Abstract

Background The compliance of iron deficiency anemia treatmentthat is administered three times daily in children is low. Thecompliance will be better if therapy is administered once daily.Objective To compare the iron therapy response of once per dayvs. three times a day administration in 9-12 year old children withiron deficiency anemia.Methods Children with iron deficiency anemia were randomlyallocated into a ferrous sulfate once-daily group or a ferrous sulfatethree times-daily group with the same dose of 5 mg/kg /day ofelemental iron for 30 days. Iron deficiency anemia was definedas Hb < 12 g/dL (World Health Organization criteria), MCV< 70 fl, RDW > 16 %, Mentzer index > 13 and RDW index >220. Iron treatment response was characterized by the increase inHb level 30 days after treatment. Peripheral blood samples werecollected at the start and end of the study.Results Ninety seven children were enrolled. There weresignificant increases in Hb levels in both groups after 30 days ofiron therapy, but there was no significant difference in Hb levelbetween the two groups (P=0.55).Conclusion The administration of a once daily dose of ferroussulfate did not show a significant difference in the increase ofHblevels compared to a three times daily dose.

Abstract

Background Iron has been shown to improve growth in childrenwith iron deficiency anemia (IDA), as indicted by increases inheight and weight. Frequently, malnutrition and iron deficiencycoexist.Objective To determine the effect of iron treatment on nutritionalstatus in children with IDA.Methods A randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial wasconducted at Bilah Hulu, a subdistrict of Labuhan Batu, NorthSumatera, Indonesia, between November 2006 and February2007. Iron deficiency anemia was diagnosed if there anemiawas present along with MCHC <31%, RDW index >220 andMentzer index> 13. Elementary school children (8-12 years old)with IDA were randomly assigned to either receive a daily therapyof 6 mg iron/kg/day or a placebo for three months. Nutritionalstatus was evaluated by anthropometric assessment before andafter intervention.Results From 300 subjects recruited, there were 111 (3 7 .2%)with iron deficiency anemia; 108 of them completed the therapy.After intervention, the iron and placebo groups had differentmean hemoglobin concentrations (P <0.05), but there was nosignificant difference in mean weight and height gain betweenthe two groups.Conclusion A significant increase in hemoglobin concentrationwas seen when iron was given, but did not affect weight and height increase in the subjects.

Abstract

Background Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) remains a commonnutritional problem, especially in school-age children. Due tothe many examinations that are needed to be performed and the invasive gold standard procedure, an easy and simple alternative examination to diagnose IDA is needed.Objective To determine the impact of iron therapy on Mentzerand red cell distribution width (RDW) indexes of children withIDA.Methods A randomized open clinical trial was conducted inprimary school aged children in North Aek Nabara, betweenNovember 2006 and November 2007. IDA was determined basedon WHO criteria. Subjects with severe anemia were excluded.Subjects were randomly assigned to groups that received eitheriron therapy or a placebo.Results Three-hundred subjects from aged 9 to 12 years oldwere recruited and 104 subjects completed the study. The meanRDW index of the iron and placebo groups after three monthsobservation were 239.96 (SD 39.25) and 235.17 (SD 31.77),respectively. The mean Mentzer index mean for the iron therapyand placebo groups after three months observation were 16.08(SD 1.98) and 16.20 (SD 2.27), respectively.Conclusion After therapy, there are no significant differences ineither the Mentzer or RDW indexes between the therapy andplacebo groups.

Abstract

Background Deficiencies in liver synthetic function can only bedetected if the damage is severe, which are more often due to nonhepatic factors such as malignancies, both hematologic and solidtumor.Objective To assess liver function in children with either hemato-logic malignancy or solid tumor and to find out which one of themmostly affects liver function.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 125 childrenwith malignancies in the Sub division of Hemato-Oncology De-partment of Child Health, Adam Malik Hospital, Medan, from Janu-ary 1999 until May 2000. The inclusion criteria included all pa-tients who were younger than 15 years and had not received anytreatment yet. The differences between prevalent liver dysfunctionin both groups were assessed by using chi-square test; Fisher’sexact test was used to know the type of liver cell damage.Results Liver dysfunction occurred in both types of malignancies. Adecrease of albumin level was not significant in both groups. Therewas a statistically significant difference between the prolongedprothrombine time (PT) in hematologic malignancy (26.4%) and thatin solid tumor (10.4%) with p=0.03. There was no significant differ-ence in the elevation of serum transaminase concentration, totalbilirubin, and alkaline phosphatase. Based on aspartate aminotrans-ferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ratio, we foundthat the type of liver cell damages was infiltrative disorders, occurred13 out of 20 cases with elevated AST and ALT.Conclusion Liver dysfunction occurred in both types of malig-nancy; it occurred more frequently in hematologic malignancy thanin solid tumors

