Objective: This study aims to assess the prevalence of anemia and associated factors among pregnant women at Bahir Dar city administration, Northwest Ethiopia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in public health facilities of Bahir Dar city from May to July 2014 on 480 pregnant women. Mothers who came for ANC during the study period and who met the inclusion criteria were interviewed. Hemoglobin level determination was assessed following the standard procedures. Socio-demographic, obstetrics, medical history and nutrition related data was collected using a pretested structured questionnaire. Data were collected by trained health workers and coded and cleaned. The data were entered and analyzed by using SPSS version 16.0 software. Bivaraite and multivariate regression analysis were done to assess the association between outcome and independent variables. Significance level of 0.05 was considered. Result : The overall prevalence of anemia in this study population was 18.3%. Fifty one anemic cases (10.6%) showed mild type of anemia followed by moderate anemia 33 (6.9%) and the remaining 4 (0.8%) were having severe anemia. Gravidity (AOR=2.1, 95% CI: 1.1-4.1), trimester of pregnancy (AOR=2.9, 95% CI: 1.1-7.7), history of abortion (AOR=4.9, CI: 2.4-10.2) and history of ante partum hemorrhage (AOR=2.6, 95% CI: 1.1-6.6) had statistically significant association with anemia in pregnant women. Conclusion : In the present study, the prevalence of anemia was relatively low. Gravidity, trimester of pregnancy, history of abortion and antepartum hemorrhage are the main contributing factors for anemia.","PeriodicalId":87313,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pregnancy and child health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70310928","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}

Behaviors of mother are also associated with numerous interrelating socio-economic and cultural factors and physical environment. The study aim was to assess different behaviors of mothers while pregnant and childbirth. Methods: Cross-sectional survey was carried out in between July 2016 to June 2017. Data was collected from 255 mothers, who attended to give birth in Helping Hands Community Hospital, Kathmandu, by using interview schedule with face-to-face interview. Descriptive analysis was done and presented in the form of percentage, chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test. Results: In this study, minimum age of 18 years and maximum 41 years mothers with the mean (standard deviation) age was ± 23.35 years. Among the total women, 98% received ANC service while pregnant and 96% received Tetanus Toxoid vaccine. Among the total women, 8.2% of pregnancies were unwanted and in total, about 20% of women band the food items while pregnant. Among the respondents who delivered previous baby, only 70.4% gave birth with assistant of health workers, doctors or nurses. Nearly half of the women (48.5%) preferred home delivery in previous pregnancy and about 86% had more than 2 years gap between previous and current pregnancies. Education status and TT vaccine injected by mothers showed significant difference (Fisher’s exact test=0.001, 0<0.05), where as education in relation to ANC checkup, band food items, wanted pregnancy, rest during pregnancy, preference of place for delivery found insignificant. Conclusion: Mothers’ behaviors like ANC visit, receiving TT injection during pregnancy, food beliefs, choosing place of delivery are the important factors for the outcome of the health of both mother and child. *Corresponding author: Arun Kumar Koirala, Department of Health and Allied Sciences, Pokhara University, Pokhara, Nepal, Tel: +9779849264178; E-mail: arunkoirala@gmail.com Received: September 08, 2018; Accepted: October 15, 2018; Published: October 22, 2018 Citation: Koirala AK (2018) Mothers’ Behaviors in Relation to Pregnancy and Childbirth in Kathmandu, Nepal-A Hospital Based Study.

Adem, Hiwot Berhanu, Daniel Geleta","doi":"10.4172/2376-127X.1000374","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4172/2376-127X.1000374","url":null,"abstract":"Introduction: Globally 60% of the infant and young child death occurs due to the inappropriate infants feeding practices and infectious diseases from which two-thirds of the deaths are attributable to sub-optimal breastfeeding practices. In Ethiopia, sub-optimal breastfeeding was annually contributed to 70,000 infant mortalities. Therefore, the current study aimed to assess breastfeeding practices among children aged 0-23 months. Methods: Community-based cross-sectional study was conducted from July 18-31, 2017. A systematic random sampling technique was used to select mothers (n=421) with index age child. Data was collected on socio-demographic characteristics and breastfeeding practices through face to face interview using World Health Organization’s breastfeeding assessment criteria. The collected data were entered into and analyzed by statistical software SPSS version 20 and tested for significance at 0.05. Finally, results were presented using tables and figures. Results: The study depicted all participant infants have ever breastfed at some point in their life. The proportions of infants and young children who put on the breast early and fed colostrum were 58.4% and 52.4% in respective order while the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding practice reported 57%. Complementary food was introduced at exactly 6 months for 34.5% of infants. The higher proportions of young children were continued breastfeeding at the age of 1year (87%) and 2 years (62.5%). Similarly, about sixty-eight (68.2%) of infants were fed breast ≥ 8 times in 24 hours. On the other hand, 41.8% of mothers practiced bottle feeding and 76.7% reduced child feeding frequency when their child got ill. Finally, early initiation of breastfeeding(X2=5.9, P=0.01) and bottle feeding (X2=3.7, P=0.03) were demonstrated significance with child sex. Conclusion: Breastfeeding practice is relatively not at the better rim among the current study community. Therefore, the scaling up of breastfeeding practice should be the imminent assignment for service providing health facilities in the area. Further, it is missive to local government to form a coalition with breastfeeding partners and community to improve optimal breastfeeding practices.","PeriodicalId":87313,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pregnancy and child health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2376-127X.1000374","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70310624","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}

