Abstract

Background: Birth asphyxia is a serious clinical problem that causes neonatal mortality and morbidity worldwide, Even though Ethiopia has made significant progress in lowering the under-five mortality rate, the neonatal mortality burden has not decreased significantly, which may be due to birth asphyxia. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to address this gap by assessing the prevalence of neonatal asphyxia and its associated factors among newborns in Addis Ababa public hospitals, Ethiopia. Subjects and Method: A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 683 live new­borns born at Addis Ababa public hospitals. Data were gathered through structured face-to-face interviews, questionnaire administration, and a systematic random sampling technique with proportional allocation. For statistical analysis, data were entered into Epi-data version 4.6 and exported to SPSS version 26. All variables with p-value ≤ 0.2 were taken into the multivariable model. A statistical significant level was declared at 95% CI and adjusted odds ratio (AOR) at a p <0.05. Results: The prevalence of birth asphyxia was 72 (10.6%) with a 95 % CI of (8.3 to 13.0). According to this study, birth asphyxia was significantly associated with the odds of newborns whose mothers were not educated (AOR= 8.09; 95 % CI= 1.63 to 40.19; p= 0.011), prolonged labor (AOR= 3.52; 95 % CI= 1.47 to 8.43; p= 0.005), ante-partum hemorrhage (AOR= 5.36, 95 % CI= 1.69 to 16.99; p= 0.004), preeclampsia (AOR= 5.09, 95 % CI= 2.09 to 12.47; p <0.001). Conclusion: Birth asphyxia was found in 10.6 % of neonates. Birth asphyxia was significantly predicted by the mother's educational level, complicated labor, and low birth weight.

Abstract

Background: Hormonal injectable contraceptives are the most common choice taken by women. The 3-month injection of contraception is DMPA, one of the most effective contraceptive methods currently used. Using injectable contraceptives, especially DMPA, influences fat metabolism, especially lipoproteins. Changes in fat metabolism cause disturbances in the balance of blood fat fractions (fluctuation of HDL, LDL and total cholesterol levels) due to hormonal influences.        Subjects and Method: Descriptive with an observational design study. Seventy-three women accepted injection contraceptive three months with a usage period of more than three years recorded in the Tlogosari Kulon Community Health Center. They were selected based on sample criteria, including inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria, where these criteria determine whether or not the sample can be used. The dependent was lipid profile (cholesterol, trigliceryd, LDL, HDL). The inde­pendent variables was contraceptive injections three months. There are seventy-three respondents. Results: The respondents in this study had 3-month injection contraceptive use of were less than the same as six years of use, namely 41 people, while for use more than the same as seven years there were 32 people and show that most of the research respondents had a lipid profile that was still within normal limits. For the cholesterol levels, 23% is normal, and 76% is abnormal, Trigliceryd level 66% is normal, and 34 % is abnormal. LDL levels 100% is normal, and for the HDL levels, 63% is normal, and 37% is abnormal. Conclusion: Most of the lipid profiles of respondents were normal. However, on cholesterol levels, respondents had more abnormal levels than normal, but for other lipid profiles (Trigliceryd, LDL, HDL), most respondents had normal levels.

Abstract

Background: A child's ability to achieve growth standards is determined by the adequacy of food intake. Malnutrition in toddlers increases the risk of stunting, which is a serious problem. Stunting is closely related to neurocognitive development, risk of non-communicable diseases, and decreased productivity. Appropriate complementary feeding is an important milestone in efforts to improve survival and promote healthier child growth and development and can significantly reduce stunting. This study aims to estimate the magnitude of the effect of poor complementary feeding practices on the incidence of stunting in toddlers using a meta-analysis study. Subjects and Method: The meta-analysis was carried out with the initial step of formulating the research problem using the PICO technique. The study population were children aged 6-59 months with poor complementary feeding, compare with good complementary feeding. The study outcome was stunting. Articles were selected from Google Scholar, PubMed, Springer Link, and Research Gate databases. The keywords used were "complementary Feeding practice" OR "meal frequency" OR "dietary diversity" AND "Stunting". The inclusion criteria were full text, observational studies, and the results reported in Adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR). Analysis of articles using RevMan 5.3. Results: A meta-analysis involved 16 articles. The results showed that the low variety of complemen­tary feeding increased the incidence of stunting 1.72 times compared to various types of complementary feeding (Aor= 1.72; 95% CI= 1.54 to 1.92; p < 0.001). Infrequent complementary feeding increased the incidence of stunting by 1.85 (aOR= 1.85; 95% CI 1.34 to 2.55; p <0.001). Conclusion: The diversity of types of complementary foods and low frequency of giving complementary foods increase the incidence of stunting in children aged 6-59 months. Keywords: complementary feeding practice, feeding frequency, food diversity, stunting. Correspondence: Isna Yuswella Babys. Master’s Program in Public Health Sciences, Universitas Sebelas Maret, Jl.
