No doubt providing the human body with the proper dietary substances, especially in early life, has a considerable effect on long-term health and development. This study aimed to provide growth references for height and weight for infants from 6 to 12 months of age in Khartoum State, Sudan. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Khartoum state on 419 infants between 6 and 12 months of age. The height and weight of these infants were measured for each month separately. This method was implemented to develop growth charts of the National Centre for Health Statistics/World Health Organisation. The mean weight and height of males included in this study were more than females. The mean height and weight of male and female infants in this study were below the reference height and weight of the same age group in the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This is a pilot study, which revealed a difference in height and weight of infants from 6 to 12 months of age in Khartoum State compared to a similar age group of those in the CDC. However, further larger-sized studies are needed.","PeriodicalId":74884,"journal":{"name":"Sudanese journal of paediatrics","volume":"22 2","pages":"147-155"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9983773/pdf/sjp-22-147.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10849697","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}

In this cross-sectional study, an Arabic-translated version of the standard diabetes-specific QoL questionnaire (PedsQL™ version 3.0) was used to compare perceptions of QoL during Ramadan month (Rm) versus non-Rm (NRm) of parents of children/adolescents with T1D from two tertiary hospitals in Riyadh. We used regression analysis to compare proxies (parents' reports) of their perceptions on their children/adolescents' QoL during Rm compared to NRm. A sample of 61 proxies (parents') of two age groups T1D offspring: 8-12 years (41%) and 13-18 years (59%) who reported their perceptions of their children/adolescents QoL during Rm were matched by children/adolescents' age and gender of 61 proxies in NRm. QoL scores of all domains were significantly lower in Rm compared to NRm; p < 0.0001, however, worries domain showed no statistical differences p = 0.052 in a regression analysis. The total aggregate median (IQR) in Rm was 850 (612-1,062) compared to 1,750 (1,475-2,062) in NRm, p < 0.001. The highest differences in NRm and Rm median scores were observed in communications (OR = 3.64; 95% CI 2.7-5.57) and treatment adherence (OR = 3.09; 95% CI 2.48-3.84) domains especially in the age of 13-18 years. Parents of adolescent boys, who are usually risk-takers and more exposed to outdoor activities, perceived lower QoL for them. Parents of adolescents with T1D perceived a lower QoL for their children during RF, especially in the treatment adherence and communication domains.","PeriodicalId":74884,"journal":{"name":"Sudanese journal of paediatrics","volume":"22 2","pages":"138-146"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9983772/pdf/sjp-22-138.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10849699","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}

Nosocomial acquisition of gastroenteritis results in a significant economic burden. We aim to determine gastroenteritis frequency, disease severity, nosocomial acquisition and clinical spectrum in our region for 2016-2017.Methods: This is a prospective study of all children up to 3 years of age who presented to Mayo University Hospital with vomiting and diarrhoea, from 18 November 2016 to 18 November 2017. All children had their clinical severity of gastroenteritis assessed using the internationally recognised Vesikari scoring system.Results: A total of 159 cases were detected, 157 were studied, 87 were male (55%) and 90 were severe (57%). Nosocomial gastroenteritis is rare (2 cases) (1.1%); 129 cases were admitted and the majority of paediatric gastroenteritis cases (68%) stayed between 1 and 2 days. Diarrhoea was noted in all cases, vomiting in 130 cases (82%), fever in 136 cases (86%) and dehydration in 89 cases (56%). Oral rehydration therapy was successful in 33 cases (21%). The fourth week of June was the peak week of the year for gastroenteritis (7 cases). The largest number of presentations with GE was noted in May (20 cases), followed by December and June (18 cases each) with the largest number of severe GE noted in June (12 cases), followed by December and May (11 cases each).Conclusion: Diarrhoea is the most predominant feature of gastroenteritis. Acute viral gastroenteritis occurs throughout the year. Seasonal variations of gastroenteritis were noted throughout the year. Nosocomial infection is rare.","PeriodicalId":74884,"journal":{"name":"Sudanese journal of paediatrics","volume":"22 1","pages":"77-82"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9361493/pdf/sjp-22-77.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40605199","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}

The aim of this study is to retrospectively analyse the cases of paediatric pyogenic musculoskeletal infections in a tertiary care centre in India.Methods: It is a retrospective study including patients below 18 years of age who had been diagnosed with any pyogenic musculoskeletal infection. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and radiological details were collected.Results: A total of 216 children, with a mean age of 12.8 ± 4.9 years (10 days-18 years), were included in the study. The causative organism could be isolated in 98 cases (45.3%). Escherichia coli and methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus were the most common pathogens isolated in infants and children, respectively. Imipenem and linezolid were the commonest sensitive antibiotics for children up to 10 years and above 10 years, respectively. Linezolid was the antibiotic of choice in culture-negative cases. The majority (78.3%, n = 169) of children underwent a surgical procedure during the stay at the hospital. A higher relapse rate (61%) was noted in culture-negative patients.Conclusion: Improved methods of pathogen detection should be explored to improve the rate of positive cultures. Additional prospective studies with longer patient follow-up and the creation of care protocols are necessary to improve therapeutic decision-making and the prognosis for children with suspected musculoskeletal infection.","PeriodicalId":74884,"journal":{"name":"Sudanese journal of paediatrics","volume":"22 1","pages":"54-60"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9361492/pdf/sjp-22-54.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40605192","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}

The objective of the present study is to describe the pattern of neurological disorders at the Pediatric Neurology Clinic of Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital (OOUTH), Sagamu, Nigeria. A retrospective analysis of consecutive patients in a Pediatric Neurology Clinic of OOUTH, from 1st January 2011 till 31st December 2014, was carried out. A total of 4,476 patients attended the pediatric outpatient unit. Of these, 433 children had neurological disorders with a prevalence of 9.67%. The most frequent pediatric neurological disorders included seizure disorders (37.7%), cerebral palsy (37.7%), and central nervous system infections with complications (6.2%). The subjects with cerebral palsy were the youngest, while the subjects with seizures were the oldest. This study emphasizes that neurological disease contributes substantially to childhood morbidity in a semi-urban African tertiary hospital.","PeriodicalId":74884,"journal":{"name":"Sudanese journal of paediatrics","volume":"22 1","pages":"83-89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9361490/pdf/sjp-22-83.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40607712","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}
