ABSTRACTObjectiveDespite emerging evidence of the detrimental effects of natural disasters on maternal and child health, little is known about exposure to tornadoes during the prenatal period and its impact on birth outcomes. We examined the relationship between prenatal exposure to the spring 2011 tornado outbreak in Alabama and Joplin (Missouri) and adverse birth outcomes.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective, cross-sectional cohort study using the 2010-2012 linked infant births and deaths data set from the National Center for Health Statistics for tornado-affected counties in Alabama (n=126,453) and Missouri (Joplin, n=6,897). Chi-square and logistic regression analyses were performed to estimate associations between prenatal exposure to tornadoes and birth outcomes.ResultsPrenatal exposure to the tornado incidents did not influence birth weight outcomes. Women exposed to Alabama tornadoes were less likely to have a preterm birth compared to unexposed mothers (OR: 0.93, 95% CI: 0.91, 0.96). Preterm births among Joplin-tornado exposed mothers were slightly higher (13%) compared with unexposed mothers (11.2%). Exposed mothers from Joplin were also more likely to have a cesarean section compared to their counterparts (OR: 1.14, 95% CI: 1.02, 1.26).ConclusionsWe found no association between tornado exposure and adverse birth weight and infant mortality rates. Our findings suggest that prenatal exposure can amplify the odds for a cesarean section. (Disaster Med Public Health Preparedness. 2019;13:279–286)

Pendahuluan: Pada usia balita seseorang lebih sering terkena penyakit dibandingkan orang dewasa. Hal ini disebabkan sistem pertahanan tubuh pada balita terhadap penyakit infeksi masih dalam tahap perkembangan dan mudah untuk terkena penyakit dan salah satunya adalah Infeksi Saluran Pernapasan Akut (ISPA) yang merupakan penyakit menular melalui udara yang sering terjadi pada anak dan menjadi salah satu penyebab kematian tersering pada anak di dunia. Salah satu faktor yang dapat menyebabkan terjadinya ISPA pada balita ialah berat badan lahir rendah dan status imunisasi. Berdasarkan data wilayah kerjapuskesmas Tanjung Baru pada periode Januari-Desember 2018 menyebutkan bahwa sebanyak 150 balita yang menderita ISPA. Tujuan penelitian: untuk mengetahui hubungan Berat Badan Lahir Rendah dan Status imunisasi lengkap dengan kejadian ISPA di Wilayah Kerja UPTD Puskesmas Tanjung Baru Ogan Komering Ulu. Metode Penelitian: yaitu analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional dengan populasi adalah ibu di UPTD Puskesmas Tanjung Baru Kabupaten OKU yang berjumlah 53 orang, analisa data dengan uji statistik Chi-Square, dengan derajat kepercayaan 95%. Didapatkan Ada hubungan yang bermakna antara berat badan lahir rendah dengan kejadian ISPA dengan p value 0,011 < 0,050. Serta ada hubungan yang bermakna antara Status Imunisasi dengan Kejadian ISPAdengan p value 0,016 < 0,05.   At the age of a toddler a person is more often affected by the disease than an adult. This is due to the body's defense system in infants against infectious diseases that are still in the developmental stages and are easy to contract the disease and one of them is Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) which is an infectious disease through the air that often occurs in children and is one of the most common causes of death in children. child in the world. One of the factors that can cause ARI in infants is low birth weight and immunization status. Based on data from the Tanjung Baru puskesmas in the January-December 2018 period, 150 150 toddlers suffer from ARI. This study aims to determine the relationship between low birth weight and complete immunization status with the incidence of ARI in the working area of the UPTD Puskesmas Tanjung Baru, East Baturaja Subdistrict, Ogan Komering Ulu Regency in 2019. The method used is analytic with cross sectional approach and the population is mothers with children under five. and have KMS in UPTD Puskesmas Tanjung Baru OKU Regency, totaling 53 people. Which was analyzed by Chi-Square statistical test, with 95% confidence level. There was a significant relationship between low birth weight with the incidence of ARI with p value 0.011 <0.050. And there is a significant relationship between Immunization Status and the incidence of ARI with p value 0.016 <0.05.

