Reduce Infant Mortality

One of the most important tasks that healthcare providers face is to reduce infant mortality. The purpose of our study was to assess the effects of routing of pregnant women with preterm birth on the infant mortality rate. Materials and methods: оperating data of the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat), operational notifications about death of young children under the age of 1, monthly reports of obstetric hospitals subordinate to Moscow Healthcare Department, annual reports of hospital departments providing neonatal care in medical organizations of Moscow Healthcare Department, and statistical data analysis. Results and discussion. The infant mortality rate in Moscow has been declining in recent decades and has been less than 6‰ annually since 2016. The share of newborns with extremely low birth weight is insignificant in overall rate. At the same time, extremely low birth weight is one of the main causes of infant mortality. As this category of newborns requires specific care, it is better to deliver such babies in perinatal centers that provide high quality medical care. Within 5 years, the share of children with ELBW born in perinatal centers and specialized obstetric hospitals has almost doubled. At the same time, there is an increase in the survival rate of children with extremely low birth weight by the age of one year in obstetric hospitals. Conclusion. Well-planned routing of patient within the large system of obstetric hospitals in Moscow could reduce death rate, increase the survival rate of children with extremely low birth weight and contribute to reducing infant mortality in the region.

The maternal mortality rate is 19,500 to 20,000 people every year or occurs every 26-27 minutes. The caus of maternal death is bleeding 30.5%, infection 22,5%, gestosis 17,5 and anesthesia 2%.  The infant mortality rate is around 10,000 to 280,000 per 18-20 minutes. The cause of infant mortality is due to Low Birth Weight (LBW) of 15/1000%.  The infant mortality rate in Indonesia is still the highest problem in other ASEAN countries. The infant mortality rate in Indonesia from 2008 was around 248 per 100,000 live births. Basic Health Research (RISKESDA) 2013 shows there are still 10,2% of babies with LBW, which is less than 2,500 grams. Neonatal death because LBW is basically affected by the nutritional status of pregnant women. This study aims to determine the relationship between the nutritional status of pregnant women and the  incidence  of  LBW. This  quantitative  research  uses  a  case  control  approach  using  a  retrospective approach. The population in this study were mothers who had given birth to babies during the last two years (2016-2017). The sampling technique uses total sampling for control cases by using a ratio of 1: 1 for the case group of 40: 40 samples. Analysis using Chi Square with p value 0,000 (OR=3,500, CI 95%=2,313-5,296). There is a relationship between nutritional status of pregnant women and the incidence of LBW. Health Technology Assessment (HTA) which can seek 1000 first day of life can be a breakthrough in assessing and providing interventions of nutrition in families, especially in pregnant women.

The aim of the study was to assess the trend of the infant mortality rate between 1990-2004 and the neonatal mortality between 2000-2005 in infants born at less than 32 weeks of gestational age or with very low birth-weight. Based on secondary data, infant mortality rate and by its component for Valdivia city were compared with national indicators. Mortality at <32 weeks and <1500g was calculated, establishing causes of death and evaluating its relation with specific interventions, such as the use of surfactant and antenatal corticoids. Since the year 2000, infant mortality rates have stopped their decrease in comparison to the preceding decade and the gap between national and local rates before 2000 was drastically reduced. Mortality at <32 weeks and <1500g varied between 88‰ and 200‰ of liveborns, emphasizing respiratory distress as the main cause of death. The use of corticoids and surfactant was in line with reductions in mortality rates.

<p>Low Birth Weight (LBW) is neonates with birth weight less than 2,500 grams (up to 2,499 grams) without looking the duration of pregnancy. LBW is one cause of infant mortality rate in Indonesia. Increasing the knowledge, attitudes, and skills of midwives are the strategy to reduce infant mortality rate. The number of spontaneous labor with preterm gestation by midwives is the main reason to increase the skills of the LBW. This study was aimed to evaluate the skills of midwives in the management of labor with low birth weight in intrapartum monitoring. The methods were a quantitative and qualitative study with cross sectional approach. The quantitative was to evaluate the skills of midwives in intrapartum monitoring (active phase of the first stage), it is using checklists to 20 midwives in the delivery room who had received at least 1 case of labor with LBW. Research also conducted qualitatively by interviewing midwives in the delivery room and hospital managers. The results of this study showed that the midwives were not competent in the intrapartum monitoring of LBW. The average value of midwives skills in action intrapartum monitoring is 70.3% (the highest value is 81,25% and the lowest is 62,25%). The midwives know that labor with LBW is not authorized by midwives, all this time management labor with low birth weight is through a doctor's advice, but the midwives were not competent and not confident in providing care in the management of labor with LBW. This study showed that the skills of midwives in the intrapartum monitoring of LBW are not good enough to be able to reduce mortality due to LBW. </p>

