Initial formative years in every children's life are critical for their optimal development, as these frame the foundation of future well-being. With a varied prevalence developmental delays (DDs) world and most studies representing hospital-based data. The present study was aimed to find risk factors DDs (domain wise) children aged 2 months 6 rural area North India.This cross-sectional which multistage random sampling technique used. From 30 Anganwadi centers, 450 months-6 were taken study....
ObjectivesIndia shares largest burden of congenital birth defects (CBDs) in the world. There is paucity data on CBDs our region country.MethodsThis was a hospital based observational study to find incidence, risk factors and outcome among live neonates.ResultsOf 7,075 babies, 92 had 124 CBDs, making incidence 1.3%. The system predominantly involved musculoskeletal (52.2%) followed by central nervous (28.3%), genitourinary (26.1%). Among single talipes equino varus (27.4%) commonest spina...
Background: Oral application of mother's own milk (MOM) in very low birth weight (VLBW) neonates may provide an effective method cleaning the oral cavity and influencing immunocompetent cells there. Methods: A double-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted a tertiary level neonatal unit on VLBW neonates; that is, with <1,500 g, hospitalized within 72 hours birth. The intervention care MOM. primary objective to observe effect MOM late onset sepsis (LOS) also mortality, days attain...
The mortality of neonatal pyogenic meningitis is reduced to 10–15%, but morbidity unchanged. Primary objective determine the outcome, i.e. death or abnormal neurological examination (NE) at discharge and developmental quotient (DQ) 3 months. Secondary find predictors poor outcome. In all, 89 neonates enrolled, 10 expired 24 had NE discharge. A total 59 came for follow up, 13 DQ < 70. Prolonged shock (odds ratio, OR: 8.28; p = 0.001), coma (OR: 4.3; seizures 14; 0.012), mechanical ventilation...
ObjectivesThe primary objective was to determine the outcome, in terms of mortality and development bilirubin encephalopathy, neonates with severe hyperbilirubinemia. The secondary possible risk factors for acute encephalopathy (ABE).MethodsConsecutive >35 weeks gestation admitted Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) a serum >20 mg% first 72 h life or >25 later were enrolled study. clinical demographic characteristics recorded. Neonates treated phototherapy exchange transfusion as...
Problem consideredThe gold standard for postnatal growth preterm neonates is their intrauterine standard. Extra uterine restriction (EUGR) implies weight less than minus 2 Z scores at discharge.1Clark R.H. Thomas P. Peabody J. Extrauterine remains a serious problem in prematurely born neonates.Pediatrics. 2003; 111: 986-990Crossref PubMed Scopus (414) Google ScholarMethodsA prospective observational study of admitted the level III neonatal unit tertiary care teaching hospital.

ObjectiveTo assess etiology, clinical profile, and outcome of pathological neonatal unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia, including various Rhesus (Rh) blood group incompatibilities.MethodsThis was a prospective observational study 200 neonates, with hyperbilirubinemia requiring phototherapy and/or exchange transfusion, presented at tertiary care unit during August 2011 to July 2012. Detailed history, physical examination, laboratory work-up were performed. In case, if major incompatibility found...
Objective: To assess immunization coverage in up to 23 mo old children with respect economic status and Knowledge, Attitude Practice of mothers regarding immunization. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted, including 125 who had aged grouped between 0-23 from 7 fully functional anganwadis. The data collected using a semi-structured questionnaire analyzed Microsoft Excel. chi-square test/Fisher exact test applied, results were presented the form tables. Findings compared against...
BackgroundStudies comparing serum bilirubin trend and hematological profile of neonates with hemolytic nonhemolytic etiology are limited. Apart from high load, they at increased risk developing anemia in early days life.MethodsA prospective observational study was conducted neonatal unit on late preterm term (>35 weeks) unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia (UH) to compare (initial peak), (hemoglobin [Hb] hematocrit [PCV]) 3 months), between non-hemolytic cases.ResultAmong 240 enrolled neonates,...
