INTRODUCTION: Underweight is one of the most common forms of undernutrition suffered by children and has implications for both short and long term health problems. Characteristics of children, parents, and environment are factors affecting underweight in children, especially aged 24–59 months. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to find out the dominant factors affecting underweight in children aged 24–59 months in Java Island. METHODS: This cross-sectional study used secondary data from Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) 2014. There were 1,270 children aged 24–59 months who were involved in this study. We conducted univariate analysis, bivariate analysis using chi-square, and multivariate analysis using binary logistic regression. RESULTS: This study found that 20.2% of children in Java were underweight. Based on bivariate analysis, variables that significantly associated (p < 0.05) with underweight were low birth weight (LBW), acute respiratory infection (ARI), diarrhoea, frequency of eating milk and dairy products, parental education level, and underweight father. Furthermore, based on multivariate analysis, low consumption of milk and dairy products was the dominant factor in this study (OR = 1.80). CONCLUSION: Factors related to underweight can be used to determine appropriate prevention and treatment in community levels, such as by promoting a balanced nutrition program and healthy behaviour.

Introduction: Developing countries like India still depend on Replacement Donors (RD) for their blood requirements. Healthcare providers in India often face Replacement Blood Donation (RBD) denials in children especially in rural areas. Aim: To find reasons for RBD denials in children. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was done over six months at a tertiary care centre located in rural part of Northern India. Children requiring Blood Transfusion (BT) whose parents refused RBD were included in the study. Children were divided into three groups based on their age and data on various parameters were collected. Observation parameters included sex, birth order, number of siblings, disease for which admitted, duration between admission and need for transfusion, indication for transfusion, decision maker in the family, resistance to decision of denial by any other member of family, parental education, socio-economic status and reasons for denial. Data were analysed using SPSS software (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version 17.0, SPSS Inc, Chicago, Ill, USA). The p-values were computed for categorical variables using Chi-square (χ2) test. A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Out of 356 children requiring BT, parents and relatives of 130 children (36.51%) refused RBD. Of these 130 children, 84 were females and 46 were males with male-female ratio of 1:1.8. Females were more likely to be denied RBD (p-value=0.001). Of these 130 children, only 77 could be included in the study because of various reasons. Age of the study group ranged between 2 days to 15 years. Denials were significantly higher (p-value=0.0032) in children with 3rd or higher birth order. Little benefit in terms of life expectancy was the commonest reason for denials in neonates and was found statistically significant (p-value=0.00368). Fear of donation was the most common reason for denial in all the groups combined (38.9%). Considering themselves ineligible and religious beliefs were the other reasons for denials. Conclusion: RBD denial in children is common in India. Misconceptions, Illiteracy, poverty, sex discrimination and false beliefs are major contributory factors for denial.

Background: Diabetic macular edema (DME) characterized by deposition of hard exudates in central retina is now the leading cause of visual loss in persons with diabetes mellitus. Several studies have shown association between severity of retinal hard exudates and various components of serum lipid. The aim of this study is to estimate the proportion of severity of retinal hard exudates with risk factors like dyslipidemia, duration of diabetes, hypertension, HbA1c levels and microalbuminuria. Methods: A hospital based cross sectional study was done involving 242 diabetic retinopathy patients. After dilated fundus examination, severity of retinal hard exudates was graded by photographs with Topcon fundus camera using modified airlie house classification. These grades were divided into three groups. Group 1 (absent or minimal hard exudates) included patients with grade 0, 1 or 2 hard exudates; group 2 (hard exudates present), included patients with grade 3 or 4 hard exudates and group 3 (prominent hard exudates), patients with grade 5 hard exudates. Values of serum lipid profile, HbA1C and urine microalbumin were analysed in association with severity of retinal hard exudates.Results: Out of the 242 diabetic retinopathy patients, the male female ratio was 1:1 and the mean age was 59.8±7.4 years. There were 12% patients in group one, 52.5% in group two and 35.5% in group three. On univariate analysis, severity of hard exudates was significantly associated with serum cholesterol (p value<0.01), LDL (p value<0.01) triglycerides (p value<0.01), HbA1c (p value<0.01), systemic hypertension (p value<0.01) and urine microalbumin (p value=0.01). Conclusions: Severity of retinal hard exudates in diabetic retinopathy patients is significantly associated with risk factors like systemic hypertension, dyslipidemia, raised HbA1C levels and urine microalbumin.

