Background: Globally hypovitaminosis D is highly prevalent among all population unsparing pregnant mothers. Maternal hypovitaminosis has negative implications on growing fetus. In India, only limited data available on prevalence of neonatal vitamin D level. Hence this study was done to estimate the prevalence of cord blood vitamin D levels and its relation with anthropometric measurements in newborns.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in a tertiary care center on 30 newborns. Cord blood 25 OHD levels and anthropometric measurements were taken. Data were analyzed statistically.Results: Among 30 newborns, 10%, 43% and 46% of babies had vitamin D deficiency (<12 ng/ml), insufficiency and sufficiency respectively. 23% were low birth weight. 43% of low-birth-weight babies had statistically significant (p value<0.0001) hypovitaminosis D. No correlation found between vitamin D status and other anthropometric measurements.Conclusions: Prevalence of hypovitaminosis D has negative implications on birth weight which needs further studies.

Induced Hypertension

To explore the effect of pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) on neonatal birth weight and provide the necessary reference value for the maternal and children health service. A cross-sectional study was carried out in Shaanxi Province of China in 2013. And a total of 28 045 singleton live infants and their mothers were recruited using a stratified, multistage, probability-proportional-to-size sampling method. Among the 28 045 women of childbearing age surveyed, multiple linear regression and quantile regression analysis all showed that the birth weight of newborns whose mothers had suffered from PIH during pregnancy was significantly lower than those whose mothers had not suffered from PIH during pregnancy from very low to higher birth weight percentiles (q=0–0.85), an average decrease of 137.45 g (β=−137.45, t=−5.77 and p<0.001). When birth weight was at q=0.90–1.00 percentiles, there was no birth weight difference between two groups. The present cross-sectional study indicated that PIH had an effect of on neonatal birth weight. When pregnant women with PIH are identified then the healthcare professional initiates a closer supervision of their pregnancy in order to ameliorate the status of BP and provide a good intrauterine environment for the fetus. In addition, the gynecologists should admonish the pregnant women that their health is related to the health of their fetus, then gravidas may be more engaged to alert their physician and accept early or preventative interventions. And the healthcare professional should ask and be alert to the issues of hypertension during pregnancy.

Background In several provinces of Eastern Indonesia, themajority of births take place at home (60%) and are assisted bytraditional birth attendants. Most of these newborns do not havetheir birth weight recorded, due to lack of available weighing scalesor lack of skill to perform the measurement, especially in ruralareas. As such, an early iden tification oflow birth weight cases isneeded to prevent infan t morbidity and mortality.Objective To assess anthropometric measurements including calf,chest, and h ead circumferences as a method of choice for detectinglow birth weight, as substitute for actual weighing.Methods This cross-sectional study was performed at BanjarBarn, South Kalimantan, Indonesia, from January to March 2012.Subjects were full term, singleton, and live-born infants duringthe study period, and obtained from private clinics by a purposivesampling procedure. Calf, chest, and h ead circumferences weremeasured to identify the most suitable substitute for birth weightusing Pearson's correlation, ROC, sensitivity, and specificity.Results In this study, a correlation was shown between birthweight and all anthropometric measurements. Optimal calf,chest, and head circumference cutoff points to identify low birthweight infants were 10.3 cm, 30. 7 cm, and 3 1.2 cm, respectively.The area under the curves (AUC) showed good accuracy for allmeasuremen t types. Calf circumference had the closest estimatedtrue prevalence to the true prevalence (8.52% and 8.6%, respectively)compared to the other measurement types.Conclusion Calf circumference is the most suitable measurementas a substitute for birth weight, due to its estimated trueprevalence.

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) remains to be the most critical and frequent gastrointestinal disorder understood in neonatal intensive care units (NICU). The presented study was intended to assess the prevalence of NEC and associated factors among enteral Fed preterm and low birth weight neonates. Institution based retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 350 enteral Fed preterm and low birth weight neonates who were admitted at selected public hospitals of Addis Ababa from March 25/2020 to May 10/2020. The data were collected through neonates’ medical record chart review. A total of 350 participants were enrolled in to the study with the response rate of 99.43%. One hundred eighty-four (52.6%) of them were male. The majority 123 (35.1%) of them were (32 + 1 to 34) weeks gestational age. The prevalence of NEC was (25.4%) (n = 89, [95% CI; 21.1, 30.0]). Being ≤28 weeks gestational age (AOR = 3.94, 95% CI [2.67, 9.97]), being (28 + 1 to 32 weeks) gestational age (AOR = 3.65, 95% CI [2.21, 8.31]), birth weight of 1000 to 1499 g (AOR = 2.29, 95% CI [1.22, 4.33]), APGAR score ≤3 (AOR = 2.34, 95% CI [1.32, 4.16]), prolonged labor (AOR = 2.21, 95% CI [1.35, 6.38]), maternal chronic disease particularly hypertension (AOR = 3.2, 95% CI [1.70, 5.90]), chorioamnionitis (AOR = 4.8, 95% CI [3.9, 13]), failure to breath/resuscitated (AOR = 2.1, 95% CI [1.7, 4.4]), CPAP ventilation (AOR = 3.7, 95% CI [1.50, 12.70]), mixed milk (AOR = 3.58, 95% CI [2.16, 9.32]) were factors significantly associated with NEC. Finally, the prevalence of NEC in the study area was high. So that, initiating the programs that could minimize this problem is required to avoid the substantial morbidity and mortality associated with NEC.
