This retrospective cross-sectional multicentric study investigated antibiotic prescribing patterns in pediatric wards of 4 secondary care hospitals affiliated with Aga Khan University Hospital. The study utilized the WHO Access, Watch, and Reserve (AWaRe) classification framework. Data from 6934 encounters were analyzed. Results. Antibiotics were prescribed in 78.1% of encounters, with intravenous administration being predominant (98.6%). Ceftriaxone was the most prescribed antibiotic agent (45.8%), and third-generation cephalosporins constituted the most prevalent antibiotic class (54.4%). Pneumonia exhibited the highest prescription rate (99.9%), with Watch group antibiotics being predominantly prescribed (>80%) across hospitals. Conclusion.

Early neonatal mortality remains a significant public health challenge in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study is designed to investigate the magnitude and underlying factors associated with early neonatal mortality among infants admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Hiwot Fana Specialized University Hospital in Eastern Ethiopia. Methods. an institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted from November 20 to December 20, 2021, by reviewing the medical records of 432 neonates admitted from September 11, 2018, to September 10, 2021. Data were cleaned, entered into Epi Data 3.1, and analyzed using Stata 15. Bivariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were employed with statistical significance set at a P-value <.05. Results. The study found that the magnitude of early neonatal mortality was 10.6% (95% CI: 8.06, 13.94). The primary contributors to early neonatal mortality was early onset neonatal sepsis (56%), preterm birth (52.2%), and perinatal asphyxia (32.6%). Notably, early onset neonatal sepsis (Adjusted Odds Ratio [AOR] = 2.31, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.06, 5.05), respiratory distress syndrome (AOR = 3.98, 95% CI: 1.97, 8.05), and low birth weight (AOR = 3.70, 95% CI: 1.67, 8.18) were independently associated with early neonatal mortality. Conclusion. The study focuses on the significance of early neonatal mortality in Ethiopia, with key factors such as early onset neonatal sepsis, respiratory distress syndrome, and low birth weight contributing to this issue. The advancements in preventive interventions and early management of high-risk neonates offer promise in reducing early neonatal deaths.","PeriodicalId":12576,"journal":{"name":"Global Pediatric Health","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11503702/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142498589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our subjects included 6 lead newborn physicians from major birthing centers in Kathmandu. A modified Delphi process was used to identify the top 5 key practice standards for newborn thermoregulation in the hospital, health post, and home, compiled from 14 World Health Organization recommended practices. Results. There was consensus in all ranked practices except using radiant heat sources in the hospital and performing Kangaroo Mother Care in the homebirths.