Abstract Background and Aims Clinical practice guidelines recommend an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) as the preferred vascular access for hemodialysis and are associated with a lower incidence of morbidity and mortality. However, primary vascular access (AV) failure is not uncommon. Low-grade inflammation is present in ERCT. We identify the inflammatory parameters that influence the primary permeability of vascular access for hemodialysis. Method Cross-sectional study; We include all the AVs performed in the HGUCR. We evaluate the initial operation after the creation of the AV. Demographic variables (age, sex), aetiology of CKD and associated comorbidity were collected. Statistical analysis with SPSS 25.0. Categorical variables are expressed as percentages and are compared using the Chi2 Test. Quantitative variables are expressed as mean ± standard deviation and the t-student was used to compare them. We performed a multivariate analysis to determine those factors involved in the primary failure of the VA. Statistical significance for a value of p <0.05. Results 600 VA performed on 466 patients were reviewed between October 2009 and December 2019. 492 autologous VA (86.8%) and 75 prosthetic VA (13.2%) were performed. The mean age of the patients was 65.3 ± 14.2 years and 66.2% were male. The most frequent etiology of CKD was diabetic nephropathy (29.9%), followed by non-affiliated (18%) and glomerulonephritis (16.5%). 90.8% of the patients had arterial hypertension (HT), diabetes mellitus (DM) 48%. 77.2% of AV presented primary permeability. In the univariate analysis using Chi2 and T student, statistical age (p = 0.017), HT (p = 0.002), statin treatment (p = 0.002), antiplatelet therapy (p = 0.001), low ferritin levels (p = 0.011) and PCR (p = 0.019). When performing a multivariate analysis, the high CRP figures (OR: 0.64 95% CI 0.42-0.98 p = 0.043) and ferritinemia (OR: 1.04 95% CI 1.01-1.06 p = 0.013) are predictive factors of primary AV failure. Conclusion In our study, high CRP decreases the probability of primary functioning of AVFs by 36% and elevated ferritin levels are predictors of primary failure after adjusting for age and sex in the multivariate model.

AbstractBackground: Earthquake is unpredictable, making it impertinent for all components of society to be prepared to handle, especially elementary school children. During earthquakes, students often experience panic, endangering their lives. It is, therefore, crucial to identify the factors affecting students' preparedness for disasters (LIPI, 2006).Objectives: This study aimed to determine the factors related to the preparedness of students in disaster prepared schools (DPS) to reduce earthquake risks in Denpasar City, Bali.Methods: This study used a descriptive correlative analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample in this study were all students of Public Elementary Schools (PES) and private schools (PS) in grades 5 and 6 whose institutions have implemented DPS, and the location of the school is in the city of Denpasar. Students chosen as the research samples received a brief explanation of the research process on the first page of the electronic questionnaire and parents can give consent to be research respondents when they approve their child to be a research sample. The instruments used in this study were 50, where this questionnaire was a standard questionnaire modified by researchers from LIPI (2006), Amri et al.,(2017), Hirano et al., (2011), and Davis & Izadkhah (2008). The univariate analysis identifies each research variable, namely disaster preparedness factors (knowledge, attitudes, infrastructure and CIE) and student preparedness in DPS. The bivariate analysis used is the Gamma test when it meets the requirements. Multivariate analysis in this study used the logistic regression analysis.Results: The results of this study show that Communication, Information and Education (CIE) has a robust correlation with earthquake preparedness (r = 0.761 and p-value = 0.000). CIE of DPS schools that are not good enough will lead to low preparedness of DPS students in earthquake disaster management by nine times.Conclusion: Knowledge, attitudes, infrastructure and CIE have a relationship with disaster preparedness school preparedness in the city of Denpasar, where low CIE can lead to a greater lack of preparedness for disaster preparedness school students after the variables of knowledge, attitude, facilities and infrastructure are controlled.
