Background: Stunting is a condition in which toddlers have less height according to their age. WHO reports that there are around 149.2 million toddlers experiencing stunting worldwide. This study aims to analyze and estimate the magnitude of the effect of exclusive breastfeeding, antenatal care visits, and maternal education level on the incidence of stunting among toddlers based on the results of similar previous studies. Subjects and Method: This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis using the PRISMA flow chart and the PICO model. Population: toddlers. Intervention: exclusive breastfeeding, the mother often visits antenatal care, and high maternal education. Comparison: not exclusive breastfeeding, mothers rarely visit antenatal care, and low maternal education. Outcome: stunting. The databases used were Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Elsevier, Scopus, SpringerLink, BioMed Central, PLOS ONE, and Emerald with the keywords (“Exclusive Breastfeeding” OR “Antenatal Care” OR “Mother's Education”) AND “Stunting” AND “Children” AND “aOR”. There were 15 cross-sectional studies published in 2013-2023 that met the inclusion criteria. Analysis data were RevMan 5.3. Results: A meta-analysis of 15 articles with a cross-sectional study design was carried out from Ethiopia, India, Tanzania, Rwanda, Pakistan and Indonesia in under-fives with a sample size of 285,221. The results of the meta-analysis showed that toddlers who were exclusively breastfed experienced stunting by 0.54 times compared to toddlers who were not exclusively breastfed (aOR= 0.54; 95% CI= 0.35 to 0.85; p<0.001), toddlers born to mothers who had frequent antenatal visits care experienced stunting by 0.81 times compared to toddlers born to mothers who rarely visited antenatal care (aOR= 0.81; 95% CI= 0.72 to 0.90; p= 0.001), and toddlers born to mothers with higher education experienced stunting by 0.72 times compared to toddlers born to mothers with low education (aOR= 0.72; 95% CI=0.61 to 0.86; p=0.003). Conclusion: Toddlers who get exclusive breastfeeding, mothers who often visit antenatal care, and a high level of maternal education can reduce the risk of stunting in toddlers. Keywords: Exclusive breastfeeding, antenatal care, maternal education, stunting.

Background:Exposure to Toxoplasma gondiiinfection is prevalent in up to 90% of the world’s human population. Severe infections can be fatal and deforming in neonates, with cats serving as reservoirs for T. gondii infections. The objective of this study was to determine the seroprevalenceof Toxoplasma gondiiinfection and its associated risk factors among pregnant women in the middle belt of Ghana. Subjects and Method:This was a cross-sectional study involving 266pregnant women from two health facilities in the middle belt of Ghana. A structured questionnaire was administered to the participants to gather information on exposure to the associated infection risk factors and demo-graphy. In addition, 3ml of venous blood was collected from each participant for anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgG/IgM antibody analyses. Results:A total of 64.3% of the study population had been exposed, whiles 26.3% were actively infected, being seropositive respectively to anti-Toxoplasma gondii IgG/IgM antibodies. In both districts, significant differences were recorded between anti-T. gondiiIgG and IgM seroprevalences (95% CI= 0.00to 0.02; p<0.001). There was no statistical difference observed between the participants’ mean antibody concentration levels and age (95% CI= 0.74to 0.85; p=0.637)as well as the stage of pregnancy (95%CI= 0.38to 0.43; p= 0.127). Also, no strong association (OR<0.6) was found between seropositivity and the suspected risk factors assessed in the study. Conclusion:The study showed that the seroprevalence of T. gondiiinfection among pregnant women visiting the two health facilities in the two regions was higher compared to the 30%-65% reported as the global population infection status. This study provides baseline data for future studies in other Districts and Regions in the country to ascertain the overall seroprevalence in Ghana and also push for a national programme/policy for routine clinical screening of toxoplasmosis in pregnant women. Keywords:seroprevalence,Toxoplasma gondii, pregnant women, anti-T. gondii IgG/IgM antibodies.

