Background Central nervous system (CNS) infection affects the brain, and can cause cerebral edema, increased intracranial pressure (ICP), cerebral herniation, and death. Measurement of the optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) by ultrasound is a new, non–invasive examination to predict ICP, with high sensitivity and specificity.Objective To analyze for a possible association between ONSD measured by ultrasonographic examination and severity of CNS infection. Methods This cross–sectional study was performed in the Pediatric Department of Hasan Sadikin Hospital, Bandung, West Java. Subjects were chosen by consecutive sampling. We measured ONSD, examined clinical manifestations, as well as performed a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) study and imaging of CNS infection. Data analysis was done by paired T–test and one–way ANOVA, followed by Tukey test on significant variables. Results Subjects consisted of 32 children with CNS infection. The most common clinical symptoms were fever, decreased consciousness, and nuchal rigidity. Bivariate analysis revealed strong positive associations between ONSD and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), increased protein levels in CSF, and type of CNS infection. Conclusion Larger ONSD is significantly associated with lower GCS, increases CSF protein, and particular CNS infections. The ONSD is also associated with meningitis tuberculosis grade III, with a higher mean ONSD of both eyes compares to other CNS infections. Hence, the higher the ONSD, the more severe the degree of CNS infection.
背景 中枢神经系统(CNS)感染会影响大脑,可导致脑水肿、颅内压(ICP)升高、脑疝和死亡。通过超声波测量视神经鞘直径(ONSD)是一种预测 ICP 的新型无创检查方法,具有较高的灵敏度和特异性。 方法 该横断面研究在西爪哇省万隆市 Hasan Sadikin 医院儿科进行。研究对象通过连续抽样的方式选出。我们测量了ONSD,检查了临床表现,并进行了脑脊液(CSF)检查和中枢神经系统感染的影像学检查。数据分析采用配对 T 检验和单因素方差分析,重大变量采用 Tukey 检验。 结果 32 名儿童患有中枢神经系统感染。最常见的临床症状是发热、意识减退和颈部僵硬。双变量分析显示,ONSD与格拉斯哥昏迷量表(GCS)、CSF中蛋白质水平升高和中枢神经系统感染类型之间存在很强的正相关性。 结论 较大的 ONSD 与较低的 GCS、CSF 蛋白水平升高和特定的中枢神经系统感染有明显关联。ONSD 还与结核性脑膜炎 III 级相关,与其他中枢神经系统感染相比,双眼平均 ONSD 较高。因此,ONSD越高,中枢神经系统感染的程度就越严重。

Fetus in fetu is a rare congenital anomaly with fewer than 200 cases reported worldwide. It is a part of spectrum of anomalous embryogenesis. We report a case of an 18-month old boy with abdominal distension. Ultrasonography, X-ray, and computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a retroperitoneal mass suggestive of fetus in fetu. with evidence of organogenesis and a vertebral column, which differentiates it from an organized teratoma. The mass was resected in toto.

Background Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common cancer in children worldwide, which requires long treatment. This condition and its subsequent treatment change the body's physiology, reducing children’s quality of life. Objective To describe the quality of life in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in Java, Indonesia. Methods This descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach included parents who had children with ALL at three referral hospitals in Java, Indonesia, between January 2021 and May 2022. We recruited 188 mothers or fathers who accompanied their children for follow-up visits or hospitalization. Children’s quality of life as the primary outcome was evaluated by parent proxy using the PedsQL 3.0 cancer module. Results Most parents were mothers (81.9%); parents’ ages ranged from 22 to 59 years. The mean age of children was 7.63 (SD 3.85) years, with 63.3% boys and 147 (78.2%) treated in maintenance phase during the study. The mean overall children’s QoL score was 84.37 and it classified as high (73.9% of subjects), no children had very low QoL. The lowest mean sub-scale QoL score was in procedural anxiety (72.25), whereas the highest sub-scale score was in communication (91.56). Conclusion There is an improvement in QoL of children with ALL in Indonesia. However, the procedural anxiety sub-scale requires more interventions to reduce anxiety and alleviate pain during invasive procedures.

Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has become a global burden on the healthcare system and significantly impacts the quality of life of children with the condition. Objective To assess quality of life in children with CKD as well as its relationship with sociodemographic, medical, and psychosocial factors. Methods This cross-sectional analytic study was conducted from June to November 2021 at Dr. Moh Hoesin Hospital, Palembang. Children with CKD aged 2–18 years were included by consecutive sampling. Parents and patients were asked to complete the PedsQL™ generic score scale version 4.0 questionnaire. Results We assessed quality of life in 112 children with CKD from parents’ and children’s reports in the PedsQL™ questionnaire. Physical and emotional parameters had the lowest scores. Based on parental reports, quality of life was significantly associated with disease severity (P=0.002), behavioral disorders (P=0.007), and sleep disturbances (P=0.001). Based on the children’s reports, the factors significantly associated with quality of life were anemia (P=0.044), sleep disturbances (P=0.024), and behavioral disorders (P=0.002). Almost one-third of children with CKD had general impairment of quality of life, both from parental reports (32.1%) and children’s reports (33.0%). Conclusion Disease severity, anemia, sleep disturbance, and behavioral disorders were all associated with poorer quality of life in children with CKD.

Background Hypoalbuminemia and malnutrition are common factors that can adversely affect wound healing and increase the risk of postoperative infections. Improvements in albumin and preoperative nutritional status are expected to reduce the incidence of complications following postoperative abdominal surgery. Objective To evaluate the roles of hypoalbuminemia and poor preoperative nutritional status as prognostic factors for postoperative complications in pediatric patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. Methods This retrospective cohort study included pediatric patients aged 1 month to 18 years who underwent major abdominal surgery and were treated in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of Dr. Sardjito Hospital between January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2021. The primary was the incidence of postoperative complications within 14 days after the surgical procedure. Results Out of the 201 pediatric patients included in the study, 54.7% were male. We observed an overall complication rate of 21.3% following abdominal surgery, with sepsis as the most frequent, affecting 14.9% of the cases. On average, postoperative complications occurred approximately 10.9 days after surgery. Multivariate analysis identified severe acute malnutrition [hazard ratio (HR) 2.09 (95%CI 1.01 to 4.33); P=0.047], preoperative hypoalbuminemia of >2.5 to 3.0 g/dL [HR 3.64 (95%CI 1.57 to 8.41); P=0.003], preoperative hypoalbuminemia ?2.5 g/dL [HR 3.1 (95%CI 1.11 to 8.64); P=0.03], and age <1 year [HR 2.16 (95%CI 1.09 to 4.11); P=0.026] as significant prognostic factors for post-abdominal surgery complications in children. Conclusion Preoperative severe acute malnutrition and preoperative hypoalbuminemia of ?3 g/dL are significant prognostic factors for the occurrence of postoperative complications in pediatric patients undergoing abdominal surgery. Infants less than one year of age are at increased risk of such complications.

Background As both the prevalence and survival rates of cancer in children and adolescents has risen, longer-term effects of cancer treatment must be investigated. High-risk gonadotoxic chemotherapeutic agents such as cyclophosphamide may affect the ovarian reserve and impact female adolescent fertility. Anti-Mullerian hormone is a reliable marker to assess ovarian reserve. Objective To assess for a possible correlation between the cumulative dose of cyclophosphamide and serum anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels among adolescent cancer patients. Methods This cross-sectional study included 12-18-year-old adolescent female cancer patients who had experienced menarche and received cyclophosphamide therapy. We recorded the patients’ full history, including menstrual history, computed the cumulative dose of cyclophosphamide received, and measured serum AMH levels. The correlation test was performed to evaluate for a possible correlation between the cumulative dose of cyclophosphamide and ovarian reserve as represented by AMH levels. Results Out of 12 female adolescent cancer patients, three complained of disturbances in their menstrual cycles. Low levels of AMH (<1.5 ng/mL) were noted in five patients. Median cumulative cyclophosphamide dose was 1,000 mg/m2 (range 1,000 to 5,250 mg/m2). Cumulative cyclophosphamide dose was negatively correlated with serum AMH levels, but this correlation was not statistically significant (r=-0.316, P=0.318). Conclusion This study has not been able to show a correlation between cumulative cyclophosphamide dose and serum AMH level. Regular evaluation of fertility and involvement of fertility team is recommended in adolescents receiving high-risk gonadotoxic chemotherapeutic agents.

