This study had two objectives: (1) Assess the implementation of the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) Tier 2 case definition for NAS surveillance in Clark County, Nevada and (2) Identify risk factors for NAS.\u0000Subjects and Method: This study utilized hospital discharge data. Claim-based records from non-federal acute care hospitals located in Clark County during 2016-2022 were analyzed.  All newborn inpatient discharge records from January 1, 2016 to September 30, 2022 in Clark County, Nevada were selected.  ICD-10-CM codes were utilized based on the CSTE Tier 2 case definition. Any neonate record that met the case definition, including any record with the diagnosis code P96.1, was considered a NAS confirmed case. Codes for suspect cases, maternal history of substance use, unspecified maternal medication, and transmitted noxious-substances were also assessed. A multiple logistic regression model using backward stepwise selection was developed to find risk factors related to NAS-confirmed births.\u0000Results: In Clark County, Nevada, the NAS incidence rate from January 2016 to September 2022 was 7.4 per 1,000 births. In 2022 alone, the rate of NAS was 8.9 per 1,000 births. Estimated rates of NAS were highest among neonates who were White at 13 per 1,000 births. Hospital J, the largest academic medical center in Southern Nevada, had the highest NAS confirmed case rate at 11.3 per 1000 newborn hospitalizations. Results from the multiple logistic regression model showed the odds of being born with NAS among neonates who identified as White were 5.0 (OR=5.17; 95% CI= 4.29 to 6.24; p <0.001) times more likely to have NAS compared to the Hispanic group.\u0000Conclusion: Given that 2022 had the highest rate of confirmed NAS cases there is a need to collect substance and diagnosis-specific data about prenatal substance use to identify unmet service care and disparities.\u0000Keywords: neonatal abstinence syndrome, opioids, substance dependence.\u0000Correspondence: Cassius Lockett.

Pregnant women and children under five are groups of people who are very vulnerable to this problem. Many government programs have been implemented but to date there are still high maternal and infant mortality rates as well as high problems of malnutrition and stunting. This study aimed to determine what factors influence the nutritional status of toddlers in Rote Ndao Regency.\u0000Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in Rote Ndao Regency, Kupang, NTT, Indonesia, from August to November 2023. A total of 43 mothers who had children aged 12-59 months were selected for this study. The dependent variable was nutritional status (height for age/ HAZ). The independent variables were maternal knowledge on nutrition and stunting, history of infectious diseases, and local-food-based supplementary feeding. Supplementary feeding was measured using food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). Nutritional status was measured by height for age. The data were analyzed using a multiple linear regression.\u0000Results: Maternal nutritional knowledge (b= 0.37; 95% CI = 0.23 to 0.50; p = 0.001), no history of infection (b= 0.98; 95% CI= 0.72 to 1.24; p= 0.001), and local-food-based supplementary feeding (b= 1.33; 95% CI= 0.71 to 1.96; p= 0.001) positively and significantly increased nutritional status (height for age) in children under five.\u0000Conclusion: Maternal nutritional knowledge, no history of infection, and local-food-based suplementary feeding positively and significantly increase nutritional status (height for age) in children under five.\u0000Keywords: supplementary feeding, nutritional status, maternal knowledge, stunting\u0000Correspondence: Intje Picauly.

The number of samples was determined using simple random sampling. The number of samples was 45 respondents (15 rose aromatherapy, 15 jasmine aromatherapy, 15 control). Aromatherapy (1-3%) was given through diffuser for 30 minutes. Each respondent who had prolonged labor was given aromatherapy during first stage of labor, then the duration of labor was measured. The data was analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis test.\u0000Results: In the normality test by Shapiro-Wilk test, the value of p=0.006 (p<0.05), which means that the data is not normally distributed. Homogeneity test with the Lavene test yields p=0.044 (p<0.05) which indicates that the variance of data is not homogeneous. Then continued with the Kruskal-Walls test, it was found that there was no significant difference in the effectiveness of giving rose aromatherapy, jasmine aromatherapy and standard treatment on the duration of labor in women with prolonged labor (p=0.104).\u0000Conclusion: There was no significant difference in the labor duration in rose, jasmine and control groups.\u0000Keywords: Rose Aromatherapy, Jasmine Aromatherapy, Duration of Labor, First Stage of Labor\u0000Correspondence: Lilik Asmawati, Master of Applied Midwifery Poltekkes Kemenkes Semarang.
