Abstract

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) that first reported in Wuhan City, China. Most confirmed cases of COVID-19 develop mild, moderate, severe to critical symptoms. One of the therapies given and of concern is remdesivir. Remdesivir is an antiviral with a broad spectrum that has activity against various types of viruses including Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) and SARS-CoV. The aim of this review was to evaluate the clinical trial and the therapeutical progress of remdesivir in the treatment of COVID-19 patients. Databases used for this review were Google Scholar, JAMA, PubMed and Science Direct library. The inclusion criteria were covering any literature using remdesivir in clinical studies and COVID-19 therapy published from December 2019 to October 2020. Overall no pattern of laboratory abnormalities and clinically significant changes in vital signs or ECG shifts was observed in patients receiving remdesivir. The decision to use remdesivir in COVID-19 treatment should consider its potential benefits and risks.

Abstract

Birth weight is a crucial indicator of infant health, influencing survival and future growth and mental development. In 2020, 40 mothers (7.19%) experienced preeclampsia during childbirth. Among mothers giving birth, 216 (39%) were primiparous, 300 (54%) multiparous, and 40 (7.19%) grand multiparous. This study aimed to identify maternal factors associated with the prevalence of low birth weight (LBW) in hospitals. Utilizing a case-control research design, this quantitative study employed an observational analytical method. The sample consisted of 60 controls and 30 cases of LBW infants, randomly selected from mothers who delivered between January and December. Data were analyzed using bivariate chi-square tests.The analysis revealed a significant relationship between preeclampsia and LBW incidence, with a prevalence ratio (PR) of 2.667 (95% CI = 1.591-4.470). To mitigate LBW rates, the Indonesian Ministry of Health has established health check-up guidelines for pregnant women. This initiative aims to enhance hospital programs addressing factors that contribute to LBW. Additionally, variables such as parity, anemia, and nutritional status did not show a significant correlation with LBW incidence.In conclusion, while preeclampsia was significantly linked to LBW, other maternal factors such as parity and nutritional status require further investigation to understand their potential impacts on birth weight outcomes effectively. The findings underscore the importance of comprehensive maternal healthcare to improve neonatal health outcomes and reduce the prevalence of LBW in future pregnancies.
