Abstract Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) during pregnancy is associated with adverse health outcomes for the mother and her unborn baby. Whereas the literature on IPV in the general population is extensive, little is known about IPV among pregnant teenagers especially in resource limited settings. This study determined the prevalence and factors associated with IPV among pregnant teenagers attending antenatal care clinics (ANC) in Lira District, Northern Uganda. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of 310 pregnant teenagers attending ANC at Lira regional referral hospital and Ogur health center IV. Eligible teenagers were recruited consecutively until the required sample size was accrued. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire. IPV was determined using the Revised Conflict Tactile Scale (CTS2) screening tool. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify factors associated with IPV during pregnancy while considering potential confounding factors. Results: The overall prevalence of IPV among pregnant teenagers was 40.6% [95% CI: 35.13-46.34]. The prevalence of psychological violence was 37.1%, [95% CI: 31.70-42.74]; sexual assault 29%, [95% CI: 24.04-34.43] and physical violence was 24.8%, [95% CI: 20.13-30.04]. Partner alcohol intake (OR=5.00, 95%CI: 2.87-8.71, P =0.000); polygamy (OR=2.80, 95%CI: 1.49-5.23, p=0.001); and inability to make major decision in the home by the teenage mother (OR=2.42, 95%CI: 1.29-4.54: P=0.006); were independently associated with IPV during pregnancy. Conclusion: About 4 in 10 of pregnant teenagers in Lira district, Northern Uganda experience IPV. This is higher than what has been reported in the general population of pregnant women in Uganda. Teenagers were more likely to experience IPV if they were in a polygamous relationship, were unable to make major decisions in the home and had an alcoholic partner. IPV screening and counselling should be part of the routine antenatal care package. Key words; Intimate partner violence, teenage pregnancy, factors associated.

Baseline Characteristics

Background: Hyponatremia is associated with unfavorable outcomes in many cases. The mainstay of hyponatremia treatment depends on its symptoms and etiology. However, etiologies, clinical manifestations, and factors associated with severe symptomatic hyponatremia have been rarely reported. Objective: To analyze and report etiologies, clinical manifestations, and factors associated with severe symptomatic hyponatremia. Materials and Methods: In the present cross-sectional study, the authors enrolled hospitalized patients with hyponatremia who had consulted a nephrologist between October 1, 2017, and October 31, 2018. Their baseline characteristics and clinical manifestations were recorded. Etiologies were confirmed by the attending nephrology staff. Factors associated with severe symptomatic hyponatremia were evaluated using logistic regression analysis. Results: One hundred patients were included in this study. The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis (SIAD), hypovolemia, and hydrochlorothiazide use were the leading hyponatremia etiologies. Hyponatremia etiologies differed between patients with community-acquired hyponatremia (n=50) and those with hospital-associated hyponatremia (n=50). Patients with communityacquired hyponatremia were older, presented with a higher frequency of severe symptomatic hyponatremia, and showed lower SNa-levels. Low SNa-levels were significantly associated with severe symptomatic hyponatremia (p=0.014). Conclusion: Hyponatremia remains an important health problem. SIAD, hypovolemia, and hydrochlorothiazide use are among the leading etiologies of hyponatremia. Low SNa-levels are associated with severe symptomatic hyponatremia; thus, physicians should pay close attention to low SNa-levels in hospitalized patients.
