Congenital Rubella

Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS) consists of hearing impairment, ophthalmology abnormalities, and congenital heart disease in children, resulting from rubella infection during pregnancy. Rubella vaccine has been implemented as national immunization program in Indonesia since 2017, and needed to be evaluated. This study aimed to report the CRS patients’ profile of Audiology Outpatient Clinic in Surabaya. A descriptive study from patient’s medical record was conducted in Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya from January 2016 to December 2017. CRS was categorized using World Health Organization classification. Suspected infants with CRS burden were assessed by Otoacoustic Emission and rubella antibody test. Ninety five infants suspected with CRS classified as laboratory- confirmed CRS (58.95%), clinically confirmed CRS (15.79%), and discarded CRS (25.26%). Clinical manifestations included combination of congenital heart disease and hearing impairment (17.89%), congenital heart disease, ophthalmology abnormalities, and hearing impairment (16.84%), and hearing impairment and ophthalmology abnormalities (13.68%). The data show a high burden of CRS in Surabaya. These implies the urgent need for national rubella immunization program.

Background: Rubella is an acute viral disease that often attacks vulnerable children and young adults throughout the world. Even though it only causes mild clinical illness, concern in the health world arises from its teratogenic potential resulting in congenital rubella syndrome (CRS). The most common abnormalities of CRS are hearing loss or deafness, eye defects and congenital heart defects. Purpose: To determine the profiles of age and sex in congenital rubella syndrome patients with congenital heart disease in Dr Soetomo Regional Public Hospital for the period of 2016-2018. Methods: This type of research was a descriptive study by collecting data on the age and sex in congenital rubella syndrome patients with congenital heart disease in Dr Soetomo Regional Public Hospital retrospectively through medical records of patients for the period of 2016-2018. Results: The most age group of congenital rubella syndrome patients with congenital heart disease in Dr Soetomo Regional Public Hospital for the period of 2016-2018 was the toddler (0-

Abstract Background and aims Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) has garnered increasing interest especially for health care providers and researchers. The study aims to evaluate the HRQOL in parents of congenital heart disease (CHD) children, and to clarify the effect of the disease severity on the outcome of the HRQOL perception. Also, to analyze the internal consistency of the Arabic version of the World Health Organization (WHO) QOL-BREEF tool in order to determine whether the tool had good validity for the target population. Methods A cross-sectional study. The HRQOL perception was evaluated using WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire, and the internal consistency of the tool was tested using Cronbach’s alpha (α-C), Results The study sample consisted of 200 individuals, 120 parents of CHD children, compared to 80 parents of children with minor illnesses (mean age of participating parents = 35.1 ± 9.8 years). While evaluating the HRQOL, the group of parents of children with minor illnesses had higher scores than the total group of parents of CHD children in all domains, indicating a better HRQOL. Class-IV subgroup of parents of CHD children showed the most significant lower total score of domains between all classes (44.47 ± 12, p < 0.001). With respect to the internal consistency of the WHOQOL-BREF, estimation of α-C values were 0.84 points for the group of parents of CHD children, and 0.87 for the group of parents of children with minor illnesses. Conclusions This short-term study emphasized that, HRQOL scores among parents of CHD children are compromised, and the severity of their children illness significantly affect the total score of domains in their HRQOL perception. Furthermore, the tool showed to be practical and efficient to evaluate the QOL of parents of CHD children in our population in future researches.

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common cause of major birth defects, with a prevalence of 1%. Although an increasing number of studies reporting the etiology of CHD, the findings scattered throughout the literature are difficult to retrieve and utilize in research and clinical practice. We therefore developed CHDbase, an evidence-based knowledgebase with CHD-related genes and clinical manifestations manually curated from 1114 publications, linking 1124 susceptibility genes and 3591 variations to more than 300 CHD types and related syndromes. Metadata such as the information of each publication and the selected population and samples, the strategy of studies, and the major findings of study were integrated with each item of research record. We also integrated functional annotations through parsing ~50 databases/tools to facilitate the interpretation of these genes and variations in disease pathogenicity. We further prioritized the significance of these CHD-related genes with a gene interaction network approach, and extracted a core CHD sub-network with 163 genes. The clear genetic landscape of CHD enables the phenotype classification based on the shared genetic origin. Overall, CHDbase provides a comprehensive and freely available resource to study CHD susceptibility, supporting a wide range of users in the scientific and medical communities. CHDbase is accessible at http://chddb.fwgenetics.org/.

Objective: To determine the factors associated with severe ALRTI from RSV in children.Materials and Methods: A retrospective study of children aged 1-60 months were conducted from 2014 to 2018. Out of 269 patients diagnosed with RSV ALRTI, 100 children were enrolled in the study, 20 had severe RSV ALRTI, while 80 had non-severe RSV ALRTI as identified by the ReSVinet scale. A multivariable logistic model was conducted to select significant variables.Results: During the study period, 269 patients were diagnosed with RSV ALRTI. Mean age was 10.45 ± 3.53 months. Clinical manifestations of severe RSV ALRTI group had significant difference in abnormal general condition (P < 0.001), tachypnea (P < 0.001), SpO2 < 85% (P < 0.001), poor air entry in lungs (P < 0.001), and retraction (P < 0.001). The factors associated with severe RSV ALRTI group, were underlying congenital heart disease [aOR32.45; 95% CI 3.38-311.87, P = 0.003] and duration of hospital stay >5 days [aOR 19.56; 95% CI 1.81-212.05, P = 0.014].Conclusion: Factors associated with severe RSV ALRTI in children were underlying congenital heart disease andduration of hospital stay >5 days.

Hepatomegaly, observed in 8 infants with congenital heart disease and the rubella syndrome, failed to respond to digitalization and/or division of a patent ductus arteriosus in five of the eight infants. Hepatomegaly was accompanied by splenomegaly in seven infants and by purpura in two. Such manifestations may be erroneously diagnosed as evidences of heart failure. It should, therefore, be noted that the hepatomegaly of the rubella syndrome (unlike that from circulatory failure) is present at birth and non-progressive, is unresponsive to digitalis, diuretics, and curative surgery, and is usually accompanied by splenomegaly and often by purpura. The possibility of infection of the fetus by prepartum maternal rubella and of postnatal cardiovascular damage by the rubella virus were suggested by two infants studied.

SUMMARY Introduction: To assess dietary habits, nutritional status and food frequency in children and adolescents with Down syndrome (DS) and congenital heart disease (CHD). Additionally, we attempted to compare body mass index (BMI) classifications according to the World Health Organization (WHO) curves and curves developed for individuals with DS. Method: Cross-sectional study including individuals with DS and CHD treated at a referral center for cardiology, aged 2 to 18 years. Weight, height, BMI, total energy and food frequency were measured. Nutritional status was assessed using BMI for age and gender, using curves for evaluation of patients with DS and those set by the WHO. Results: 68 subjects with DS and CHD were evaluated. Atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) was the most common heart disease (52.9%). There were differences in BMI classification between the curves proposed for patients with DS and those proposed by the WHO. There was an association between consumption of vitamin E and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Conclusion: Results showed that individuals with DS are mostly considered normal weight for age, when evaluated using specific curves for DS. Reviews on specific curves for DS would be the recommended practice for health professionals so as to avoid precipitated diagnosis of overweight and/or obesity in this population.