The study aimed to examine the relationship between the gender of newborn with weight gained during pregnancy, mode of delivery and some parameters for newborn. This study used a descriptive and cross-sectional research design. A total of 632 women who gave birth in the postpartum service at a hospital were included in the study. The data were collected using a participant information form prepared by the researcher. Chi-square test and independent sample t-test were used to analyze the data. This study found that the mean pregnancy number and whether the current pregnancy was planned or not were higher for the women whose newborn babies were girls than for those whose newborn babies were boys, and that the mean birth weight of newborn girls was lower than that of newborn boys (p<0.05). No statistically significant relationship was found between the gender of newborn babies and the weight gained during pregnancy, mode of delivery, APGAR score, the time of beginning breastfeeding and giving supplementary food to the newborn babies (p>0.05). This study found that the gender of newborn affected their birth weight and is a determinant factor for the fertility rate of women. In these cases against girls, careful attention of health professionals is needed to ensure continuous and different victimization, close attention to risky couples, is recommended for the development of women's health.Extended English abstract is in the end of PDF (TURKISH) file. ÖzetAraştırma, yenidoğanın cinsiyetinin gebelikte kazanılan kilo, doğum şekli ve yenidoğanın bazı parametreleri ile ilişkisini incelemek amacıyla yapıldı. Araştırma tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tiptedir. Araştırmaya bir hastanenin postpartum servisinde doğum yapan 632 kadın alındı. Veriler araştırmacı tarafından hazırlanan katılımcı bilgi formu aracılığıyla toplandı. İstatistiksel analizde ki-kare testi, independent sample t testi analizi kullanıldı. Araştırmada, kız yenidoğana sahip olan kadınların ortalama gebelik sayısı ve mevcut gebeliğin planlı olma durumu erkek yenidoğana sahip olanlara göre daha yüksek (p<0.05); kız yenidoğanların ortalama doğum kilosunun ise erkeklere oranla daha düşük olduğu saptandı (p<0.05). Araştırmada yenidoğanın cinsiyeti ile gebelikte kazanılan kilo, doğum şekli, APGAR skor, emzirmeye başlama zamanı ve yenidoğana ilk 24 saat içinde ek gıda verilmesi arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmamıştır (p>0.05).

Introduction: The nutritional status of pregnant women has a significant impact on the fetus's health and development. Low birth weight can be caused by womb growth problems. Research in Nepal shows that babies with low birth weight have a higher risk of becoming stunted. West Sulawesi is the most populous province in Central Indonesia, with a population of 39.7%. In Mamuju District, West Sulawesi, the relationship between stunted babies and maternal nutritional status during pregnancy was investigated. Methods: Cross sectional analytic survey with a retrospective approach. Data processing using the chi square test. The population in this study was 20.039 people. Total sampling was used to collect nutritional status data of children under the age of five in West Sulawesi province from February to June 2020. In this study, 88 people were sampled, all of whom were mothers of stunted children aged 2 to 5 Years old and who had a KIA book during pregnancy. Results: The results of statistical tests showed that the p value of nutritional status with BMI and LILA 0.000 and the p value of HB levels 0.066. There was a link between pregnant women's nutritional status and LILA, but not between HB levels and stunting. Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that there is a relationship between the nutritional status of pregnant women based on BMI and LILA and the incidence of stunting in Mamuju Regency, West Sulawesi Province.

Introduction: Sexual antagonism is seen particularly where maternally and paternally derived alleles battle over fetal growth, which may result in sex differences regarding birth weight of babies. We examined the association between sex and birth weight of babies in the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital. Materials and Methods: One hundred babies selected by systematic random sampling had their birth weights determined using bassinet weighing scale. Likelihood ratio chi-square test of association was used to investigate the relationship between sex and birth weight. Results: A total of 100 babies participated in this study. There were 53 (53.0 %) males and 47 (47.0 %) females giving a male to female ratio of 1.1:1. Majority of the babies 82 (82.0 %) had normal birth weight (2500 – 3900 g). The mean (SD) birth weight for male and female babies were 313 (62), 95 CI (296 – 330 g), and 290 (055), 95 CI (275 – 307 g) respectively. The overall mean (SD) birth weight of the babies was 302 (0.59), 95 CI (291 – 314 g). Association between birth weight and sex of the babies was found to be significant (χ2 = 9.317, p = 0.025). Conclusion: Birth weight was significantly associated with sex: males had higher birth weights than females. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jnps.v33i1.7090 J Nepal Paediatr Soc. 2013;33(1):21-24.

The major objective of this study was to measure the association between various interventions and Chitral Gole National Park (CGNP) role in preservation of bio-diversity and socio-economic uplift. A sample size of 346 respondents was randomly selected from total population of 3326 from the 4 selected villages on the basis of close proximity. A conceptual framework including dependent variable social development and independent variable tourism development were taken. The data were analyzed through frequency and percentage distribution. Moreover, Chi-square test was applied to know the relationship between dependent and independent variables at bi-variate level. In bi-variate analysis a highly significant (P=0.000) relation was found between CGNP is main source of promoting tourism in Chitral,tourists do any impacts upon local community in terms of increased business activities, local culture is safeguarded despite influx of tourists in the area, tourism produced employment opportunities, and social development. Qualitative data supported the empirical findings, however tourism brings economic opportunities at micro and macro level, but unfortunately CGNP is not as satisfactory regarding generating income since its establishment. The government should ensure to make such polices pertaining to the entrance fee, provides accommodation services on payment to the tourists and to reserve the entrance fee or any other form of taxes to ensure CGNP to spend on self-sustaining basis by ensuring refinement in the procedures as well.
