Abstract

World Health Organization (WHO) labels pneumonia as “the leading killer of children worldwide” because for every five deaths of children under five, one is caused by pneumonia. According to WHO, pneumonia is the main cause of death in children less than five years old in developing countries. Based on Indonesia's health profile in 2020, pneumonia is the main problem causing death in children aged 29 days - 11 months with a prevalence of 14.5% or the equivalent of 3.55 per 100 children under five. Data from the West Nusa Tenggara health service in 2023 recorded 31,035 cases of pneumonia in children under five in NTB. The aim of this study was to determine the factors that influence the recurrence of pneumonia in toddlers in the Sigerongan and Lingsar Community Health Center Working Areas. This research is a observational analytical research with a Case Control design. The sampling technique uses Consecutive Sampling until the required sample is reached. The research was conducted in the work area of the Sigerongan and Lingsar Health Centers in West Lombok with a research sample of 84 respondents. The data obtained was analyzed using tests Chi-Square, Fisher’s exact, and Kolmogorov Smirnov. The results of the bivariate analysis using the testwho square, Fisher’s exact, And Kolmogorov Smirnov shows the completeness factor of immunization (p-value0.532), exclusive breastfeeding (p-value0.698), LBW (p-value0.395), nutritional status (p-value0.000), time to start MPASI (p-value 0.698), comorbidities (p-value 0.296), residential density (p-value0.549), smoking behavior (p-value 0.443), duration of smoking (p-value0.278), smoking area (p-value0.000), smoking dependence (p-value 0.000), parents education (p-value0.000), and home environment (p-value 0.616) does not affect pneumonia recurrence The results show that residential density factors influence the recurrence of pneumonia in children under five years.

Abstract

Leukemia is a hematologic malignancy characterized by abnormal proliferation of leukocytes. Hematological and clinical profiles may influence leukemia outcomes; however, information regarding their association with outcomes in pediatric leukemia patients in West Nusa Tenggara Province remains limited. To determine the association between hematological and clinical profiles and leukemia outcomes in children at the Regional General Hospital of West Nusa Tenggara Province. This quantitative observational analytic study used a cross-sectional design involving pediatric leukemia patients aged 0–18 years diagnosed between April 2024 and October 2025. Patients were selected using total sampling from medical records. Hematological variables included erythropenia, thrombocytopenia, leukocyte count, and anemia, while clinical variables included fever, bleeding, pallor, hepatomegaly, lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, and bone or joint pain. Of 65 eligible patients, 51 were included; 52.9% had acute lymphoblastic leukemia, 29.4% acute myeloid leukemia, and 17.6% chronic myeloid leukemia. Thirty-eight patients (74.5%) received chemotherapy. The most common findings were erythropenia (80%), thrombocytopenia (82.3%), anemia (82.3%), pallor (68.6%), and splenomegaly (66.7%). In the therapy group, thrombocytopenia (p = 0.016), bleeding (p = 0.037), and bone or joint pain (p = 0.038) were significantly associated with outcomes. In the non-therapy group, only bone or joint pain was significantly associated with outcomes (p = 0.029). Thrombocytopenia, bleeding, and bone or joint pain were associated with outcomes among patients receiving therapy, while bone or joint pain was associated with outcomes among non-therapy patients.
