Abstract

Background: Preterm birth, defined as delivery between 24 and 37 weeks of gestation, remains a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Specific Background: It can occur spontaneously or due to medical indications, with risk factors ranging from maternal age and infections to obstetric history. Knowledge Gap: Despite global recognition of these risks, limited data exist on the specific contributing factors in localized hospital settings within developing regions. Aims: This study aimed to identify the predominant factors associated with preterm birth among pregnant women at Bint Huda Hospital. Results: Among 80 women who experienced preterm birth, the majority were aged 20–30 years (66.3%), had primary education (70%), and lived in urban areas (55%). Urinary tract infection emerged as the most significant risk factor (82.5%), followed by premature membrane rupture (27.5%), preeclampsia (25%), and a history of previous preterm birth (25%). Most participants were multiparous (63.8%) and had received good antenatal care (85%). Cesarean section was the dominant mode of delivery (60%). Novelty: This study highlights the prominence of infections, especially urinary tract infections, over traditionally emphasized factors like maternal age or multiple gestations. Implications: The findings underscore the importance of targeted infection prevention and antenatal surveillance to reduce preterm birth rates in similar populations.Highlights: Urinary tract infection is the most prevalent risk factor. Most preterm births occurred in women with good antenatal care. Cesarean section was the leading mode of delivery. Keywords: Preterm Birth, Risk Factors, Urinary Tract Infection, Antenatal Care, Cesarean Delivery

Abstract

General Background: Fuzzy estimation plays a vital role in enhancing the precision of statistical inference under uncertainty, particularly in reliability theory. Specific Background: Classical estimators often struggle with mixed probability distributions involving both continuous and vague components. Knowledge Gap: Despite the theoretical relevance, limited comparative analysis exists on fuzzy estimators within hybrid exponential-gamma models under varied risk functions. Aim: This study aims to derive and compare various fuzzy estimators for the risk function of a mixed continuous distribution formed by combining the exponential (θ) and Gamma (2,θ) distributions, with mixing proportions β/(β+1) and 1/(β+1), respectively. Results: We derive the corresponding probability density function (pdf), cumulative distribution function (CDF), reliability, and hazard functions. A fuzzy vagueness factor (k̃) is introduced into the hazard equation, and the r-th raw moment [μ′(r)] is formulated. Parameters θ and β are estimated via maximum likelihood, moments, and frequency ratio methods. Novelty: The integration of fuzzy theory into hazard modeling for a quasi-Lindley framework, coupled with comprehensive estimator comparison, offers novel insights. Implications: The findings enhance reliability analysis under fuzzy environments, enabling more robust decision-making in engineering and survival analysis contexts. Highlights: Introduces fuzzy estimation in hazard function modeling. Compares three estimation methods for mixed distributions. Derives complete reliability metrics from a hybrid model. Keywords: Maximum Likelihood, Moment Estimation, Fuzzy Estimator, Hazard Rate, Quasi-Lindley Distribution

Abstract

Background: Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Klebsiella pneumoniae is a major causative agent of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and represents a growing therapeutic challenge, particularly in immunocompromised patients. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of MDR in K. pneumoniae isolates from immunocompromised patients with UTIs. Methods: Urine samples were collected from 597 immunocompromised patients with UTIs. K. pneumoniae was isolated and identified, and the isolates were subjected to susceptibility testing against 25 antibiotics. Results: Fifty-two (12.2%) K. pneumoniae isolates were isolated from 427 positive urine samples. The results showed a high prevalence of MDR (73.1%) with specific resistance patterns associated with certain antibiotic classes. The relationship between MDR and patient demographic and clinical variables was also analyzed, and statistically significant associations were found between the presence of the pattern and length of hospital stay (P=0.0238), prolonged infection duration (P=0.0026), use of indwelling urinary catheter (P= 0.0014), and history of antibiotic treatment (P = 0.0019). Conclusion: The prevalence of MDR K. pneumoniae was higher in immunocompromised patients, and its occurrence was associated with a longer length of stay, prolonged infection, catheter use, and a history of antibiotic treatment. Highlights: 73.1% of K. pneumoniae isolates were multidrug-resistant. MDR linked to longer hospital stays, catheter use, and prior antibiotics. Serious concern for treating UTIs in vulnerable patients. Keywords: Multidrug Resistance, Klebsiella Pneumoniae, Urinary Tract Infection, Immunocompromised Patients, Antibiotic Resistance
