Nutritional Status Of Children

Stunting is a nutritional problem that hinders the growth process of toddlers. Toddler stunting has a negative impact that will last in the next life. According to UNICEF (2011), the nutritional status of children can be directly affected by factors, namely gender and low birth weight. Indirect factors, namely health status, infectious diseases/ Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI), diarrhea with low family income, parenting patterns, and not exclusive breastfeeding. The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between low birth weight, exclusive breastfeeding, family income, and infectious diseases with the incidence of stunting in toddlers aged 24-59 months in the Mangasa Health Center Work Area in 2020. This was a case control study involving a total of 30 stunted and non-stunded children in each. The independent variables were low birth weight breastfeeding exclusive, family income, and infectious diseases, while the dependent variable is stunting. The study results show that children with low birth weight were like to have stunting 5.7 times than normal birth weight (p=0.007). Similarly, children with formula and mixed feeding were likely to have stunting 5 times (p=0.015) than exclusively breastfed children. Poor family income and the presence of infectious disease were also contributed to stunting (OR= 7; p= 0.025, OR= 5.7, p= 0.007, respectively). In conclusion, the family income variable is the variable that has the most incidence of stunting among children aged 24 – 59 months.

Control Study

The association between birth weight and infant mortality from infectious diseases was investigated in a population-based case-control study in two urban areas in southern Brazil. All deaths of children, seven to 364 days of age, occurring in a year were studied and the parents of the 357 infants dying of an infectious cause were interviewed, as were the parents of two neighborhood control infants for each case. Low birth weight infants (<2,500 g) were found, after allowing for confounding factors, to be 2.3 (90% confidence interval = 1.6 to 3.4) times more likely to die of an infection than those of higher birth weight. The odds ratios were 2.0 (1.1 to 3.6) for deaths due to diarrhea, 1.9 (1.0 to 3.6) for respiratory infections, and 5.0 (1.3 to 18.6) for other infections. These estimates of the risks associated with low birth weight are considerably lower than those from studies in developed countries.

Background Infants who are breastfed receive natural protectionagainst certain infections. Despite the known benefits of exclusivebreastfeeding, many Indonesian mothers choose to supplementwith formula. There have been few Indonesian studies on theeffect of exclusive breastfeeding in reducing acute respiratoryinfections in low birth weight infants in their first four monthsof life.Objective To investigate the effect of exclusive breastfeeding inreducing the incidence of acute respiratory infections in low birthweight infants during their first four months of life.Methods We conducted a prospective cohort study on low birthweight babies in Sanglah Hospital, Denpasar. The total numberof subjects was 181. The incidence of acute respiratory infectionsduring the first 4 months of life and the duration of breast feedingwere assessed by questionnaires. Data was analyzed Mth Chisquare and logistic regression tests.Results Infants who were exclusively breastfed for 4 months hada lower risk of acute respiratory infection than those who were notexclusively breastfed (RR 0.07; 95% CI 0.03 to 0.14; P􀁄O.OOI).After adjustment for gestational age, parity, maternal nutritionalstatus, family size, smoke exposure, and history of atopy, infantswho were exclusively breastfed still had a lower risk for acuterespiratory infection than those who were not exclusively breastfed(RR 0.06; 95% CI 0.03 to 0.13; P 􀁄 0.001)Conclusion Exclusive breastfeeding reduced the risk of acuterespiratory infection in low birth weight infants in the first fourmonths after birth.

Objective: To determine the frequency of low birth weight in pregnant women with anemia. Methodology: This descriptive cross-sectional survey, was conducted at OMC Hospital, Jail Road, Lahore and Medicine Deptt. of Lahore General Hospital during March 2020 to November 2020. We included 320pregnant females with gestational ages between 30 to 36 weeks with hemoglobin level of <10g/dl and further classified as moderate anemia with (Hb levels 8-9.9g/dl) and in severe anemia for those having Hb 8g/dl. All cases with known systemic diseases/abnormalities like hemoglobinopathies (sickle cell anemia/thalassemia), diabetes, hypertension, smoking, renal problems, oligo/polyhydramnios were excluded from the study. The neonates were examined after the delivery is done with the help of pediatrician and all protocols for neonates assessment were followed. All findings were recorded, low birth weight was considered if the neonatal weight was <2500g. These neonates were followed until they are discharged from the hospital or mortality (if any). Routine informed consent was also obtained from the patients attendants to use their data in the study. Results: In our study, 32.5% of the cases were low birth weight whereas 67.5%(n=216) cases had normal birth weight. Conclusion: Frequency of low birth weight is higher in mothers presenting with anemia. Keywords: Maternal anemia, low birth weight, association

