The present study has been carried out to find out the distribution of prenatal, perinatal and postnatal factors associated with autistic children. The study was conducted on 270 autistic children with age ranges of 3-10 years attending special schools in Dhaka city exclusively for autistic children during July ,2001 to July ,2012 .Mean age of mother was 31.78 SD± 5.94 years .Socio demographic characteristics showed 84% housewives, 37% educated up to masters level. Mean family monthly income was Tk.24,596 SD±11,464.Antenatal factors showed 42.2% mothers anemic,44.4% had H/O pre eclampsia,40% threatened abortion, 38.1% had gestational diabetes. Perinatal factors showed obstructed labor to be 64.4%.Post natal factors showed birth asphyxia to be 47.0% and neonatal jaundice 72.6% . The study showed a higher maternal age is significantly associated with autism.(p=0.007, RR=1.18,95% CI, 0.87- 1.60) and birth asphyxia is strongly associated with autism (p=0.001,OR=8.86 , 95% CI, 1.91-41.04) .The increasing prevalence of ASD`s indicates that it is multifactorial in which genetic, prenatal, social, developmental, nutritional and environmental factors play major roles.

Background: Meconium-stained amniotic fluid (MSAF) is a potential sign of fetal hypoxia as well as a potential toxin if the fetus aspirates with a gasping breath in utero or when it takes its first breaths following birth. Objective: To evaluate the outcome of neonates with meconium-stained amniotic fluid (MSAF). Material and Methods: This prospective observational study was carried out in the department of pediatrics of Gazi medical college Hospital, Khulna during one calendar year from 01 July 2016 to 30 June 2017. Maternal risk factors for MSAF, modes of delivery of neonates were recorded. All neonates born with MSAF were included in this study: they were shifted to neonatal high dependency unit for observation and monitoring as per the pediatrician’s advice. Neonatal outcomes like birth asphyxia, neonatal jaundice, aspiration pneumonia, septicemia, meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS), hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and death were observed and recorded. Result: A total of 157 babies were included during the study period. Modes of delivery of babies were: normal delivery 86(54.78%), caesarean section 48(30.57%) and instrumental delivery 23(14.65%). Maternal risk factors were postdated pregnancy 51(32.48%), previous caesarian section 20(12.74%), pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) 20(12.74%), premature rupture of membranes 18(11.46%), gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) 17(10.83%), intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) 14 (8.92%), cephalopelvic disproportion 9(5.73%) and anemia 8(5.10%). Outcome of babies were: 118(75.16%) babies were discharged without any complications, 10(6.37%) developed neonatal jaundice, 10(6.37%) meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS), 8(5.10%) birth asphyxia, 4(2.55%), aspiration pneumonia, 3(1.91%) hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), 2(1.27%) septicemia and 2(1.27%) baby died in early neonatal period.

Logistic Analysis

Background: Low birth weight (LBW) is a major risk factor for death and disease in the fetus and newborn infant. However, the study about LBW and maternal risk factors involved in Indonesia is still limited. Objective: The present study attempted to examine the association of maternal risk factors including mother’s age, mother and husband education, mother and husband occupation and wealth, ANC visit, desired pregnancy and obstetric complication toward the occurrence of low birth weight infant across region and family wealthy. Methods: This study employed the data from the national survey of Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS). The latest births from married women who gave birth within 2 years (2011 and 2012) preceding the IDHS were considered as sample selection. It was approximately 15,126 respondents. The predicted risks of low birth weight were estimated using multilevel logistic analysis. Results: Data were collected on 15,126 pregnant women who reported 10.2% were with LBW infants. When using the multilevel logistic analysis, the factors associated with LBW were maternal delivery-baby age, mother’s education, antenatal care and pregnancy complication at significant levels of 0.01. Conclusion: The prevalence of preterm infants in this study was quite high. Factors affecting LBW were maternal age, maternal education, ANC visits and pregnancy complication. The ANC visit of pregnant women is a potential and feasible activity to reduce the incidence of LBW.