Abstract

Background Chronic severe anemia is known to increase cardiac output when the hemoglobin levels are < 7 g/dL for more than three months. Chronic severe anemia is also associated with a high incidence of cardiac enlargement and congestive heart failure.Objective To determine the relationship between hemoglobin level and cardiothoracic ratio in children with chronic severe anemia.Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study in Haji Adam Malik Hospital, Medan, Indonesia from October to December 2009. Subjects had chronic severe anemia and were aged 1 to 15 years. Hematological data was collected at the beginning of the study. The heart was considered enlarged if the cardiothoracic ratio (CTR) was greater than 50% (0.50) by chest roentgenogram. We used simple linear regression to analyze the relationship between hemoglobin and CTR values.Results Thirty subjects enrolled in our study. Their mean age was 115.7 months (SD 56.95). Hemoglobin levels ranged from 2.1 to 6.9 g/dL. The mean hemoglobin level and duration of anemia were 4.71 g/dL (SD 1.48) and 3.9 months (SD 0.70), respectively. Heart enlargement was observed in 23 patients (76.6%). The CTR ranged from 0.52 to 0.69, with a mean of 0.54 (SD 0.06). We found a significant correlation between CTR and hemoglobin levels with Pearson’s correlation coefficient, (r) = - 0.612 and P = 0.001.Conclusion Low hemoglobin levels significantly correlated with high CTR values in children with chronic severe anemia.

Abstract

Background Thalassemia is a chronic disease that is becoming a major health problem in the world, including the Mediterranean, as well as Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia. This condition clearly affects the patient's quality of life, because of the condition itself andthe effects of treatment. Assessment is needed to detennine actions to be taken to improve the quality of life in thalassemic children.Objective To assess the differences in quality of life of thalassemic children compared to their normal siblings.Methods We perfonned a cross􀁌sectional study from May 2010 until June 2010 in H. Adam Malik Hospital, Medan and the home of a member of the North Sumatra Chapter of the Association of Parents of Thalassemia Sufferers (perhimpunan Orangtua PenderitaTalasemia Indonesia, POPTI). Thalassemic children aged 5-18 years and their age and gender􀁌adjusted siblings were divided into two groups: case group and control group. Parents and children were asked to fill the PedsQL (Pediatric Quality of life Inventory)version 4.0 questionnaire to assess their quality of life.Results There were 59 children in each group. The assessments of four quality of life domains in the thalassemic group vs the control group showed the folloMng: physical function 53.1 vs 71.5 (95% CI -21.41 to -15.26, P􀁍O.OOOI), emotional function 50.9 vs 62.9 (95% CI -16.82 to -7 .41, P􀁍O.OOO 1), social function 62.5 vs 72.8 (95% CI-13.50 to -7.01, P􀁍O.OOOI) and school function 36.2 vs 56.0 (95% CI -22.95 to -16.71, P􀁍O.OOOI). Total scores were 50.9 vs 66.1 (95% CI -18.20to -13.12, P􀁍O.OOOI). School function was the most affected parameter studied, with thalassemic children scoring lower than the control group.Conclusion There were significant decreases in the quality of life parameters in the thalassemic group compared to the control group. Thalassemic children have poorer quality oflife compared to their nonnal siblings, Mth school function being the mostaffected domain.

Abstract

Objectives To assess BCG vaccination and nutritional states inchildren with tuberculous meningitis and their relations with theoccurrence of tuberculous meningitis.Methods A case-control study was conducted at the Divisionof Neurology, Department of Child Health, Adam Malik Hospi-tal, Medan, from January 1997 to December 2000. Subjects ofthis study were all tuberculous meningitis patients and primarytuberculosis patients as the control group. Odds ratio (OR) wasused to assess the risk of tuberculous meningitis in patientswith positive BCG vaccination and (1-OR) was used to assessthe efficacy of BCG to prevent tuberculous meningitis.Results Four out of sixteen tuberculous meningitis patients werevaccinated, while 10 of 16 primary tuberculosis patients were vac-cinated (p=0.03). OR of vaccinated patients to get tuberculousmeningitis was 0.2 (95%CI 0.04;0.91). The efficacy of BCG vacci-nation to prevent tuberculous meningitis was 1-0.2 = 0.8. The riskof severe malnourished patients to get tuberculous meningitis was2.33 (95%CI 0.52;10.48; p=0.26).Conclusion Most tuberculous meningitis patients were not BCGvaccinated. Severe malnutrition did not play role in the occurrenceof this disease
