Abstract

Background: In this study, we aimed to reveal the characteristics and severities of child traumas under the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown according to trauma mechanisms, locations and age distributions, and to evaluate the results.Subjects and Method: The data of 333 pediatric trauma patients who came to our hospital during the lockdown period were analyzed retrospectively. The frequency and ratio analysis of the data obtained by the purposeful sampling method was performed. Pediatric Trauma Score, Injury Severity Score and Pediatric Glasgow Coma Scale were calculated. Gender, age distribution, trauma locations and trauma mechanisms were recorded, and distribution characteristics of the data according to trauma scores were compared. Continuous variables were analyzed using Student's t-test. Categorical variables were analyzed using the chi-square test. Statistical significance level was accepted as <0.05.Results:193 of the patients (58.0%) were male. The mean age of the patients was 7.73 (Mean= 7.73; SD= 5.33). The most common trauma patients (49.8%) consisted of the school age patients. The number of patients who applied to our hospital from the urban was 244 (73.3%), and it was observed that the trauma occurred at homeside in 189 (56.8%) patients. The most common cause of trauma was falls. The mean Pediatric Trauma Score of the patients was 10.43 (Mean= 10.43; SD= 1.28), the Injury Severity Score was 2.24 (Mean= 2.24; SD= 4.45), the Pediatric Glasgow Coma Scale calculated was 14.95 (Mean= 14.95; SD= 0.66). It was observed that 99.7% of the study patients according to the Injury Severity Score and 93.7% according to the Pediatric Trauma Score were minor trauma.Conclusion: Major childhood traumas and mortality decreased with the Covid 19 pandemic and lockdown.Keywords: Childhood, Covid-19, Pediatric Trauma Score, Injury Severity Score, Pediatric Glascow Coma ScaleCorrespondence:

Abstract

Background: : Childhood immunization with the interacting factors has been a significant public health challenge especially in the sub-Saharan Africa. Nigeria has been presented as one the countries with the worst under-five mortality rates, and factors affecting childhood immunization are poorly understood. This study determined the influence of maternal characteristics as a predictor of immunization status of under-five in Ebonyi State of Nigeria. Subjects and Method: The design in this study is cross-sectional survey. The population of the study was 572,955 under-five children in Ebonyi State from which 2865 was sampled. Data were analyzed using percentages and chi-square. Results: The results revealed that 83.01% of under-5 children were fully immunized, suggesting a high immunization status in Ebonyi State. The chi-square analysis shows a significant influence of mothers’ age (p < 0.05), mothers’ location of residence (p < 0.05), mothers’ educational level (p < 0.05) and immunization status of under-five children. Conclusion: It was concluded that immunization status of under-five children in Ebonyi State was high and maternal characteristics had significant influence on immunization status of under-five children. Thus, it was reco­mmended among others, that government at all levels should provide tangible incentives to mothers who fully immunized their children and promulgate a law to prevent children without immunization cards, also compel mothers, teachers to show full immunization of under-five children by registering in public and private primary schools.

Women with oligomenorrhea have menstrual intervals of more than 35 days and less than 90 days. Oligomenorrhea is common in adolescents, particularly 75% of women in late adolescence suffer from oligomenorrhea. The study aims to analyze the effect of BMI, psychological stress, and physical activity on the incidence of oligomenorrhea in young women in Yasinat Islamic Boarding School. Subjects and Method: This was an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design. The study sample was adolescents aged 17-19 years with a total of 82 students at Yasinat Islamic Boarding School. The dependent variable was oligomenorrhea. Independent variables were BMI, stress psychology, and physical activity. The study instrument was a questionnaire. The study data were analyzed using the Chi-Square. Results: BMI <18.5 kg/m2 and BMI >25 kg/m2 or 24.4% experienced oligomenor­rhea, 3.7% of subjects with light activity experienced oligomenorrhea, while subjects with physical activity of more than 40% experienced oligomenorrhea, 21.7 % of subjects with the normal category expe­rienced oligomenorrhea, 27.8% mild stress, 47.1% moderate stress experienced oligomenorrhea. BMI had a significant effect on oligomenorrhea (p= 0.006). Psychological stress (p= 0.227) and physical activity (p= 0.224) showed no significant influence on oligomenorrhea. Conclusion: There is a relationship between BMI and oligomenorrhea incidence. However, there is no relationship between psychological stress, physical activity, and oligomenorrhea.
