Abstract

Background Congenital rubella syndrome (CRS) is the triad of defects/abnormalities in the heart, eyes, and ears, resulting from rubella virus infection, especially in the first trimester of pregnancy. Manifestations of CRS are divided into Group A including: hearing loss, congenital heart disease, cataracts or glaucoma, and pigmentary; Group consisted of purpura, splenomegaly, microcephaly, mental retardation, retinopathy and icteric radiolucent bone disoreder that appears within 24 hours after birth. CRS diagnosis is based on serologic rubella test results. Comprehensive management of CRS is needed to achieve optimal child development. However, not all referral center hospitals in Indonesia have serological rubella examination modalities. Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of group A and group B clinical manifestations compared to rubella serology results in the diagnosis of CRS. Methods This cross-sectional study used secondary data from medical records of pediatric patients with suspected CRS who meet the criteria for groups A and B aged less than 12 months who had been hospitalized at Dr. Zainoel Abidin Regional General Hospital, Banda Aceh, during the three-year study period (2019-2021) which have complete data were included in the study. The IgM serology results were used as diagnostic comparison that performed at the age of less than 12 months. Results A total of 126 patients met the inclusion criteria. Sixty-five (51.6%) subjects were male, 80 (63.5%) subjects had normal birth weight, and 89 (70.6%) subjects were aged <6 months. The diagnostic sensitivity for groups A, B, as well as A and B clinical manifestations were 100%, 75%, and 100%, respectively. This excellent sensitivity value suggests that the clinical manifestations of groups A and B would be suitable as screening tools because they could “catch” many patients with suspected CRS. Conclusion The clinical manifestations of group A and group B have excellent diagnostic value as a screening tool for CRS.

Abstract

Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) is an acute functional kidney disorder that increases morbidity and mortality in children. The mortality rate for critically ill patients accompanied by AKI is quite high and is influenced by the degree of AKI, the severity of the disease, and organ function disorders. Understanding the risk factors of developing AKI in children with critical illness can help prevent AKI. Objective To determine the risk factors for AKI in children with critical illness. Methods This retrospective cohort study included 255 children aged 1 month to 18 years admitted at the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of dr. Zainoel Abidin Regional Public Hospital, Banda Aceh, Aceh, from January to December 2022 using medical record data. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed. Results Acute kidney injury occurred in 68 (26.7%) patients. Based on pRIFLE criteria, 34 (50%) patients had AKI in the failure stage. Risk factors for AKI in children with critical illness were in descending order of RR: sepsis (RR 14.3; 95%CI 11.68 to 18.66; P=0.000), mechanical ventilation (RR 12.13; 95%CI 8.75 to 15.98; P=0.000), respiratory disorders (RR 2.51; 95%CI 2.06 to 4.02; P=0.003), congenital heart disease (RR 2.08; 95%CI 2.00 to 3.05; P=0.004), CNS disorders (RR 1.24; 95%CI 1.02 to 2.49; P=0.048), nephrotoxic drug use (RR 1.41; 95%CI 1.24 to 3.08; P=0.000), and age 1 month to 5 years (RR 0.072; 95%CI 0.16 to 0.32; P=0.010). Conclusion Sepsis is a risk factor for AKI in children with critical illness, followed by mechanical ventilation use, respiratory disorders, nephrotoxic drug use. Age <5 years is a protective factor.

Abstract

Background Epilepsy is a central nervous system disorder characterized by abnormal electrical activity in the brain.1 Prolonged administration of valproic acid at therapeutic doses can disrupt thyroid function, leading to subclinical hypothyroidism. This condition is marked by elevated thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, with normal serum free T4 (FT4) levels.2 Objective To investigate for possible associations between valproic acid therapy duration and dosage with the incidence of subclinical hypothyroidism in pediatric epilepsy patients. Methods This analytical, cross-sectional study included children aged 4 months to 18 years treated at the Pediatric Clinic of RSUD Dr. Zainoel Abidin, Banda Aceh, from September to November 2023. Subjects diagnosed with epilepsy and treated with valproic acid for at least 3 months were included in this study and underwent FT4 and TSH examinations. Results Forty-four children met the study criteria. Subclinical hypothyroidism occurred in 5 (11.4%) subjects during valproic acid therapy. Chi-square analysis revealed no significant association between therapy duration ?1 year (OR 1.286; 95%CI 0.193 to 8.568; P=1.00) or therapy dose ?20-40 mg/kg/day (OR 3.429; 95%CI 0.351 to 33.518; P=0.37) with subclinical hypothyroidism incidence. Conclusion Neither the duration nor the dosage of valproic acid therapy were significantly associated with the incidence of subclinical hypothyroidism in children with epilepsy.

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

Background The initial response in the first three months of valproic acid therapy is a prognostic factor for predicting treatment success, and it is considered to be poor if seizures persist during the three months of valproic acid treatment. Several factors might influence the initial response to valproic acid therapy, including gender, age, family history of epilepsy, electroencephalogram (EEG), head circumference, type of seizure, cerebral palsy, and pre-therapy seizure frequency. Objective To determine the risk factors for poor early response to valproic acid therapy in children with epilepsy. Methods This retrospective cohort study was conducted in children newly diagnosed with epilepsy. Data were collected from medical records of patients who had been treated at the Pediatric Polyclinic of dr. Zainoel Abidin Hospital for one year. Results Of 90 subjects, most were male (58; 64.4%) and aged three years or older (79; 87.8%). Forty-five (50%) patients had a family history of epilepsy. More than a quarter of the subjects (35; 38.9%) showed initial poor responses to valproic acid therapy. Bivariate analysis revealed risk factors for poor initial response to valproic acid therapy were age ≥ 3 years, family history of epilepsy, normal EEG, normal head circumference, generalized seizure type, cerebral palsy, and pre-therapy seizure frequency. However, multivariate analysis revealed that risk factors for poor initial response to valproic acid therapy in children with epilepsy that retained significance were family history of epilepsy (RR 6.58; 95%CI 1.67 to 25.95; P=0,001), abnormal EEG (RR 5.27; 95%CI 1.16 to 23.87; P=0,000), focal seizures (RR 7.10; 95%CI 1.15 to 43.80; P=0,000), and cerebral palsy (RR 62.62; 95%CI 3.93 to 996.45; P=0,001). Conclusion The risk factors for poor initial response to valproic acid therapy in children with epilepsy are family history of epilepsy, abnormal EEG, focal seizures, and cerebral palsy.
