“…CHC restrict the flow of oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body (C.D.C., 2019). CHC increase risks for severe respiratory infection (Daurach & Michel-Behnke, 2019). In our study, there were 11 individuals with CHC, ranging in age from one to 15 years.…”

Objectives: Cribra orbitalia (CO) and porotic hyperostosis (PH) are porous cranial lesions (PCLs) classically associated with iron-deficiency anemia in bioarchaeological contexts. However, recent studies indicate a need to reassess the interpretation of PCLs. This study addresses the potential health correlates of PCLs in a contemporary sample by examining relationships between the known cause of death (COD) and PCL presence/absence. Methods: This study includes a sample of 461 juvenile individuals (6 months to 15 years of age) who underwent examination at the University of New Mexico's Office of the Medical Investigator between 2011 and 2019. The information available for each individual includes their sex, age at death, and their COD and manner of death. Results: Odds ratio of having CO (OR = 3.92, p < .01) or PH (OR = 2.86, p = .02) lesions are increased in individuals with respiratory infections. Individuals with heart conditions have increased odds of having CO (OR = 3.52, p = .03) lesions, but not PH. Conclusion: Individuals with respiratory infection are more likely to have CO and/or PH. CO appears to have a greater range of health correlates than PH does, as indicated by the heart condition results. However, individuals with congenital heart defects are at higher risk for respiratory infections, so bony alterations in cases of heart conditions may be due to respiratory illness. Since respiratory infection remains a leading cause of mortality today, CO and PH in bioarchaeological contexts should be considered as potential indicators of respiratory infections in the past.

Highlights:1. The incidence of respiratory tract infection (RTI) showed no difference between patients with cyanotic and acyanotic congenital heart disease (CHD).2. RTI patients with acyanotic CHD experienced longer hospital lengths of stay. AbstractIntroduction: Respiratory tract infection (RTI) is the leading cause of children mortality rate in the world. Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a common congenital disease that plays a role in RTI incidents. However, between the 2 types of CHD, which type that is more potential to cause the RTI is not well identified. The aim of this study was to compare the incidence and hospitalization time of RTI between 2 types of CHD and describe the profile of the patients based on gender, age, nutrition, and immunization status.Methods: This retrospective study identified the medical records of children with RTI and all types of CHD aged 0-18 years old at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya. The diagnosis of CHD was observed by echocardiography and RTI was observed by clinical symptoms.Results: Of 135 patients, the incidence of RTI showed no difference between a patient with cyanotic and acyanotic CHD. The majority of the patient was aged less than 3 years old (93.3%) and dominated by male patients (53.3%). The frequency of children with severe underweight and good nutritional status was equal. There were 85 patients who had incomplete immunization based on their age. The most common type of acyanotic CHD was an atrial septal defect (ASD). Cyanotic CHD was dominated by the tetralogy of Fallot (ToF). Pneumonia was the common type of RTI (108/135). RTI patients with acyanotic CHD had a longer time of hospitalization than cyanotic patients (11 days).Conclusion: This study found that RTI patients with acyanotic CHD experienced longer hospital lengths of stay.
