REVIEW ARTICLEnew problem. 3 Number of causative factors has been suggested. 4 With the revolution in the electronic equipment 5 there are varieties of computer based softwares to assist in making the lectures more presentable, interesting and interactive, thus making the traditional teaching effective. 6 Despite this development low attendance at lectures is still an issue. Absenteeism at higher education level affects the learning process of the students as well as the final result at the end of academic session. 7,8 Several studies identify internal and external factors associated with academic performance. Class absenteeism is one of the factor that has negative effect on the mastery of the academic curriculum. One of the most useful work done by Kelland et al 8 reported that a decrease in the examination result IntroductionOne of the most vital considerations among students in higher educational level is academic performance though there are some differences in performance among the students. 1 The goal of undergraduate medical education is to produce a physician with adequate knowledge of health and diseases, reasonable medical skills and a healthy attitude towards patients and their families. 2 Student attendance is thought to be an important factor in the academic performance of medical students on the basis that clinical contact and teaching are necessary to develop competence. Lectures remain one of the important modes of teaching in many medical colleges despite adaptation of new curriculum. It is easy to deliver knowledge through lecture to a large number of students and logistically saving resources. Low attendance in lectures is not a Absenteeism refers to the frequent absence from classes without any good reason. In spite of compulsory attendance rule, individual students, parents, institute and society suffer when students do not attend classes in medical college on regular basis. Student absenteeism is a concern in higher education especially medical education. Student's absenteeism results in inadequate learning and poor academic performance. Despite the strict rules, absenteeism is an on-going problem in many universities and a phenomenon that is also on the rise in universities worldwide. There is extensive literature on the link between absenteeism and lack of subject matter interest, poor teaching strategies, unfavorable learning environment,excessive socialization among students, part-time jobs, ill health, sleeplessness and poor relations with lecturers. In addition, accessibility of lecture content in the form of online slides, videos and audios has their own contribution to absenteeism. Early detection and prevention might prevent unwanted consequences of absenteeism on medical students' academic performance.Medical colleges should pay more attention and take immediate measures on those who starting to absent from classes because they might need support from them.

In Bangladesh, the prevalence of low birth weight (LBW) is unacceptably high. A cross sectional descriptive study was carried out during the period of June to September 2009 among the mothers whose babies were born in Bangladesh Medical College, a tertiary level hospital situated in Dhaka to assess the proportion of LBW babies. A total of 102 mothers were selected purposively whose babies were born within that period. A pre-tested structured questionnaire was used as research instrument and data were collected from them by face to face interviews. Results revealed that the proportion of LBW babies was 25.49% (n=26). The most of the LBW babies (30.77%) were identified whose average monthly family income was less than 5,000 taka. Among 26 LBW babies, 21 (80.77%) and only three (19.23%) were born before completing 37 weeks and after completing 37 weeks of the gestational period respectively. Significant association was found between LBW babies and family income (p<0.001), and between LBW babies and pre-term (p<0.0001). It is considered that the present findings of this study will not only help to take future interventions to combat the problem but also serve as a useful basis for future research and planning.
