualitative data analysis. We reviewed retrospective information from the electronic medical records of 692 patients in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The prevalence of low birth weight in children with mental disorders was significantly higher as compared to the general population (16% vs 6% respectively). Furthermore, other risk factors, including high birth weight and preterm birth were noted to have a significant association with neurodevelopmental disorders. Future research on the impact of perinatal risk factors will contribute to advancement of early intervention guidelines.
