Abstract

Background Infants born small for gestational age (SGA) have an increased risk of developmental delay. The influence of catch-up growth on developmental function remains unknown.Objective To compare the development of SGA children with and without catch-up growth.Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study in Manado from March to July 2013. Subjects were children aged 2-3 years, that born SGA from March 2010 to June 2011 in Prof. Dr. R.D. Kandou Hospital. Catch-up growth was defined as height-for-age more than -2SD on the 2006 WHO growth chart, and subjects were classified into the with and without catch-up growth groups. Developmental status was assessed using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) 3rd edition, through interviews with parents. We compared the developmental status between the with and without catch-up growth groups used Mann-Whitney test with a significance level of P < 0.05.Results Of the 112 SGA children, 66 (58.9%) had catch-up growth and 46 (41.1%) did not. The SGA children with catch up growth had significant better development performances of gross motor, fine motor, and problem solving. The mean ASQ centiles of the with and without catch-up groups were 55.15 (SD 7.843) [95%CI 53.52 to 57.08] and 48.80 (SD 11.264) [95%CI 45.46 to 52.15] in gross motor, respectively; 42.5 (SD 13.163) [95%CI 39.26 to 45.74] and 32.93 (SD 14.475) [95%CI 28.64 to 37.23] in fine motor, respectively; 46.74 (SD 13.112) [95%CI 43.52 to 49.97] and 40.98 (SD 11.480) [95%CI 37.57 to 44.39] in problem solving, respectively.Conclusion Small for gestational age children with catch-up growth have significantly better gross motor, fine motor, and problem-solving performance than those without catch-up growth.

Abstract

Background Neonatal sepsis is a clinical syndrome caused by the invasion of microorganisms into the bloodstream. Early diagnosis of early-onset neonatal sepsis (EONS) is difficult. Laboratory tests with high sensitivity and specificity are needed in order to make early diagnoses in newborns.Objective To compare the sensitivity and specificity of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and immature to total (IT) neutrophil ratio for the diagnosis of early-onset neonatal sepsis.Methods This observational study with cross-sectional design was conducted in the Neonatology Division, Prof. R. D. Kandou General Hospital from November 2012 to April 2014. Consecutive sampling was applied. There were 103 newborns with suspected EONS who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Complete blood counts, blood cultures, as well as NGAL and IT ratio measurements were performed.Results NGAL was not significantly more sensitive than IT ratio [80.4% vs. 67.3%, respectively; (P=0.058)]. However, NGAL had lower specificity than IT ratio (27.7% vs. 50.0%, respectively; P=0.016). The positive predictive values (57.0% vs. 64.9%, respectively; P=0.176), and negative predictive values (54.2% vs. 52.6%, respectively; P=0.451) were similar in both diagnostic tests.Conclusion Immature to total neutrophil (IT) ratio has higher specificity compared to NGAL for early diagnosis of EONS. However, the difference in sensitivity between the two test is not statistically significant.

Abstract

Background Neonatal sepsis is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in neonates. Exposure to maternal bacteria during pregnancy or delivery allows for colonization of the normal upper airway. Such bacteria become the major ecological species in the infant. If the colonizing bacteria invade the bloodstream, early-onset neonatal sepsis (EONS) could occur. Objective To evaluate for an association between colonization of the newborn nasopharynx and EONS, as well as for agreement between nasopharyngeal swab culture and blood culture isolate results. Methods This prospective cohort study was conducted in Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo General Hospital and Ibnu Sina Hospital, Makassar, South Sulawesi. Nasopharyngeal swab culture was taken within 2 hours of life from newborns who met the inclusion criteria, then they were followed up for signs of EONS. Blood culture was taken from subject with EONS. Results Of the 100 newborns, 69 (69%) had nasopharyngeal bacterial colonization, of whom 5.8% (4/69) experienced EONS. Of the remaining 31 (31%) without colonization, 9.7% (3/31) experienced EONS. There was no significant difference in frequency of EONS between newborns with and without nasopharyngeal colonization. Although Gram-negative bacteria were predominant among colonized newborns, there was no significant difference to numbers of Gram-positive bacteria as a causative agent of EONS. Only one patient with EONS had the same bacterial species in both the nasopharynx and blood culture isolate. Conclusion Newborn nasopharyngeal colonization at birth is not associated with EONS.
