Abstract

Though COVID-19 caught healthcare authorities worldwide off guard, several countries successfully dampened the morbidity and mortality curve by imposing strict biosecurity protocols. We would like to observe the effect of healthcare policies enforced in correlation to the formation of new clusters during early phases of the pandemic, thereby providing statistical justification for laws enforced by authorities. With access to medical records from Udayana University Hospital, a tertiary COVID-19 referral health center, we then observe epidemiological data of patients admitted and their admission date in correlation to dates where major changes in national COVID-19 protocols were established. We found a double distinctive curve that is mainly made of two distinct demographic groups: migrant workers and private employees. We found that during March 2020, when strict travel protocols are yet to be imposed, the viral introduction was mostly carried by returning migrant workers. Sporadic cases emerged, though soon vanishing due to the enforcement of quarantine protocols. Subsequently, in June 2020, a work-from-office setting was adopted, where some offices perform at a capacity higher than allowed. This incites the formation of new office-linked clusters. After this period, no recognizable pattern found due to massive local transmission affecting all layers of society. However, it can be concluded that COVID-19 law does shape the curve, and strict protocols may end the pandemic sooner. Keywords: COVID-19, Migrant Workers, Health Policy, Private Employee

Abstract

Background: Iron's vital role in early neurodevelopment, especially in motor skill acquisition, underscores its importance for pediatric health professionals and researchers, emphasizing the need to understand how supplementation impacts outcomes.Methods: This study was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. We conducted a systematic search of PubMed, DOAJ, and Scopus for studies assessing motor development measured with the Bayley Scales of Infant Development among children receiving iron supplementation. A random-effects meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the pooled mean motor score.The pooled post-supplementation ferritin levels varied widely, with a mean of 76.62 (95% CI: −30.86; 184.10), highlighting the complexity and importance of personalized approaches in iron management for clinicians and researchers.Conclusion: While current evidence suggests iron supplementation supports normal motor development, the variability in ferritin levels and unclear dose-response relationships should motivate healthcare professionals to pursue further research to optimize strategies for neurodevelopmental benefits.
