Abstract

Background Zinc is one of the micronutrients that is found deficient in preterm infants. To date, no parenteral zinc supplements are available in Indonesia and there is no recommendation established for routine zinc supplementation in preterm infants. Objective To evaluate the impact of zinc supplementation on growth indicators and morbidity in preterm infants. Methods This double-blind, randomized controlled trial included preterm infants aged 28-32 weeks who were assigned to one of two groups: the first group received a 10 mg zinc supplementation, while the second (control) group received a placebo. At discharge or at a maximum of 40 weeks post-menstrual age (PMA, calculated from the first day of the mother's last menstrual period), the following were evaluated : growth indicators (weight, length, and head circumference), serum zinc level, zinc supplementation side effects, and morbidity rate (intraventricular hemorrhage/IVH, necrotizing enterocolitis/NEC, btonchopulmonary dysplasia/BPD). Data were analyzed with independent T-test using SPSS version 22 software. Results Seventy-eight subjects were assigned to the zinc supplementation group and 76 subjects were assigned to the placebo group. Serum zinc level and mean body weight increment were significantly higher in the zinc group compared to the placebo group (P=0.00 and P=0.02, respectively). There were no significant differences between groups in mean body length or head circumference increment, nor in morbidity rate. Conclusion Preterm infants who received zinc supplementation have higher serum zinc level and mean body weight increment compared to the placebo group. No side effects are observed to have been caused by zinc supplementation.

Abstract

Background Very preterm infants (<32 weeks gestational age) are at high risk of poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. Early aggressive parenteral nutrition (protein ³ 2g/kg/day) can reduce the incidence of malnutrition in very preterm infants. At present, Fatmawati General Hospital does not have a standard nutritional protocol for preterm infant. Objective To determine the difference in growth (days to regain birth weight and growth velocity) of very preterm (<32 weeks gestational age) or very low birth weight (VLBW) (<1500g) infants who were born and hospitalized in the Neonatal Unit of Fatmawati General Hospital, Jakarta, before and after applying early aggressive parenteral nutrition using a nutrition protocol from Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta. Methods A quasi-experimental study was conducted on 23 very preterm or VLBW infants in the Neonatal Unit of Fatmawati General Hospital, from July to November 2019. Control group data were taken from medical records of very preterm or VLBW babies discharged from our unit from January 2018 – to June 2019 and compared to those of the intervention group. Results The intervention group regained their birth weight significantly faster than the control group [mean 7.43 (SD 3.5) vs. 16.73 (SD 5.1) days, respectively; (P=0.00)]. Mean growth velocity was also significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group [14.6 (SD 6.0) vs. 8.9 (SD 6.9) gram/kg/day, respectively; (P=0.002)]. Conclusion Provision of early aggressive parenteral nutrition reduces the time to regain birth weight and leads to higher growth velocity in very preterm/VLBW infants.

Abstract

Background: As a developing country that still struggles with infant mortality, Indonesia needs high-quality and efficient neonatal care. However, due to the complexity of neonatal care, the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) still has a high cost, approximately USD 950 - 31,000, as the last line of care. Aims: This study analyzes the cost incurred due to service improvement at Fatmawati General Hospital. The cost analysis may serve as useful evidence for other hospitals with NICUs that seek to improve their service. Methods: We used cost analysis to examine pre-intervention costs in 2015 and post-intervention costs in 2021. Our data were gathered primarily in the NICU of Fatmawati General Hospital for three months in 2023. Results: The results showed an increase in total cost of IDR 1,898,040,489 (55%). The largest cost increase was personnel and supplies costs, which accounted for 83.8% of the cost increase. However, this cost increase was also followed by a significant decrease in mortality rates, from 128 deaths per 1,000 births to 17 deaths per 1,000 births. Conclusion: This study found a correlation between investment in service improvements and decreased infant mortality rates in the NICU of Fatmawati General Hospital. Although the 55% increase in total cost was associated with a significant decrease in infant mortality rates in the NICU of Fatmawati General Hospital, further studies are needed to determine the effectiveness of improvements in the NICU's services.