Background Pneumonia has been one of the serious problems for children under five in Indonesia. Imbalanced interactions among host factors, agents, and environments influence incidence of pneumonia. Objective To determine the risks of the host related to the incidence of pneumonia in children aged 3-59 months in Pediatrics Department, Dr. Soetomo General Hospital during 2011-2012. Methods This was a case control study on medical records of patients with respiratory infections in Pediatrics Department, Dr. Soetomo General Hospital. We grouped patients with pneumonia as the case group and patients with other respiratory infections as the control group. The data were statistically processed to calculate odds ratios and P values. Results There were 326 subjects reviewed, 163 in the case group and 163 in the control group. Host factors that increased the risk of pneumonia were: low birth weight (OR=3.10; 95%CI 1.34 to 6.86), inadequate exclusive breastfeeding (OR=1.7; 95%CI 1.09 to 2.64), malnutrition (OR=3.44; 95%CI 2.12 to 5.58) and incomplete immunization in a certain period of age (OR=2.70; 95%CI 1.72 to 4.24). Existed comorbidity was unrelated to the incidence of pneumonia (OR=1.53; 95%CI 0.86 to 2.71). Conclusion Low birth weight, inadequate exclusive breastfeeding, malnutrition, and incomplete immunization in a certain period of age increase the risk of pneumonia.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the serum levels of various antioxidants, namely, vitamin A and E, superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in the cord blood of term low birth weight (LBW) neonates who required delivery room resuscitation (DRR). Materials and Methods: This case control study included 37 term LBW neonates who needed DRR as cases and 44 term neonates as controls (15 term LBW and 29 term normal birth weight) who did not require resuscitation at birth. Neonates suffering from major congenital malformations, infection, or hemolytic disease were excluded. Standard methods were used to measure the levels of vitamin A, vitamin E, SOD, catalase, and GPx levels in the cord blood. Results: Vitamin A and E levels were significantly low in cases compared to term LBW controls as well as term normal birth weight controls. Levels of SOD, GPx, and catalase were comparable in different study groups. Conclusion: Our study shows that term LBW neonates requiring DRR had significantly low levels of vitamin A and E in their cord blood. This might compromise their ability to tolerate oxidative stress during DRR.

Hypertension In Children

Abstract Objectives Previous studies from the developed countries showed that children born very low birth weight have a higher risk of hypertension compared with that of the normal birth weight controls. However, studies regarding the prevalence of hypertension in such children from the developing countries are scarce. This study aimed to identify the perinatal and postnatal factors associated with hypertension in children born very low birth weight. Results Forty-six children aged ≥ 6 years from the VLBW cohort of Ramathibodi Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand underwent the ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. The prevalence of hypertension was 15.2% (7/46). The hypertension group had a significant higher BMI z-score at 3 years of age (0.90 ± 1.44 vs − 0.45 ± 1.47, p = 0.045) and a greater proportion of current obesity (42% vs 2.5%, p < 0.01) compared to those in the normotensive group. Multivariate analysis revealed that current obesity was associated with hypertension (OR 34.77, 95%CI 1.814–666.5). Among 36 children with normal office blood pressure, four children (11.1%) had high blood pressure uncovered by ABPM, called “masked hypertension”. Office systolic blood pressure at the 85th percentile was the greatest predictor for masked hypertension with a sensitivity of 75% and a specificity of 81.2%.

Health Situation

Background: Babies with a birth weight of less than 2500 grams, irrespective of the period of their gestation are termed as Low Birth Weight (LBW) babies. Despite consistent efforts to improve the quality of maternal and child health, more than twenty million low birth-weight (LBW) babies are born every year throughout the world. Though, the health situation of Nepal has improved substantially over the years, the low birth-weight (LBW) rate is still high. The objective of this study was to assess the proportion of low birth weight and identify the associated factors for low birth weight in a live born infant among the institutionally delivered newborns. Methods: A hospital based cross sectional study was conducted in Obstetrics and Gynaecology ward of Bharatpur hospital, Bharatpur, from 17th September to 4th October , 2012. Altogether 480 respondents were taken and respondents were mothers who had delivered newborns in Bharatpur hospital.Results: A total of 480 births occurred during the study period, of which 480 met the study criteria. Among which 9.4% were low birth weight and 90.6% were normal birth weight .Overall mean birth weight was found to be 2.96 kg. Out of total 9.4% newborns were weighing less than 2.50 kg and mean birth weight 2.96kg. Conclusions: This study suggests that there were several factors interplaying which lead to LBW babies; which are age of mother at delivery,weight gain by mother during pregnancy, short, low body mass index and hyperemesis gravidarum was the strongest predictor in this study.
