Abstract

Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) in sepsis is associated with an inflammatory process in kidney microcirculation and may increase morbidity and mortality in children. The neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an inflammatory biomarker of the inflammatory process in sepsis. Objective To determine the role of NLR in predicting the severity of AKI and to describe the demographic and laboratory characteristics, as they relate to outcomes of pediatric patients with AKI and sepsis. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in the PICU at Dr. Zainoel Abidin General Hospital (RSUDZA), Banda Aceh, Aceh. Medical record data were obtained from critically ill children with sepsis and AKI. Chi-square test was used to compare the proportions of each variable. We also calculated odds ratios to evaluate the AKI severity, PELOD-2 score, and patient outcomes. Spearman's analysis was used to look for a possible correlation between NLR and AKI severity in septic children. Results Seventy-one subjects with sepsis and AKI were included. Subject characteristics were as follows: 63.4% males, 63.4% < 1 year of age, 56.3% with respiratory problems as a primary disease, 38% with AKI injury stage, and 54.9% subjects with PELOD-2 score ?10. There was no significant correlation between AKI severity and mortality (OR 3.04; 95%CI 0.990 to 9.378; P=0.052). Subjects with a PELOD-2 score ?10 had a 47.6 times higher chance of mortality in septic children with AKI compared to those with PELOD-2 scores <10. There was no correlation between NLR and AKI severity (r=0.019; P=0.878). Conclusion There is no correlation between NLR and AKI severity. Sepsis accompanied by AKI may increase the risk of mortality in children. Septic children with more severe AKI tends to be less survive.

Abstract

Introduction: Because SLE patients receive immunosuppressive and glucocorticoid medication, they are more susceptible to opportunistic infections. Multiple brain abscesses are an extremely uncommon side effect of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Case description: The purpose of this case study is to raise awareness of the 14-year-old girl who reported experiencing weakness in her limbs. A year ago, she received a diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus. Upon physical examination, nervus VII central paresis was discovered; the lower extremities' muscular strength was 3333/2222 and the upper extremities' 3333/2222. A head CT scan revealed findings that were consistent with lupus cerebritis. Multiple ring lesions with extensive edoema were detected by magnetic resonance imaging, raising the possibility of multiple brain abscesses. For six weeks, the patient had intravenous metronidazole and ceftriaxone. The patient was allowed to go home with instructions to keep taking corticosteroids and mycophenolic acid as well as to schedule routine outpatient appointments. This case study aims to raise awareness about the 14-year-old girl who reported experiencing weakness in her limbs. Her condition was identified by specialists as systemic lupus erythematosus a year ago.

Conclusion: It is critical to being aware that individuals with impaired immune systems should always be suspected of having an opportunistic central nervous system infection when they experience new neurologic symptoms. A brain abscess is a chronic infection of the central nervous system that can arise from a number of risk factors and infection sources. A brain abscess is one of the uncommon side effects of SLE.

Abstract

Drug-resistant epilepsy presents significant challenges in treating epileptic patients, leading to recurrent seizures and necessitating the use of polypharmacy with anti-epileptic drugs. Both of these conditions contribute to increased oxidative stress, which is detrimental to the brain. The aim of this study was to determine the role of vitamins C and E in reducing oxidative stress and seizure frequency in drug-resistant epileptic patients. This was a double-blinded, randomized clinical trial with a placebo, parallel design, and block randomization. The subjects were drug-resistant epileptic patients aged 1–18 years who received routine treatment. Randomization was performed on 100 patients who were divided into the treatment or placebo groups. The patients received a combination of vitamin C (100 mg/day) and vitamin E (200 IU/day for those <5 years or 400 IU/day for those ≥5 years) or a placebo for eight weeks. Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and seizure frequency were measured prior to and after the intervention. A total of 42 and 46 patients were followed till the end of the study in the intervention and placebo groups, respectively. Our data indicated that the MDA levels prior to treatment were not significantly different between the treatment and placebo groups (0.901 vs 0.890 mmol/mL, p=0.920) and were significantly reduced after the treatment in both the treatment group (p<0.001) and placebo group (p=0.028). The changes in MDA levels (between post- and pre-treatment) were also not significantly different between the two groups (p=0.181). Our per-protocol analysis indicated that the reduction in seizure frequency was significantly higher in the treatment group compared to the placebo group (95% vs 35%, p<0.001), with 92% and 60% relative and absolute risk reduction, respectively. The intention-to-treat analysis also indicated that the reduction in seizure frequency was significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group (80% vs 32%, p<0.001), with relative and absolute risk reduction of 70% and 48%, respectively. There was no significant relationship between changes in MDA levels and seizure frequency in either group. In conclusion, vitamins C and E could reduce seizure frequency and, therefore, could be considered as adjuvant therapy in drug-resistant epileptic patients.

