Abstract

Low Birth Weight (LBW) is the main cause of the high infant mortality rate, especially in the perinatal period. LBW is extremely susceptible to infection, a very big risk of experiencing problems when the baby grows up to adulthood. This study aimed to determine the association between high-risk expectant mother (mother's age, gestational age, maternal anemia, maternal nutritional status, and family socioeconomic status) with LBW. This research was a quantitative research with an observational analytic approach with a case control study design. The population in this study were all mothers who gave birth to babies in the working area of Somba Opu Health Center in 2020-2021. The sample in this study were 64 expectant mothers consisting of 32 cases and 32 controls taken by using a purposive sampling technique with the inclusion criteria of expectant mothers domiciled in Somba Opu sub-district having completed examination records. The association analysis used Chi Square test with 95% confidence interval. The results showed that there was a significant association between maternal anemia with LBW (p=0,003, OR=7) and there is no association between maternal age (p=0,305, OR=1,9), gestational distance (p=0,426, OR=2,8), maternal nutritional status (p=0,197, OR=2,3), and socioeconomic status of the family (p=0,238, OR=2,5) with LBW in the working area of Somba Opu Health Center, Gowa Regency in 2021. The researcher recommends that the expectant mothers routinely perform ANC in order to increase early detection of high-risk expectant mothers, and increase maternal nutritional intake by consuming balanced nutrition, taking Fe tablets, doing PMT for expectant mothers which can increase maternal Hb levels.

Abstract

Multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) is a significant public health concern in Indonesia, resulting in substantial morbidity and mortality rates. This study aimed to quantify the impact of risk factors of MDR-TB. A case-control study was conducted at Makassar Community Lung Health Center (BBKPM) in Makassar City. A total of 132 respondents, 66 cases, and 66 controls have participated in the study. Data was analyzed using the Stata version 14 tool, odds ratio (OR), and multiple logistic regression. Multiple logistic regression analysis identified significant risk factors for the occurrence of MDR-TB include previous TB treatment (OR=8.46, 95% CI: 3.278-21.858), positive acid-fast bacilli (AFB) sputum (OR=6.40, 95% CI: 2.525-16.260), and adverse drug event (OR=3.45, 95% CI: 1.008-11.867). The probability of developing MDR-TB is 95.9% if there is previous TB treatment with cases of relapse/loss to follow-up/failed treatment, positive AFB sputum, and adverse drug event. The most dominant risk factor for the occurrence of MDR-TB is a previous TB treatment. We suggest that an efficient directly observed treatment shortcourse (DOTS) strategy, particularly in the management of adverse drug event, overseeing and supporting patients who have recovered from MDR-TB, involves the collaboration of MDR-TB healthcare professionals and patient supporters in the Yamali TB community, moving synergistically as an effort to MDR-TB control and prevention.