Background:Weight gain during pregnancy is related to optimizing health for both mother and baby. In addition, the increase in pregnancy weight is also an important indicator of maternal nutri-tion fulfillment during pregnancy and is a good measure to monitor fetal growth. This study aims to estimate the average effect of inadequate gestational weight gain on the risk of low birth weight and small for gestational age. Subjects and Method: This was a systematic review and meta-analysis with PRISMA guideline and PICO model. Population: pregnant women.Intervention: inadequate gestational weight gain. Comparison: normal gestational weight gain. Outcome: low birth weight and small for gestational age. Online databases used are PubMed, SpringerLink, Scopus, and ProQuest with the keywords "Gestational Weight Gain" OR “Inadequate Weight Gain" AND "Low Birth Weight" OR "Birth Weight Infant” OR “Pregnancy Outcomes" AND "Small Gestational Age" AND"Multivariate" AND "Cohort". There were 19 cohort studies published in 2013-2022 that met the inclusion criteria. The analysis was conducted using the Review Manager 5.3 application. Results:Meta-analysis using 19 cohort studies showed that pregnant women with inadequate weight gain had a risk of giving birth to infants with low birth weight 1.94 times compared to those with normal gestational weight (aOR= 1.94; CI 95%=1.74 to 2.16; p<0.001) and pregnant women with inadequate gestational weight gain had 1.69 times higherrisk of giving birth to infants with small for gestational age than those with normal gestational weight (aOR= 1.69;95%CI= 1.55 to 1.85; p<0.001). Conclusion: Inadequate gestational weight gain increases the risk of low birth weight and small for gestational age.

Background: Hypothermia in newborns continues to be a significant issue and a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. The incidence of hypothermia in referral newborns is still high during hospital admission. Subjects and Method: This is a prospective cohort study conducted at Dr. Moewardi Hospital. Data collection was carried out on January 1, 2015, until March 31, 2015, for referred newborns. The dependent variable was mortality and the independent variables included gestational age, birth weight, sepsis, severe respiratory distress, and temperature at the time of admission at the ER. The chi-square test and logistic regression were used to analyze the data, with a cut-off value of p<0.05 cut off and a confidence interval of 95%. Results: There were 56 newborn referrals, with 60.7% incidence of hypothermia and 19.6% inci-dence with mortality. From the chi-square analysis, the variable of gestational age and weight did not meet the requirements of multivariate analysis (p> 0.25). The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed a non-significant association between severe respiratory distress and mortality in referred newborns (OR= 5.25; 95% CI= 0.89 to 30.82; p= 0.066). After performing multivariate logistic regression analysis to obtain controlled ORs, there was a significant relationship between newborn referrals mortality and temperature at the time of ER admission (OR= 8.75; 95% CI= 1.07 to 3.26; p= 0.047) and sepsis (OR= 6.25; 95% CI= 150 to 28.69; p= 0.012) with mortality of referred newborns. Conclusion: The incidence of hypothermic referred newborns is high. Hypothermia during admission at the ER and sepsis are both associated with increased mortality in referred newborns. Keywords: newborns, hypothermia, mortality.

Background: Infant sleep biology and maternal intuition challenge the idea of behavioral sleep training being authoritative knowledge in Western society. Behavioral sleep training may increase stress levels in postpartum mothers who feel conflicted and wish to use alternative methods. The aim of this study was to determine whether having access to infant sleep education improves maternal mental health. Subjects and Method: A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design using web-based surveys was used to assess the impact of a three-week virtual infant sleep education program on the dependent variables of depression outcomes and consolidated infant sleep. The target population were postpartum women between the age of 18 and 50. Sample size was 18 subjects were recruited through convenience and criterion sampling. Pre-tests and post-tests included nominal questions, Likert scale items, and the Edinburg Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Analysis included difference analyses, Shaprio-Wilk normality checks, Spearman’s rho and Bayes factor bounds. Results: The average improvement on the EPDS was a decrease of 1.89 points, 95% CI= -∞ to 0.11; p= 0.116), VS-MPR = 1.47, with the highest magnitude of improvements in domains regarding feelings of failure if their baby does not sleep through the night (r= 0.78; 95% CI= 0.40 to ∞; p= 0.012, desire to sleep train (r= 0.50; 95% CI = -0.10 to ∞; p= 0.091) and decreased feelings of self-blame (r= 0.34; 95% CI= -0.13 to ∞; p = 0.080). Conclusion: Sleep education can be beneficial in reducing stress related to infant sleep and feelings of failure as a parent in postpartum women. Keywords: behavioral training, maternal mental health, sleep education, postpartum depression.

