ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to know about the risk factors of malnutrition and the incidence of risk factors among known cases of malnutrition admitted in tertiary care hospitals of Peshawar. METHODOLOGY: A descriptive cross-sectional study was done. Study was conducted in tertiary care hospitals of Peshawar from March 2019 to July 2019. Study included 100 patients of protein calorie malnutrition less than five years of age. Internationally recognized Gomez classification was used to label patient as malnourished. Risk factors of primary malnutrition including socioeconomic status, ignorance of weaning, poverty, lack of immunization and primary care, maternal illiteracy and risk factors of secondary malnutrition including infections, congenital diseases, malabsorptive disorders and metabolic disorders were assessed. Data was collected through a questionnaire. Tables and graphs were used to determine the frequency of risk factors for protein calorie malnutrition. RESULTS: Among 100 patients of PCM 59 were male and 41 were females. After assessment of both genders, risk factors that show close association with protein calorie malnutrition were low socioeconomic status, maternal illiteracy, lack of family planning, poor weaning and repeated infections. Among these risk factors the most frequently observed risk factors for protein calorie malnutrition were low socioeconomic status and repeated infections. CONCLUSION: Low socioeconomic condition and repeated infections are the leading cause of protein calorie malnutrition. KEYWORDS: Malnutrition, Gomez Classification, Frequency, Risk Factors

Iron deficiency anemia refers to the anemia caused by insufficient iron stores within the body. The main cause of anemia in obstetrics is iron deficiency, which has a worldwide prevalence estimated between 20%–80% and constitutes mainly female population.  Objective: To find out the determinants of iron deficiency anemia amongst pregnant women visiting Tertiary Care Hospitals, Lahore. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Lahore. A sample of 245 pregnant female patients was selected through non-probability convenient sampling technique. Data were collected with the pre-tested questionnaires. SPSS version 21.0 was used for data analysis. Results: Amongst social determinants, socioeconomic status had a signifcant effect on iron defciency anemia; as 82% women belonged to low socioeconomic status. Among dietary determinants, less consumption of red meat was a major factor affecting IDA as 95% women were not consuming red meat more than two times a day thus contributing to overall iron defciency. Amongst clinical factors, lack of thorough clinical checkup before conception was a major factor as 79% women did not have regular clinical checkup before pregnancy. Conclusions: Major determinants linked with IDA were dietary habits and practices such as preferring vegetables over meat, less overall consumption of red meat and excessive consumption of tea and coffee. Other determinants affecting IDA include low socioeconomic status, little or no gap between pregnancies and lack of knowledge and education concerning dietary practices during pregnancy.

Background Sleep disorders in infants can cause developmental problems, suboptimal growth, behavioral disorders, fatigue, irritability, impulsiveness, and poor mother-infant bonding. Objective To evaluate possible risk factors for sleep disorders in infants. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in healthy infants aged 3-6 months. Subjects were selected using proportional random sampling from four different primary healthcare facilities in Manado, North Sulawesi. Their parents completed the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire. Sleep disorder was defined as the presence of one or more conditions including sleep duration less than 9 hours at night (from 19.00 until 07.00), waking up at night (from 22.00 until 06.00) more than 3 times, and more than 1 hour waking at night. Results Of 112 subjects, 58 (51.8%) were male. Subjects’ mean age was 4.21 (SD 0.829) months and 76 (67.86%) experienced sleep disorders. Sleep disorders had significant associations with low socioeconomic status (OR 17; 95%CI 3.8 to 75.8), middle school or lower maternal education (OR 44.5; 95%CI 9.8 to 202), non-supine sleeping position (OR 8.8; 95%CI 1.9 to 39.7), parental use of electronic devices (OR 156.2; 95%CI 35.1 to 692.9), and non-exclusive breastfeeding (OR 85.2; 95%CI 21.1 to 344.2). Correlative analyses also revealed that electronic media usage had the strongest association with sleep disorders, followed by breastfeeding pattern, maternal education, socioeconomic status, and sleeping position ( 0.839, 0.771, 0.624, 0.433, and 0.309, respectively).  However, there were no significant correlations upon  multivariate analysis. Conclusion Parental use of electronic media before sleeping is the strongest risk factor for sleep disorders among infants, followed by non-exclusive breastfeeding pattern, low maternal education, low socioeconomic status, and non-supine sleeping position. However, none of these correlations were significant upon multivariate analysis, this show that all these factors influence sleep together

Abstract: Acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN) is a part of acute nephritic syndrome characterized by gross hematuria, edema, hypertension, and renal insufficiency. This APSGN is common in children, caused by infection of Streptococcus β-hemoliticus group A nephritogenic strain, and 97% of cases were in developing countries including Indonesia. This study was aimed to obtain the risk factors of APSGN and their association with APSGN. This was a retrospective descriptive study with a cross sectional design. Samples were medical record data of Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado during the period of January 2013-October 2017. There were 67 samples in this study consisted of 48 (71.6%) cases of APSGN and 19 (25.3%) cases without APSGN. The bivariate analysis found five variables related to APSGN incidence, as followed: male gender (P =0.005), age ≥5 years (P=0.000), low socioeconomic status (P=0.000), good nutrition (P =0.000), and rainy season (P=0.005). Parents’ education was not related to APSGN incidence. Conclusion: The risk factors of APSGN in children were male gender, age ≥5 years, low socioeconomic status, good nutritional status, and rainy season.Keywords: APSGN, risk factors, childrenAbstrak: Glomerulonefritis akut pasca streptokokus (GNAPS) adalah bagian dari sindrom nefrotik akut (SNA) yang ditandai dengan gross hematuria, edema, hipertensi, dan insufisiensi ginjal. Gangguan ini sering terjadi pada anak-anak, disebabkan oleh infeksi kuman Streptococcus β-hemolyticus group A strain nephritogenic, dan 97% kasus terjadi di negara berkembang termasuk Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor risiko GNAPS dan hubungan faktor risiko tersebut dengan kejadin GNAPS. Jenis peneltiian ialah deskriptif retrospektif dengan desain potong lintang. Pengambilan sampel menggunakan data rekam medik RSUP Prof. R. D. Kandou Manado periode Januari 2013-Oktober 2017. Terdapat 67 sampel terdiri dari 48 (71,6%) kasus GNAPS dan 19 (25,3%) kasus yang tidak mengalami GNAPS. Berdasarkan analisis bivariat di temukan 5 varibel yang berhubungan dengan kejadian GNAPS yaitu jenis kelamin laki-laki P=0,005), usia ≥5 tahun (P=0,000), status sosial ekonomi rendah (P=0,000), gizi baik (P=0,000), dan musim hujan (P=0,005). Faktor risiko yang tidak berhubungan dengan kejadian GNAPS ialah pendidikan orang tua (P=0,20). Simpulan: Faktor risiko GNAPS pada anak ialah jenis kelamin laki-laki, usia ≥5 tahun, status sosial ekonomi rendah, status gizi, dan musim hujan.Kata Kunci: GNAPS, faktor risiko, anak
