Background: Children are categorized as short stature when the Height for Age results are below the 3rd percentile of CDC growth chart standard. Short stature on children will have an impact on increased mortality and morbidity, children's cognitive development, and psychological abilities. This study aims to investigate the effect of short stature on cognitive abilities and psychosocial condition of primary school children. Subjects and Method:A cross-sectional study was conducted at Pasar Kliwon 01 Primary School, Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia. A total of 81 students from 3rd -5th grades of were selected by consecutive sampling. The dependent variables were cognitive ability and psychosocial condition. The independent variable was body height. Body height was measured by microtoise. Cognitive ability was assessed based on mathematics, Indonesian language, and natural sciences score. Psycho-social condition was assessed using Pediatric Symptom Checklist-17. The data were analyzed by a multiple logistic regression. Results: Short stature increased cognitive ability (OR= 2.86; 95% CI= 1.03 to 7.92; p= 0.043), and it was statistically significant. Short stature increased psychosocial condition, (OR= 2.24; 95% CI= 0.51 to 9.70; p= 0.279), but it was statistically non-significant. Conclusion: Short stature increases cognitive ability and psychosocial condition.

Results. From 359 children with dengue infection, there were 41 patients suffered from dengue fever, 306 patients suffered from dengue hemorrhagic fever, and 12 patient suffered from dengue shock syndrome. 182 patients were boys and 177 patients were girls. 132 patients were 0-5 years old group and 227 patients were >5-18 years old group. Ninety cases were happened in dry season and 269 cases were happened in rainy season. All cases showed positive NS1. Conclusion. From 359 subject, the most case is dengue hemorrhagic fever , that happened in boys with the most common age group is >5-18 years old, and in rainy season. Sari Pediatri 2016;17(5):379-83.

Latar belakang. Kemoterapi pada leukemia limfoblastik akut (LLA) memiliki berbagai efek samping. Toksisitas dapat menyebabkan penundaan kemoterapi dan mempengaruhi hasil pengobatan. pada negara maju kesintasan pasien LLA cukup baik namun berbeda di negara berkembang. Tujuan. membuktikan apakah toksisitas kemoterapi hematologi fase konsolidasi mempengaruhi kesintasan pasien LLA anak. Metode. Pasien berusia 1 bulan – 18 tahun yang terdiagnosis LLA dan telah menjalani kemoterapi fase konsolidasi di RSUD Dr. Moewardi Surakarta pada periode bulan Januari 2017 – September 2019 diikutkan dalam penelitian. Data rekam medis tidak lengkap dan pasien down sindrom dieksklusi. Toksisitas kemoterapi hematologi fase konsolidasi dinilai pada setiap subjek berdasarkan kriteria NCI-CTCAE. Kesintasan dan Hazard rasio diperkirakan menggunakan metode Kaplan-Meier dan cox regression. Analisis multivariat regresi cox model interaksi digunakan untuk menganalisa faktor yang paling menentukan kesintasan.Hasil. Sejumlah 46 subjek diikutsertakan dalam penelitian. Toksisitas derajat ringan-sedang (derajat 1-2) sebanyak 34 (73,9%) derajat berat (derajat 3-4) sebanyak 12 (25,6%). Analisis Kaplan Meier menunjukkan tidak terdapat pengaruh antara toksisitas kemoterapi hematologi fase konsolidasi derajat ringan-sedang vs derajat berat dengan kesintasan selama 3 tahun (64% vs 41% p=0,163, HR 1,941, dan IK 0,764-4.934). Melalui analisis multivariat diperoleh derajat toksisitas merupakan faktor prognostik independen yang memengaruhi terhadap kesintasan (p=0,163, HR 1,941) Kesimpulan. Toksisitas kemoterapi hematologi fase konsolidasi tidak memengaruhi kesintasan 3 tahun pada pasien LLA anak.

Latar belakang. Infeksi merupakan penyebab utama kematian ketiga pada bayi baru lahir setelah komplikasi prematuritas dan asfiksia. Pemberian antibiotik empiris yang sama, baik pada neonatal aterm maupun neonatal preterm, dan penggunaan antibiotik empiris yang tetap dalam 10 tahun terakhir, maka dilakukan penelitian prospektif untuk menganalisis usia gestasi sebagai prediktor keberhasilan terapi antibiotik empiris pada infeksi neonatorum.Tujuan. Menganalisis usia gestasi sebagai prediktor keberhasilan terapi antibiotik empiris pada infeksi neonatorum.Metode. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kohort prospektif dengan pendekatan uji prognostik. Penelitian dilakukan di High Care Unit (HCU) Neonatus RSUD Dr. Moewardi Surakarta pada bulan April - Desember 2021. Nama pasien, usia gestasi, jenis kelamin, metode persalinan, berat badan lahir, asupan ASI, hasil kultur darah, jenis antibiotik dan terapi suportif dicatat. Uji chi square dilanjutkan dengan uji multivariat regresi logistik digunakan untuk menganalisis data.Hasil. Dari 146 neonatal infeksi, didapatkan 75 neonatal aterm dan 71 neonatal preterm. Kedua kelompok mendapatkan terapi antibiotik empiris. Analisis multivariat regresi logistik menunjukkan hasil usia gestasi dengan nilai p=0,001, terapi suportif dengan nilai p=0,090 dan kewaspadaan isolasi dengan nilai p=0,010. Usia gestasi aterm didapatkan hasil paling signifikan dengan nilai p=0,001 dan odds rasio 0,289 (IK 95%, 0,137 – 0,612).Kesimpulan. Usia gestasi merupakan prediktor keberhasilan terapi antibiotik empiris pada infeksi neonatorum.