Initiation Of Breastfeeding

Background Infant mortality rate is an indicator of the degree ofhealth in society. In Indonesia, the infant mortality rate remainshigh, with most deaths occurring in the first 24 hours of life.Breastfeeding has been shown to reduce infant mortality, especiallyif undertaken in the first hour of life. This practice is knownas early initiation of breastfeeding (EIB). According to variousstudies, EIB implementation may be influen ced by many factorssuch as knowledge, attitude, behavior, and health care facilities.Objective To assess the level of knowledge, attitude, and behaviorof pregnant women towards EIB.Methods We conducted a descriptive study using questionnaireson 74 pregnant women in the outpatient clinic of Obstetrics andGynecology Department, Dustira Hospital, Cimahi, West Java,Indonesia from November to December 2012.Results Out of 74 respondents, 21 % had a good level of knowledgeon EIB, 23% had an adequate knowledge, and 56% had less thanadequate knowledge on EIB. A positive attitude towards EIBwas found in 65% of the respondents, while 35% had a negativeattitude. With regards to behavior conducive to EIB, 8% ofrespondents had good behavior, 57% had moderate behaviot; and35%had less than adequate behavior.Conclusion Majority of pregnant women have less than adequateknowledge on EIB, a positive attitude towards EIB, and moderateto less than adequate behavior conducive to EIB.

The Impact

In this study, the determinants of an apparent increase in the infant mortality rate of an urban population with high access to tertiary neonatal care are reviewed. For a 4-year period (1980 to 1983), all infant deaths (n = 422) of the 32,329 births to residents of the City of Boston were analyzed through linked vital statistics data and a review of medical records. A significant increase in the infant mortality rate occurred in 1982 due to increases in three components of the infant mortality rate: the birth rate of very low birth weight infants (&lt;1,500 g), the neonatal mortality rate of normal birth weight infants (≥2,500 g), and the mortality rate of infants dying during the postneonatal period (28 to 365 days). These increases were associated with inadequate levels of prenatal care. Although transient, the impact of the observed alterations in these infant mortality rate components was enhanced by a more long-standing phenomenon: the stabilization of mortality rates for low birth weight infants. This stabilization allowed the increases in other component rates to be expressed more fully than in previous years. In this report a mechanism is shown whereby fully regionalized neonatal care ultimately may confer to the infant mortality rate a heightened sensitivity to socioeconomic conditions and levels of adequate prenatal care.

Analytical Research

One of the indicators that determine a country's health status is the high and low number of the Infant Mortality Rate (IMR). Meanwhile, the incidence of Low Birth Weight (LBW) is one of the main determining factors that contribute to the Infant Mortality Rate (IMR). Many factors cause an increase in the number of IMR, one of which is parity. This study aims to determine the relationship between parity and low birth weight (LBW) in Cendrawasih Dobo Hospital, Aru Islands Regency.This study uses analytical research with a "retrospective" research design. The dependent variable is parity and the independent variable is LBW. The population in this study were all mothers who had LBW in Cendrawasih Dobo Hospital, Aru Islands Regency in 2020 as many as 42 mothers with LBW babies. Sampling using a total sampling technique. The study was conducted from July 1 to August 31, 2020, using secondary data, and analyzed using the Spearman Ranks statistical test.The results showed that almost half of the primiparous mothers gave birth to LBW babies, namely 15 babies (35.7%) and most of the multipara mothers gave birth to 22 LBW babies (52.4%). Based on the results of statistical tests using Spearman Rho with = 0.05) the value of count (0.470) > r table (0.257) then H1 is accepted, H0 is rejected, this means that there is a parity relationship with low birth weight (LBW).There were that not only high parity has the potential for LBW births, but even low parity has the potential to occur LBW births considering that there are many factors that can influence it, not only in terms of maternal parity. Health agencies can make efforts to prevent the occurrence of LBW by improving the quality of health services.

Most causes of infant death are problems that occur in newborn/neonatal (0-28 days old), Low Birth Weight Babies (LBW) is one of the factors which has a contribution to infant mortality, especially in the neonatal period. Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) is a benchmark in determining the degree of public health, both at the National and Provincial levels. This study aimed to determine the effect of the Kangaroo Mother Care Method (KMC) on the prevention of hypothermia in low birth weight infants at Morowali District Hospital in 2019. The type of research used was a quasi-experiment. The population is all low birth weight babies born from May to July 2019. The sample in this study was all newborns with low birth weight born from May to July 2019, totaling 30 babies. There is a difference (influence) on the baby's body temperature before and after KMC with a p-value=0,000. The kangaroo mother care can continue to be affiliated considering its benefits for both infants and mothers, as well as increasing the ability of health workers in conducting KMC so that they can provide in-house training for mothers to be carried out at home.

