Abstract

Background: With taking into consideration of the high cesarean section (CS) rate, the objectives of this study were to ascertain factors associated with and point out metamorphose complications with high CS rates in Bangladesh. Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study accounted for data collection from rural (196) and urban (241) women who gave birth to babies between 2005 and 2018 in Chattogram, Bangladesh. The study subjects were selected by using a systematic random sampling technique and the sample size was determined by using web-based Raosoft software. The delivery modes were dependent variables whereas influential factors and complications related to delivery were independent variables. The data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a pre-structured question­naire. The height and weight of the participants were measured by using a stadiometer and weighing machine respectively. Data analysis was done by using regression analysis. Results: The results divulged that mingling of relative influence and doctor’s profit-making tendency, obstetric factors, and demand from a family with higher socioeconomic status contributed to the recent increased cesarean rate in urban areas (41.5%). The distended abdomen in mothers (OR= 5.11, 95% CI= 2.98 to 8.76) was strongly associated with CS (p< 0.05), and back pain, and urinary incontinence were about one and half times higher in CS mothers. However, miscarriage and pelvic organ prolapse were associated with decreased risks of CS. Postnatal complications include cold fever (OR= 11.95, 95% CI= 7.02 to 20.35), and pneumonia (OR= 5.79; 95% CI= 2.71 to 12.36) were highly prevalent in children with cesarean delivery. Conclusion: Cesarean section has become alarmingly increased in urban rather than rural areas of Bangladesh in recent decays. Awareness-raising, doctor commitment, government policy, and strict monitoring of private health facilities are needed to control high rates of cesarean delivery. Keywords: cesarean delivery; vaginal delivery; demographic factors; obstetric factors; postpartum complications. Correspondence: Md.

Abstract

Background: Anemia in children and adolescents has an impact on central nervous system damage that can continue into adulthood. Some evidence states that one of the causes of anemia is vitamin D deficiency. This study aims to estimate the magnitude of the effect of vitamin D deficiency on the incidence of anemia in children and adolescents, through a meta-analysis of primary studies conducted by previous authors. Subjects and Method: This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis with the following PICO, population: children and adolescents, intervention: vitamin D deficiency, comparison: no vitamin D deficiency, outcome: anemia. The articles used in this study were obtained from three databases, namely PubMed, Google Scholar, and Science Direct, using the search key "Vitamin D" OR "25-Hydroxy Vitamin D" OR "25(OH)D" AND "Anemia" OR " Anemia". The included article is a full-text cross-sectional study design from 2010 to 2022 and reports the adjusted odds ratio (aOR) in multivariate analysis. The selection of articles is done using PRISMA flow diagrams. Articles were analyzed using the Review Manager 5.4 application. Results: A total of 9 cross-sectional studies involving 18,608 children and adolescents from the Americas and Asia were selected for meta-analysis. Children and adolescents with vitamin D deficiency had a risk of anemia 2.87 times compared to those without vitamin D deficiency (aOR= 2.87; 95% CI= 2.36 to 3.48; p<0.001). Conclusion: Vitamin D deficiency increases the risk of anemia in children and adolescents. Keywords: vitamin D deficiency, anemia, children, adolescents Correspondence:Bani Dianika.

Abstract

Background: Vitamin D deficiency is inversely related to blood pressure and may contribute to the genesis and maintenance of hypertension. However, in many clinical studies the relationship between vitamin D status and blood pressure has not shown consistent results. This study aims to analyze differences in vitamin D status in Madurese ethnic pregnant women with hypertension and non-hypertension. Subjects and Method: This research is an analytical observational design with a case control study. The target population in this study were pregnant women who came from the Madurese ethnicity. The affordable population is pregnant women who come from the Madurese ethnicity in the Work Area of the Bangkalan District Health Office. The study was conducted in the period from May 2018 to February 2020. The sampling technique used was consecutive sampling. The sample size was 105 pregnant women with hypertension and 105 controls. The independent variables included consumption of food sources of vitamin D and exposure to ultraviolet B rays. The dependent variable was vitamin D levels. Data on consumption of foods that were sources of vitamin D was obtained using the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). Data on exposure to ultraviolet B (UV B) rays were obtained by questionnaire. Data on vitamin D levels were obtained from the collection of blood serum which was then analyzed by ELISA Kit. Independent Sample T and chi square test were used to analyze the differences in variables between the two groups. Results: The mean value of vitamin D levels in the case and control groups were 37.87 ng/mL and 37.89 ng/mL, respectively. Subjects with vitamin D insufficient status were more in the case group (19.00%) than the control group (16.20%). The results showed that there was no significant difference between the two groups in vitamin D levels (p= 0.984) and vitamin D status (p= 0.587). Insufficient exposure to UV B provides a 3.95 times greater risk of experiencing insufficient vitamin D. Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that the role of vitamin D in the incidence of hypertension in pregnancy has not been determined.
