PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to determine the factors influencing the decrease of the vaccination rate among children with nonprogressive neurodevelopmental disorders in Bosnia and Herzegovina. METHODS: This study included 149 parents of children with nonprogressive neurodevelopmental disorders. The children were rehabilitated at the University Clinical Hospital Mostar, from October 2017 to February 2019. RESULTS: The vaccination rate of children with nonprogressive neurodevelopmental disorders was 34.9%(P <  0.001). Based on the results of this study, physicians were the most common source of information on vaccines and vaccination procedures for parents (70.3%), whereas the media was rarely used as the source of the information (33%) (P <  0.001). Of the cases, 58.4%accepted the opinion of the pediatrician (P = 0.041). The vaccination of children was postponed on the physician’s recommendation in 87.6%of the cases (P <  0.001). Among healthcare professionals, neuropediatricians or neurophysiatrists (P = 0.023), together with pediatricians (P <  0.001), most often suggested postponing the vaccination. CONCLUSION: Overall, this study showed that the majority of children with nonprogressive neurodevelopmental disorders were unvaccinated. The majority of the parents trusted the physicians’ opinion on vaccination. Neuropediatricians and neurophysiatrists most often postponed the regular vaccination of children.

The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is still progressing and has been recorded in more than 210 countries and territories worldwide. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the first cases of COVID-19 were detected on 5th of March 2020 in the entity of Republic of Srpska and 9th of March 2020 in the entity of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Up until the 16th of May 2020, more than 2,200 COVID-19 cases were recorded in both entities, with a mortality rate of 5.8% (131 out of 2231 cases). The aim of this ongoing study is to present the current epidemiological and sociodemographic parameters of 380 COVID-19 patients diagnosed at the University Clinical Hospital Mostar (UCH Mostar) during the first two months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Out of 380 patients, 60 (15.8%) of them required hospitalization. The mortality rate was 5% (19/380). The highest mortality rate of 15.2% (12/79) was recorded in the patients age ≥65 years. In addition to this single-centre experience of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we discuss the epidemiological measures imposed in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with emphasis on the restrictive ones. The COVID-19 pandemic is still ongoing in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Introduction. Dietary supplements, being concentrated sources of vitamins, minerals and other substances with nutritional and physiological effects, are products that supplement the normal diet. The aim of this study was to determine the use, attitudes and knowledge on dietary supplements among students of the University of Nis, paying special attention to differences in responses between male and female students. Material and Methods. The study used the original questionnaire which was distributed to 330 students from the University of Nis. The sample was stratified by school, year of study and sex. Out of 330 questionnaires, 301 were classified as correct and they were further analyzed. Results. Dietary supplements were used by 68.10% of the respondents. Females used dietary supplements more than males. Two or more products were most commonly used. Multivitamins were the most widely used products. The majority of respondents adhered to the declaration (77.07%). A small number had health damage (2.93%). More than half of the students stated that they were not properly informed about dietary supplements. The most common source of information was the media and friends. Conclusion. Health professionals and users of dietary supplements should be educated better on the use of these products in order to make the supplement use safe, controlled and rational.
