“…Numerous previous studies have found higher prevalence of iron deficiency in obese children. [28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] Our findings show a lower level of serum iron and lower transferrin saturation in obese children than normal weight but do not reveal a significant deficiency of iron in obese children.…”

Objectives: To examine the association between obesity and iron status and the presence of iron deficiency anemia in children. Methods: This case-control study included 100 children between 2-14 years of age who were divided into two age- and sex- matched equal groups of 50 children each. Children with a body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 95th centile were categorized as obese while the other 50 children with a BMI greater than or equal to 5th centile but less than 95th centile were considered the normal weight group. Children with cardiac disease, liver disease, chronic gastrointestinal disease and chronic hematologic disorders except iron deficiency (with or without anemia) and those taking Vitamin or mineral supplements regularly during the previous year were excluded. Each participant was sent for serum iron, ferritin, total iron binding capacity (TIBC), transferrin saturation TS and complete blood count. Iron deficiency is defined as Transferrin Saturation (TS) lower than 16% and IDA is defined as TS lower than 16% and hemoglobin (Hb) concentration lower than 120 g/l or 12 mg/dl for children. The data were analyzed using SPSS-23 software and for all data normal distribution was tested so that P-value<0.05 is the level of threshold for statistical significance. Results: The gender distribution between the both group is reversed with male being more common in obese group but no statistical difference. The age distribution shows dominance of the age group 5-10 years in the both group with some differences which are of no statistical significance (P=0.294). The values of Hemoglobin, serum iron, serum ferritin, total iron binding capacity and transferrin saturation are obviously similar between the both genders of the whole study population with no statistically significant differences (P=0.084, 0.469, 0.48,0.4, 0.571 respectively). Obese children have higher level of Hemoglobin(P=0.069), Ferritin(P=0.5) and total iron binding capacity(P=0.449) but lower levels of serum iron (P =0.234) and transferrin saturation(P=0.45) but with no statistical significance. Conclusion: There is no significant association between obesity and iron status and the presence of iron deficiency anemia despite a lower level of serum iron and lower transferrin saturation in obese than normal weight children.

“…Children under the age of five are particularly at risk because of the rapid growth and development [5]. The prevalence of anemia worldwide is between 22.9-26.7% [1]. In our study; after migrants and those with chronic diseases were excluded, of the 5089 patients who applied to our outpatient clinic 22% had anemia.…”

“…Anemia is an important global public health problem that shows the socio-economic development of every nation and individual. The incidence of anemia worldwide is between 22.9-26.7%.The prevalence is over 40% in Turkey [1]. anemia is evaluated according to the mean erythrocyte volume (MCV) in three main headings: microcytic, macrocytic and normocytic anemia [2].…”

Aim: Anemia is an important public health problem that concerns human and community health. In this study, we aimed to determine the etiology of anemia in different age groups and create social awareness. Methods: The study (retrospective cohort study) included anemia patients between 6 months and 18 years old who applied to the Pediatric Hematology and Oncology Outpatient Clinic of KSU Medical Faculty between January 2015 and January 2018. Results: 1120 patients were included in the study. There were 873 with iron deficiency anemia, 184 with thalassemia minor, 25 with vitamin B12 deficiency anemia, 13 with autoimmune hemolytic anemia, 10 with hereditary spherocytosis and the other etiology of anemia. While 16.4% of all patients and 33.8% of patients aged 6-12 years had thalassemia minor. On the other side, 81.3% of patients aged 6 months-2 years, 74.3% of patients aged 2-6 years, 60.4% of patients aged 6-12 years and 85.0% of patients aged 12-18 years had iron-deficiency anemia. Iron deficiency anemia was common in males (60.2%) in the 2-6 years age group (P=0.002), but it was common in females (80.6%) in the 12-18 years age group (P<0.001). Conclusion: As a result of this study, it has been concluded that screening and iron supplementation should be done in societies at risk.

Jenis persalinan merupakan salah satu faktor penentu angka mortalitas dan morbiditas ibu dan anak. Secara statistik persalinan SC (sectio caesarean) meningkat sampai 60% disetiap fasilitas layanan kesehatan. Tujuan penelitain ini adalah mengetahui gambaran VBAC di RS KIA sadewa. Peneltian kuantitatif diambil secara restropektif dengan pendekatan deskriptif. Penelitian dilakukan bulan Mei-Juni 2018. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah ibu yang melahirkan secara VBAC pada tahun 2016-2017 dengan jumlah 67 responden. Kriteria inklusi penelitian yaituibu yang melahirkan secara spontan dengan riwayat SC pada persalinan sebelumnya dan mempunyai rekam medis. Kriteria eksklusi adalah data rekam medis yang tidak lengkap. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, usia responden adalah 20-35 tahun (86,6%) dengan tingkat pendidikan sarjana (46,3%), responden tidak bekerja sebesar 58,2%. Paritas resonden pernah hamil 2-3 kali sebanyak 94%, dengan jarak persalinan ≥ 2 tahun sebesar 97%, dan usia kehamilan saat datang yaitu aterm sebanyak 91%, pembukaan serviks <4 cm sebesar 83,6% dan kondisi selaput ketuban negative sebanyak 88,1%. Kesimpulan responden VBAC adalah mayoritas usia 20-35 tahun dengan tingkat pendidikan sarjana dan tidakbekerja. Pada paritas mayoritas pernah hamil 2-3 kali, jarak persalinan ≥ 2 tahun dengan kehamilan aterm. Pada saat datang pembukaan serviks <4 cm dan selaput ketuban negative.