Abstract

Background  Acquired prothrombin complex deficiency (APCD) is a rare but life-threatening bleeding disorder in children. Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is the leading cause of death, with an estimated risk affecting 50–80% of cases. Key risk factors associated with mortality in APCD include onset of disease, presence of ICH, and the initial Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score. Routine intramuscular administration of vitamin K at birth has been shown to effectively prevent early and late-onset vitamin K deficiency bleeding. However, in settings where vitamin K prophylaxis is not administered or is delayed, the risk of APCD increases significantly. Despite these concerns, other potentially relevant clinical factors contributing to APCD outcomes remain under-investigated. Objective To identify risk factors associated with APCD mortality in children treated at Dr. Zainoel Abidin General Hospital, Banda Aceh. Methods This cross sectional study analyzing children diagnosed with APCD at Dr. Zainoel Abidin General Hospital from October 2022 to October 2024. Data were collected from the medical records of 30 children and analyzed using Chi-square and logistic regression tests. Results This study included 30 subjects, the majority of whom were male and aged 8 days to 6 months. Most of subject were born full term, delivered vaginally, and had birth weight ≥ 2.500 grams. Notably, 25/30 children did not receive vitamin K prophylaxis, 14/18 children were exclusively breastfed without vitamin K prophylaxis, and 25/30 children had good nutritional status. Late-onset APCD was observed in 14 out of 30 cases.  Intracranial vs extracranial hemorrhage was occurred in 21 vs 9 children. Initial GCS scores ≤ 8 at initiation of treatment were noted in 11/30 children. The mortality rate was occurred in 12/30 subjects (40%). Chi-square analysis revealed significant associations between increased mortality and late onset APCD (P=0.030), ICH (P=0.049), and initial GCS score ≤ 8 (P=0.009). Logistic regression analysis revealed initial GCS score was associated with the highest risk of mortality in APCD, with a 16-fold increase in risk (P=0.022; OR 15.9; 95%CI 1.5 to 168.9). Conclusion Intracranial hemorrhage, late-onset APCD, and initial GCS scores ≤ 8 are significantly associated with increased APCD mortality, with initial GCS emerging as the most influential risk factor.

Abstract

Frequent blood transfusions in children with beta-thalassemia major result in iron overload, leading to hemosiderosis in various body tissues, and impair the function of these organs, disrupting vitamin D metabolism, which contributes to osteoporosis and other morbidities, which are believed to be associated with hypocalcemia, which significantly affects growth. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between vitamin D and calcium status in children with β-thalassemia major at dr. Zainoel Abidin Public Hospital in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Methods: An analytical observational study employed a cross-sectional design involving 40 children aged 2–18 years with a beta-thalassemia major attending the Children's Thalassemia Clinic at dr. Zainoel Abidin Public Hospital in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. from July to November, 2024. Categorical data were analyzed using the Spearman test, with a p-value of <0,05. Results, of the 40 subjects, 55% subjects were male, in 45% of subjects, there was Vitamin D deficiency, 25% was vitamin D insufficiency, hypocalcemia in 77,5% subjects. Among subjects with vitamin D deficiency, 94,4% also had hypocalcemia (r = 0,037, p = 0,017). In conclusion, there was a significant association between vitamin D and calcium status in children with beta-thalassemia major.

Abstract

Pneumonia is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children with congenital heart disease (CHD). Risk factors for pneumonia in these children include anemia, hypoxemia, nutritional status, congestive heart failure, and neuromuscular disorders. This study aimed to determine the risk factors for pneumonia in children with CHD at the Dr. Zainoel Abidin Public Hospital, Banda Aceh, Indonesia. This analytical, observational study employed a cross-sectional approach. This study included children aged 1 month to 18 years who were treated at the Dr. Zainoel Abidin Public Hospital from January 2022 to December 2023. Data were collected from medical records of 121 children who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were analyzed using bivariate analysis with the chi-square test and multivariate analysis with logistic regression. Pneumonia was observed in 66 (54,5%) patients. The majority of children with critical illnesses who developed pneumonia were between 1 month and 5 years of age (60%), female (61,7%), had poor nutritional status (53,2%), and had a birth weight ≥ 2500 g (54,5%). The type of CHD was found to be a significant risk factor for pneumonia (p = 0,024), with an odds ratio of 3,16 (95% CI: 1,162–8,617). In conclusion, the CHD type is a risk factor for pneumonia in children with CHD.