Materials and Method: A retrospective review of all prenatally diagnosed CCAM cases from 1995 to 2017 at a perinatal referral center in Mexico City was conducted. Results: Twenty-seven cases were identified. Mean gestational age at the time of diagnosis was 26.5 weeks. According to Stocker ́s classification, there were eight type 1 (29.6%), ten type 2 (30%) and nine type 3 (33.4%) cases. No bilateral lesions were found. Hydrops was observed in two cases (7.4%). Lesion dimensions remained stable throughout gestation in most cases (63%), ultrasonographic regression was observed in nine fetuses (33.3%). There were no elective pregnancy terminations. Fetal demise was reported in two cases. Mean gestational age at birth was 37.1 weeks. Most newborns required only usual neonatal care. After birth, two cases showed progressive deterioration which lead to early neonatal death. Conclusion: CCAM is a relatively rare abnormality of lung development, which can be accurately diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound. Conservative management is appropriate in most cases, with a favorable outcome and a chance of regression of up to one-third of the cases.","PeriodicalId":87313,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pregnancy and child health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2376-127x.1000387","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70310841","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}

All of her children were exposed to buprenorphine during pregnancy and they all appear healthy and have met normal developmental milestones. As such, a case can be built supporting the notion that the use of opioid maintenance treatment at the time of conception and during pregnancy is not likely to have negative effects on pregnant women or newborns. In this case, measurements such as the week of delivery, birth weight, height, umbilical acid-base balance and neurodevelopment were unaffected. Thus, the prognosis of using Buprenorphine during pregnancy is favourable. Medical professionals should be advised about the benefits of opioid maintenance treatment in pregnancy and educated about the potential results related to this treatment.","PeriodicalId":87313,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pregnancy and child health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.4172/2376-127x.1000389","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70310881","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}

To address this gap, a cross-sectional household survey was carried out among 7,182 households. The aim of the survey was to assess the status of MNCH in select districts of Iraq where the Iraq Every Newborn Action plan is to be Implemented, and to investigate sociodemographic disparities in MNCH outcomes and service coverage. We used two-stage cluster sampling, selected 25 primary sampling units with probability proportional to size, and sampled 24 households per sampling unit in 12 districts. The total number of women included in the analysis were 7,222. The under-five mortality rate calculated was 37 deaths per 1000 live births and the neonatal mortality was 23 deaths per 1000 live births, accounting for more than half of under-five deaths. Prevalence of adolescent childbearing was high. More than half (54%) of women 15-19 years of age had a live birth at the time of the survey, and one tenth of these women had a live birth before age 15. Multivariable analysis revealed that non-use of Ante-Natal Care (ANC) was highest among women who had low educational attainment compared to women with higher education (Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR)=4.31, 95% Confidence Interval (CI)=(1.70-10.87), women who belonged to the poorest wealth quintile compared to richest women (AOR=1.80, 95% CI=1.07-3.01), and was lowest among those less than 20 years old compared to older women (AOR=0.34, 95% CI=0.17-0.71). Similar differentials were found for quality of ANC. Additionally, across the sample, 41% of mothers experienced skin-to-skin contact with newborn and that proportion varied based on sociodemographic characteristics. The proportion of women who initiated early breastfeeding was only 33% and the poorest women were almost three times more likely to initiate breastfeeding early compared to the richest women. We hypothesize that this could be due to access of affluent women to infant formula. Our findings provide an in-depth and updated picture of the MNCH situation in select districts of Iraq and highlight the need to target interventions to rural, uneducated, and poor women. *Corresponding author: SM Moazzem Hossain, Chief of Health and Nutrition, United Nations Children’s Fund, Iraq, Tel: +9647809258540; E-mail: smhossain@unicef.org Received: September 21, 2018; Accepted: October 17, 2018; Published: October 24, 2018 Citation: Moazzem Hossain SM, Ibrahim S, Al-Harun A, Muhammad S, Oudah K, et al.
