Abstract

Pneumonia is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children with congenital heart disease (CHD). Risk factors for pneumonia in these children include anemia, hypoxemia, nutritional status, congestive heart failure, and neuromuscular disorders. This study aimed to determine the risk factors for pneumonia in children with CHD at the Dr. Zainoel Abidin Public Hospital, Banda Aceh, Indonesia. This analytical, observational study employed a cross-sectional approach. This study included children aged 1 month to 18 years who were treated at the Dr. Zainoel Abidin Public Hospital from January 2022 to December 2023. Data were collected from medical records of 121 children who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were analyzed using bivariate analysis with the chi-square test and multivariate analysis with logistic regression. Pneumonia was observed in 66 (54,5%) patients. The majority of children with critical illnesses who developed pneumonia were between 1 month and 5 years of age (60%), female (61,7%), had poor nutritional status (53,2%), and had a birth weight ≥ 2500 g (54,5%). The type of CHD was found to be a significant risk factor for pneumonia (p = 0,024), with an odds ratio of 3,16 (95% CI: 1,162–8,617). In conclusion, the CHD type is a risk factor for pneumonia in children with CHD.

Abstract

Obesity remains a significant nutritional issue in the pediatric population and is closely linked to metabolic disorders. According to the World Health Organization (2022), 160 million individuals aged 5–19 years are classified as obese.  This study aimed to evaluate the association between central obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in sports students. This cross-sectional study was conducted at Aceh Sports High School from May to August 2024, involving 43 students selected through simple random sampling. Although the sample size was relatively small, these findings offer valuable preliminary insights. The data collected included demographics, anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, and blood tests (glucose, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides). Central obesity was assessed using waist circumference and MS was evaluated based on the NCEP ATP III criteria. Data were analyzed descriptively, followed by the chi-square test. The majority of the participants were not at risk of MS (51,2%). However, chi-square analysis revealed a statistically significant association between waist circumference and MetS (p<0,001, OR = 3,75 95% CI = 2,072– 6,788). In conclusion, while most participants were not at risk of MetS, central obesity emerged as a strong predictor. These findings underscore the need for early screening and intervention, even in physically active adolescents.

Abstract

Adolescent athletes have a higher risk of dehydration than adult athletes do. This increased risk results from the greater absorption of environmental heat and heightened body heat, which affects electrolyte balance and oxygen saturation. This study aimed to analyze electrolyte values and oxygen saturation in students at SMA Keberbakatan Aceh in 2024 using an observational analytical approach with a cross-sectional design. A total of 43 respondents were selected for this study. The intensity of physical exercise was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) score,  of which two respondents had hyponatremia, 40 had normal sodium levels, and one respondent had hypernatremia related to the intensity of physical exercise (p= 0,381). Potassium levels were not significantly affected, as all 43 respondents had normal potassium levels (p= 0,740). Regarding chloride levels, one respondent had hypochloremia, 40 had normal levels, and two had hyperchloremia. While previous results showed no effect, exercise intensity was found to have a significant influence on respondents’ nutritional status (p= 0,034). All respondents maintained levels within normal limits in the assessment of oxygen saturation. Conclusion: Physical exercise intensity had no significant effect on serum electrolytes or oxygen saturation levels. However, a significant relationship was observed between the physical exercise intensity and nutritional status.
