Abstract

Background Neonatal sepsis remains a crucial problem with highmorbidity and mortality. Not less than four million neonates dieevery year, 99% of which occur in developing countries withinfection as the main cause (36%) of death. The prognosticfactors of bacterial neonatal sepsis vary. However the death ratein neonatal sepsis with neutropenia is suspected to be higher thanthat in non-neutropenic condition.Objectives The purpose of this study was to identify whetherneutropenia would increase the death risk of bacterial neonatalsepsis.Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study. Subjectswere neonates at Instalasi Maternal Perinatal (IMP) of Dr. SardjitoHospital in Yogyakarta who met the eligibility criteria. Duringthe five-year period Qanuary 2002- January 2007), out of 1821cases of suspected neonatal sepsis, 365 (16.7%) were found tohave bacterial cause in the culture of body's fluid (blood, urine,and cerebrospinal). Out of these 16.7% patients suffering fromneutropenia, 39.6% patients died, whereas 9.1 o/o patients weresurvive [RR 4.72, (95% CI: 2.49 to 8.93), P < 0.01].Conclusion Neonates suffering bacterial sepsis with neutropeniahad death risk 4.7 times higher than those who did not haveneutropenia.

Abstract

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the death of an infant without known cause after comprehensive examination including scene investigation, autopsy, and history of the previous disease. Knowledge is the result of know something after sense a certain object. The incidence of SIDS in 2007 was 2.5% of the total neonatal mortality rate in Indonesia. This study's purpose is to understand the level of SIDS knowledge of general practitioners and risk factors for SIDS known by general practitioners. This is a descriptive survey study with a total of 58 general practitioners who provide health services as respondents. The sample is chosen by purposive sampling technique. The majority of respondents are women with an average age range from 26-35 years old. Sixty-nine percent respondent has a good level of SIDS knowledge and sixty-seven point two respondent notes preterm born as a possible risk factor for SIDS. This level of knowledge on SIDS may be caused by low detected cases of SIDS in Indonesia. From this result, we suggest holding more symposiums about SIDS that aim to increase general practitioner ability to diagnose SIDS
