Background: Acute Lower Respiratory Tract Infection (ALRTI) is the leading cause of deaths in children under 5 years of age worldwide, and has high morbidity and mortality in children with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD). The objective of this study was to obtain the incidence, clinical characteristic, and outcome of ALRTI children with CHD. Methods: A retrospective hospital-based study was conducted from January 2007-December 2011 to medical record of child patients with ALRTI and CHD in the Department of Child Health of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung. The diagnosis of CHD was determined by echocardiography. The collected data was analyzed and presented in percentage shown in tables. Results : From 3,897 children who had ALRTI, there were 149 children with CHD (3.8%), with 11.4% of whom founded with recurrent episodes. This happened often in girls than boys with quite similar ratio of 1.37: 1.The majority of children (80%) was under 1 year old of age, 72.5% with malnutrition, and 24.8% with severe malnutrition. Clinical symptoms mostly found were difficulty of breathing (98%), fever (85.2%), cough (75.2%), and runny nose (63.1%). The most common types of CHD were Patent Ductus Arteriosus (47.6%), followed by Ventricular Septal Defect (47%). Bronchopneumonia (86.6%) was the common type of ALRTI. The length of stay was mostly less than 10 days (70.5%). From all the children 43.7% had complications, and 6.7% died. Conclusions: The ALRTI in children with CHD is not common and has good outcome. The majority for CHD lesions are Patent Ductus Arteriosus and Ventricular Septal Defect while for ALRTI is Bronchopneumonia.

Latar belakang. Penyakit jantung bawaan (PJB) merupakan faktor risiko terjadinya gangguan tumbuh kembang pada anak. Anak dengan PJB sianotik dan non-sianotik memiliki karakteristik klinis yang berbeda sehingga perkembangan dan pertumbuhannya juga berbeda. Tujuan. Mengetahui perbedaan perkembangan dan pertumbuhan anak dengan PJB sianotik dan non-sianotik. Metode. Penelitian berupa observasional potong lintang dengan subjek penelitian adalah anak dengan PJB usia 1–3 tahun yang datang ke pelayanan rawat jalan RSUP Dr. Hasan Sadikin pada bulan Agustus sampai Oktober 2018. Penilaian perkembangan menggunakan Ages and Stages Questionnaires-3 (ASQ-3) dan penilaian pertumbuhan dengan WHO growth chart standarts 2006. Analisis data dilakukan dengan uji hipotesis Chi-square. Hasil. Terdapat 86 subjek penelitian terdiri dari 46 perempuan dan 40 laki-laki, dengan 31 subjek merupakan PJB sianotik. Gangguan perkembangan motorik lebih banyak pada anak dengan penyakit jantung bawaan siaonotik (p<0,05). Gangguan perkembangan motroik kasar pada PJB non-sianotik dan sianotik yaitu 87,1% dan 43.6%, motorik halus yaitu 64,5% dan 38,2%. Tidak terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan pada pertumbuhan antara PJB sianotik dan non-sianotik.Kesimpulan. Gangguan perkembangan motorik kasar dan halus lebih banyak terjadi pada anak dengan PJB sianotik. Tidak terdapat perbedaan gangguan pertumbuhan pada anak dengan PJB sianotik dan non-sianotik.

Background:The alternative device to close perimembranous ventricular septal defect (pmVSD) has been searched for better result, less complications and applicable for infants. However, the ideal device is still unavailable. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and outcome of transcatheter pmVSD closure using the KONAR-multi functional occluder (MFO).Methods: Clinical, procedural, follow-up data of pmVSD patients with symptom of heart failure or evidence of significant left to right shunt, growth failure, recurrent respiratory tract infection, and history of endocarditis who underwent transcatheter closure using the MFO were prospectively evaluated. Results:Between January 2016 and December 2017, there were complete records of 132 pmVSD children closed using MFO from eleven centers in Indonesia. The median of age was 4.5 (0.3-17.4) years; weight 14.8 (3.5-57) kg, defect size at the smallest part 3.4 (1.0-8.1) mm, flow ratio 1.6 (1.3-4.9), mean pulmonary artery pressure 18 (7-79) mmHg, fluoroscopy time 18 (3.8-91) and procedural time 75 (26-290) minutes. A retrograde approach was done in 41 (31%) patients. Procedures succeeded in first 2 Kuswiyanto et al.