Background: A child's ability to achieve growth standards is determined by the adequacy of food intake. Malnutrition in toddlers increases the risk of stunting, which is a serious problem. Stunting is closely related to neurocognitive development, risk of non-communicable diseases, and decreased productivity. Appropriate complementary feeding is an important milestone in efforts to improve survival and promote healthier child growth and development and can significantly reduce stunting. This study aims to estimate the magnitude of the effect of poor complementary feeding practices on the incidence of stunting in toddlers using a meta-analysis study. Subjects and Method: The meta-analysis was carried out with the initial step of formulating the research problem using the PICO technique. The study population were children aged 6-59 months with poor complementary feeding, compare with good complementary feeding. The study outcome was stunting. Articles were selected from Google Scholar, PubMed, Springer Link, and Research Gate databases. The keywords used were "complementary Feeding practice" OR "meal frequency" OR "dietary diversity" AND "Stunting". The inclusion criteria were full text, observational studies, and the results reported in Adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR). Analysis of articles using RevMan 5.3. Results: A meta-analysis involved 16 articles. The results showed that the low variety of complementary feeding increased the incidence of stunting 1.72 times compared to various types of complementary feeding (Aor= 1.72; 95% CI= 1.54 to 1.92; p < 0.001). Infrequent complementary feeding increased the incidence of stunting by 1.85 (aOR= 1.85; 95% CI 1.34 to 2.55; p <0.001). Conclusion: The diversity of types of complementary foods and low frequency of giving complementary foods increase the incidence of stunting in children aged 6-59 months.

Rahardjo","doi":"10.26911/thejmch.2022.07.04.10","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26911/thejmch.2022.07.04.10","url":null,"abstract":"Background: A child's ability to achieve growth standards is determined by the adequacy of food intake. Malnutrition in toddlers increases the risk of stunting, which is a serious problem. Stunting is closely related to neurocognitive development, risk of non-communicable diseases, and decreased productivity. Appropriate complementary feeding is an important milestone in efforts to improve survival and promote healthier child growth and development and can significantly reduce stunting. This study aims to estimate the magnitude of the effect of poor complementary feeding practices on the incidence of stunting in toddlers using a meta-analysis study. Subjects and Method: The meta-analysis was carried out with the initial step of formulating the research problem using the PICO technique. The study population were children aged 6-59 months with poor complementary feeding, compare with good complementary feeding. The study outcome was stunting. Articles were selected from Google Scholar, PubMed, Springer Link, and Research Gate databases. The keywords used were \"complementary Feeding practice\" OR \"meal frequency\" OR \"dietary diversity\" AND \"Stunting\". The inclusion criteria were full text, observational studies, and the results reported in Adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR). Analysis of articles using RevMan 5.3. Results: A meta-analysis involved 16 articles. The results showed that the low variety of complementary feeding increased the incidence of stunting 1.72 times compared to various types of complementary feeding (Aor= 1.72; 95% CI= 1.54 to 1.92; p < 0.001). Infrequent complementary feeding increased the incidence of stunting by 1.85 (aOR= 1.85; 95% CI 1.34 to 2.55; p <0.001). Conclusion: The diversity of types of complementary foods and low frequency of giving complementary foods increase the incidence of stunting in children aged 6-59 months.","PeriodicalId":84894,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of maternal and child health : official publication of Indian Maternal and Child Health Association","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80823183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background: The development of screening methods for infertility patients during the Coronavirus-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic provides new challenges in the adaptation of children's want programs in the era of the COVID-19pandemic. Several screening methods have been developed but various factors affect the awareness of couples to want to do COVID-19 screening. This study aimed to analyze biopsychosocial factors associated with awareness of COVID-19 screening in infertile couples. Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study conducted at The Sekar Polyclinic of Dr. Moewardi Regional General Hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic. A number of 60 infertile couple of reproductive age who underwent the ART program was selected by random sampling. The dependent variable was awareness for COVID-19 screening. The independent variables were anxiety, knowledge, age, and length of infertility. The data were obtained from medical record and questionnaire and analyzed by a multiple logistic regression.
