Objective: To assess the correlation of birth weight with other anthropometric variables and their appropriateness in prediction and detection of low birth weight babies. Methodology: It was a hospital-based cross-sectional observational study, conducted over 100 newborn babies within 24 hours of their birth. Birth weight and other anthropometric variables were recorded and analyzed with statistical package for social science (SPSS-17) and Student’s t-test, Chi-squared (?2), ANOVA and Pearson correlation tests were done to test the hypothesis and level of significance was set as p <0.05. Result: All the anthropometric variables were well correlated with birth-weight, irrespective of gestational age (p<0.01). The highest correlation was found with chest circumference (r = 0.962), while the lowest correlation was observed with calf circumference (r 0.923). Conclusion: All anthropometric variables except calf circumference can be considered as appropriate indicators for identifying neonates require special attention and intervention for low birth weight (LBW) where weighing machine or facilities for ultrasonography is not readily available.

Low Birth Weight Babies

Low birth weight babies are babies born with a weight less than 2500 grams. LBW (low birth weight) affects the high mortality rate in infants and is at risk of experiencing obstacles in growth and development. LBW is generally caused due to lack of nutrition and nutritional needs from mother to fetus while pregnant women aged less than 20 years and more than 35 years have the risk of giving birth to LBW. The purpose of this study is to determine the risk factors that cause LBW based on maternal age and nutritional status. The research method used was observational with a cross sectional study approach. The sampling technique was random sampling at the Regional Haji Makassar General Hospital in the January to July 2015 period with a total sample of 65 people. Analysis using the Chi Square Test. The results showed that there was a relationship between maternal age, nutritional status of LBW with a value (p value = 0.00 <α = 0.05). Maternal age and nutritional status are factors that influence low birth weight where the results of the study indicate that there is a relationship between maternal age and nutritional status on the incidence of low birth weight. To reduce the incidence of low birth weight, it is necessary to increase counseling about the causes of low birth weight babies by health workers, especially midwives to pregnant women to prevent the risk of low birth weight birth.

Background: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a vaso-proliferative retinopathy which occurs mostly in premature babies. The pathological change in ROP is peripheral retinal neovascularisation which may regress completely or leave sequelae from mild myopia to bilateral total blindness. International classification of ROP helped in uniform documentation and staging of ROP. In India, the incidence of ROP is between 38 and 51.9 p.c among low-birth-weight infants. Aim & Objectives: To estimate the incidence of ROP among premature and / or low birth weight babies who were born and admitted to neonatal intensive care unit and attending neonatal follow-up clinic.Subjects and Methods:A hospital based, prospective analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in Department of Pediatrics at Shadan Institute of Medical Sciences, Teaching hospital and research center, Hyderabad, Telangana for a period of 6 months from 1st October 2018 to 31st March 2019. Prior to the study initiation, ethical clearance was obtained and written consent was taken from the parents of the respective babies. The study subjects included premature babies (less than or equal to 35 weeks of gestation) or low birth weight babies (less than or equal to 1500 grams). A predesigned, pre-tested, semi-structured proforma was used to collected the data. The data was collected, entered in Microsoft excel-2013 and analyzed using SPSS version-22 (trial). Data was presented in percentages, proportions and figures.Result:The ROP incidence in the study group was reported among 17.1 p.c of the study subjects.Conclusion:Low birth weight and prematurity are important risk factors for ROP.

Initiation Of Breastfeeding

Introduction: Breastfeeding is the best way of providing ideal food for the optimal growth and development of an infant. Early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF) within one hour of birth is one of the cost effective strategies to reduce neonatal mortality. The aim of the study was to find out the determinants of breastfeeding practice. Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted among 207 mothers who have child from birth to 12 months in Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Clinic of tertiary care referral hospital. The mothers for the study were selected using probability sampling technique. Variables were analysed using a multivariate logistic regression model to identify the determinants of EIBF. Results: The prevalence of EIBF in the study population was 47.3%. Caesarean delivery (AOR: 3.449, CI: 1.224-9.719, p = 0.019), mothers who have done more than one postnatal visit (AOR: 2.824, CI: 1.126-7.079, p = 0.027) and low birth weight babies (AOR: 7.973, CI: 1.571-40.465, p = 0.027) were more likely to delay initiation of breastfeeding. Conclusions: Less than half newborn receive breast milk within the first hour of birth. Mothers delivered by caesarean section, who have done more than two postnatal visit and low birth weight babies were more likely to delay initiation of breastfeeding. These are the major determinants of initiation of breastfeeding. Existing breastfeeding promotion program should be strengthened within the existing health care system.

Objective: To determine the obstetric, antenatal, natal and socio-economic factors affecting low birth weight (LBW) babies. Study design and setting: The cross-sectional study was conducted from February2019 till May2019 at Jinnah Medical College hospital Karachi. Methodology: The targeted population was 100 mothers who recently delivered their babies and were present in the hospital during postpartum period. Variables included obstetric history, maternal risk factors, socioeconomic status and education of parents. Weight of the neonates was noted by the doctors within 24 hours of birth. Data was analysed on SPSS version 21. Results: Variables having significant and positive influence on LBW were; age, activity and occupation of mother, age at first pregnancy, no. of pregnancies, maternal anemia. The 48% of low birth weight babies were present in mothers belonging to younger age group (18-20 years). The incidence of low birth weight increases with increased number of pregnancies, women with greater than 3 pregnancies had 18% of 1.6-2kg of weight of babies, 12% of 2.1-2.5kg of weight, 10% of 1.1- 1.5kg of weight. Mother’s with poor diet had 36% of 2.1-2.5kg of weight. Women with high activity during pregnancy having 53% of 1.6-2kg of weight babies. Regarding occupation 40% of housewife’s risks of 1.6-2kg weight of baby with p-value of <0.05 as activity during pregnancy was high. Conclusion: Factors like younger age women, multi-parity, increased physical activity maternal diet, anemia due to nutritional deficiencywere contributed to low birth weight babies

Abstract: Development is when ability and skill increased in the structure of more complex body functions in a regular pattern and can be predicted, as a result of maturation process. This study aimed to determine the factors that influence development delay in kindergartens. Methods: This was a descriptive analytic study with cross-sectional design. The samples were 94 children who met the inclusion criterias in Kindergarten built in East Passi sub-district at Bolaang Mongondow district, October-November 2014. The development assessed using KPSP, with mark ≤ 6 counted as delayed development progress. The data was analyzed using bivariate analysis with chi square statistic test. Results: Prenatal infections, nutritional status, breastfeed, health care, parents’ income, parental education and number of siblings do not have significant relation to child development delay where the value (p = 0.05). Child with low birth weight had 2.4 folds of the risk for development delay (IC 95%: 0.9 to 0.7; p = 0.042). Residential density had 3.8 folds of the risk for development delay (IC 95%: 0.8 to 17.6; p = 0.038). Conclusion: Low birth weight and residential density are related to the delay in child development.Keywords: development, low birth weight, residential density.Abstrak: Perkembangan adalah bertambahnya kemampuan dan keterampilan dalam struktur fungsi tubuh yang lebih kompleks dalam pola yang teratur dan dapat diramalkan, sebagai hasil proses pematangan.
