Introduction: Malnutrition is the most widespread condition affecting the health of children [1]. As recent data shows higher malnutrition in children of urban area and little work has been done in this regard hence this study aims to estimate the magnitude and explore the socio-economic determinants of malnutrition among under -ve children of eld practicing area of UHTC. This would help in better understanding of the issue and future planning. Methods: This Community based, cross-sectional, observational study was done at Sushilpura area from July 2021 to October 2022.

Majorities (83.9%) were Hindus and were nuclear families (68.3%). Only 6.4 percent families were higher socioeconomic status while only 7.2% households were lowest socioeconomic status. Around one fourth subjects were from ST/SC categories. The prevalence of under nutrition was 56.4%. Overall stunting was about 35.3% with 4.2% of severe stunting; moreover about 21.1% had wasting with 5.6% of severe wasting. Sex, religion, caste, family size, socio economic status, livestock in house, ventilation of house, overcrowding were signicant factors associated with malnutrition.

IntroductionIndia is responsible for the second-highest maternal deaths and the greatest burden of stillbirths worldwide. The cost of intranatal services is an important determining factor, especially in developing countries like India. Most studies report the cost of delivery from the patient's perspective, but there is a lack of studies from the health system's perspective. This present study aimed to bridge this gap by estimating the overall and unit costs of various types of deliveries at a tertiary-level hospital in Rajasthan, India. MethodsThe cost estimation of intranatal services was conducted in a tertiary-level teaching hospital in Jaipur, Rajasthan. This cost analysis undertook the health system's perspective, using bottom-up costing methodology. Data on all the resources (capital/recurrent) used for the delivery of intranatal care from April 2020 to March 2021 were collected. Sensitivity analysis was done to account for any variability in cost components on overall intranatal service cost. ResultsThe annual cost of intranatal care services at the tertiary care hospital was INR 149,011,957 (USD 1,988,152). The unit cost per vaginal delivery was INR 8,244.4 (USD 109.9) and the unit cost per cesarean section was INR 10,696.2 (USD 142.7). Among various heads of expenditure, 'human resource' costs were predominant, accounting for 47.7% of the total costs, followed by 'building/space' and 'overhead' costs, accounting for 30.59% and 11.1%, respectively. ConclusionThe results may help plan and manage intra-natal care services in Rajasthan. Apart from the judicious utilization of resources, the findings of the study may also serve as a basis for future health economic studies.