ABSTRACT   Low birth weight (LBW) infants with birth weight is less than 2500 grams, regardless of gestational age. Statistically showed 90 % incidence of LBW obtained in developing countries with a mortality rate 35 times higher tinggi.Di South Sumatra Province Infant Mortality Rate ( IMR ) is 29 per 1,000 live births. In Palembang BARI hospitals incidence of LBW in 2013 amounted to 317 cases . The purpose of this study is to determine is there a relationship between the factors of age, education, and parity with the incidence of Low Birth Weight in Palembang BARI hospitals in 2013. This study used survey method crosss sectional analytic approach. The study population was all women who gave birth and was admitted to hospital obstetrics Palembang BARI installations in 2013 amounted to 901. This research was conducted in February 2014. Samples were taken with a random sampling method sistematic. Analyze data using statistical test Chi - Square. Results of univariate analysis of this study showed that 193 (69.4 %) of the respondents had low birth weight, and 85 (30.6 %) respondents had BBLN. 63 (22.7 %) of respondents with a high risk of maternal age and 215 (77.3 %) of respondents with a low risk of maternal age. 157 (56.5 %) respondents with low education mothers and 121 (43.5 %) of respondents with higher education mothers. 48 (17.3 %) respondents with high parity mothers and 230 (82.7 %) respondents with low parity mothers. So the bivariate analysis showed no significant association between maternal age with the incidence of LBW with P value = 0.035, no significant association between education and the incidence of LBW with P value = 0.006, and no significant relationship between the incidence of low birth weight with parity P value = 0.041. It is recommended for health care workers (midwives) hospital in order to be used as material information regarding the occurrence of LBW and as an input as well as the evaluation of success in good health or when needed to do counseling and care of LBW, especially to mothers who give birth to low birth weight baby.   ABSTRAK Berat badan lahir rendah (BBLR) adalah bayi dengan berat lahir kurang dari 2500 gram tanpa memandang masa gestasi. Secara statistik menunjukkan 90% kejadian BBLR didapatkan di negara berkembang dengan angka kematiannya 35 kali lebih tinggi.Di Propinsi Sumatera Selatan Angka Kematian Bayi (AKB) sebesar 29 per 1.000 kelahiran hidup. Di RSUD Palembang BARI Tahun 2013 angka kejadian BBLR berjumlah 317 kasus. Tujuan Penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui adakah hubungan antara faktor umur, pendidikan, dan paritas dengan kejadian Berat Badan Lahir Rendah di RSUD Palembang BARI Tahun 2013. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode survey analitik dengan pendekatan crosss sectional. Populasi penelitian ini adalah semua ibu yang melahirkan dan dirawat inap di instalasi kebidanan RSUD Palembang BARI Tahun 2013 berjumlah 901. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan Februari 2014. Sampel penelitian diambil dengan metode sistematic random sampling. Analisa data menggunakan uji statistik Chi – Square. Hasil penelitian analisis univariat ini menunjukkan bahwa 193 (69,4%) responden mengalami BBLR, dan 85 (30,6%) responden mengalami BBLN. 63 (22,7%) responden dengan umur ibu resiko tinggi dan 215 (77,3%) responden dengan umur ibu resiko rendah. 157 (56,5%) responden dengan ibu pendidikan rendah dan 121 (43,5%) responden dengan ibu pendidikan tinggi. 48 (17,3%) reponden dengan ibu paritas tinggi dan 230 (82,7%) responden dengan ibu paritas rendah. Sehingga analisa bivariat menunjukkan ada hubungan yang bermakna antara umur ibu dengan kejadian BBLR dengan P value = 0,035, ada hubungan yang bermakna antara pendidikan dengan kejadian BBLR dengan P value = 0,006 dan ada hubungan yang bermakna antara paritas dengan kejadian BBLR dengan P value = 0,041. Disarankan bagi petugas kesehatan (bidan) rumah sakit agar dapat dijadikan sebagai bahan informasi mengenai terjadinya BBLR dan sebagai bahan masukan serta evaluasi keberhasilan dalam pelayanan kesehatan yang baik atau bila perlu dilakukannya penyuluhan serta asuhan  tentang BBLR khususnya kepada ibu yang melahirkan Bayi dengan BBLR.