Background The first 5 years of life provide a foundation for neuroplastic development, which establishes the capacity to accomplish complicated tasks in later life. However, this period is vulnerable to multiple stressors and adversities that prevent children from achieving age-related developmental milestones. Mothers as primary caregivers may find it challenging to engage her child in stimulating activities. Objectives To understand maternal barriers to stimulating early childhood development and potential interventions that can be developed. Methods This explorative, qualitative study was conducted in 13 different service coverage areas of the Soasio Community Health Center (Puskesmas), Tidore Islands, North Maluku, Indonesia. A total of 30 mothers participated in structured interview sessions. The analysis was conducted inductively, by generating some key issues from the interview. Results Eight maternal barriers to engaging in child stimulation activities were found: (1) family members, (2) gender-related interaction, (3) partial understanding of child health-related information, (4) prioritizing one developmental achievement over others, (5) timidity in decision making, (6) delaying stimulation due to overreliance on the role of school, (7) responsive feeding, and (8) media. Maternal motivation, societal awareness of child development, and support of maternal and family mental health are needed to improve maternal engagement in child stimulation. Conclusions Family, community, and life experiences may become maternal barriers to stimulating childhood development. Providing better social support, information access, and woman empowerment in decision-making will help mothers to be more engaged in child development stimulation activities.

Background Serum calcium is at its lowest level within 24–48 hours after birth, rendering the neonate vulnerable to hypocalcemia. In our center, despite prophylactic administration of 200 mg/kg/day calcium gluconate, the prevalence of neonatal hypocalcemia remains high. Aim To determine the prophylactic efficacy of 400 vs. 200 mg/kg/day calcium gluconate in preventing neonatal hypocalcemia. Methods A randomized clinical trial with a pre- and post-test experimental design was done on neonates who fasted or received only minimal enteral feeding. Subjects were randomized to receive either 400 mg/kg/day (intervention group) or 200 mg/kg/day (control group) of intravenous calcium gluconate. We compared serum ionized calcium levels on the first day of admission before calcium gluconate administration and on the third day of hospitalization between the intervention and control groups. Results The median ionized calcium levels in the intervention vs. control group before calcium gluconate administration was 1.16 (range 0.4-2.4) mmol/L vs. 1.15 (range 0.6-4.5) mmol/L , respectively (P=0.561). After three days of calcium gluconate administration, the median ionized calcium level was 1.19 (range 0.7-1.45) mmol/L vs. 1.19 (range 0.68-4.6) mmol/L in the intervention vs. control group, respectively (P=0.828). The difference in pre- vs. post-administration ionized calcium levels was significant within the intervention group (P=0.032), but not within the control group (P=0.128). Conclusion Prophylactic intravenous calcium gluconate at 400 mg/kg/day was not more effective in preventing neonatal hypocalcemia than 200 mg/kg/day.

Aim To determine the prophylactic efficacy of 400 vs. 200 mg/kg/day calcium gluconate in preventing neonatal hypocalcemia. Methods A randomized clinical trial with a pre- and post-test experimental design was done on neonates who fasted or received only minimal enteral feeding.

Background A number of complementary educational feeding modules have been circulating in the community, but mothers have yet to use them optimally. There is an urgent need for an effective educational method on appropriate complementary feeding and an instrument to measure maternal knowledge in proper complementary feeding practices. Objective To develop and assess the validity and reliability of a questionnaire on complementary feeding practices. Methods We conducted a qualitative study to develop a questionnaire followed by a cross-sectional study to test the validity and the reliability of the PI-MPASI questionnaire. The research team designed the PI-MPASI questionnaire through a literature review with a team of experts, based on the evidence-based feeding practice recommendations for infants and toddlers in Indonesia as compiled by the Indonesian Pediatric Society (IPS) in 2015. Content validation was carried out through expert review, whilst the construct validity and the reliability were tested on 110 mothers who met the inclusion criteria. Results In the content validity assessment, an average congruent percentage of 90% was obtained for the sub-themes of time, nutritional adequacy, safety, and feeding responsiveness as the four essential points that mothers should know regarding proper complementary feeding practices. Most of the item scores showed moderate to high correlations with the total score, with reliability test showcasing a good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.715). Conclusion This study showed that our questionnaire on mothers’ knowledge in complementary feeding practices (PI-MPASI) is a valid and reliable instrument to assess maternal knowledge on correct complementary feeding practices in Indonesia.
