Childhood Morbidity and its Association with Socioeconomic and Health Care Condition among Under 5 Years Children in West Bengal: An Evidence from NFHS-5, 2019-20. Int J Med Public Health. 2021;11(2):x-x. ABSTRACT Introduction: Child health issue is a public health concern in India and the country has already set its goal to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs) target to reduce under-five mortality to 25 per 1000 live births by 2030. A good socio-economic condition and health care facility can reduce child morbidity and mortality. Objectives: The present study aims to show the pattern of morbidity among under-five children and its association with socio-economic and health care condition in West Bengal. Materials and Methods: This study has been carried out from district level fact-sheets of NFHS-5 (2019-20). Dimension Indices (DI) are developed for the indicators of child morbidity, health care and socioeconomic status. Bivariate analyses are performed using Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient and Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Multivariate analyses are carried out using simple linear regression model. Results: Results show Purulia district of West Bengal represents a highest level of child morbidity and North Twenty-Four Parganas district as a low level of child morbidity status ; whereas, both districts show reverse status in the case of socio-economic and health care context. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient of child morbidity is negatively related with socio-economic (-0.54) and health care status (-0.62) and in both the cases they are significantly different from zero (P<0.05). Availability of electricity, women literacy, improved sanitation facility and child immunization are negatively correlated with child morbidity. Conclusion: The study recommends targeting the districts with high child morbidity, poor socio-economic and health care status and suggest improvements to reduce the same by facilitating improved sanitation facility, increase in women literacy and full immunization.","PeriodicalId":90863,"journal":{"name":"International journal of medicine and public health","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71040401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Post Liver Transplantation Diarrhea: Etiology, Evaluation and Treatment. Int J Med Public Health. 2021;11(3):126-32. ABSTRACT Diarrhea is a frequent post-operative complication following liver transplantation. It occurs frequently in the initial 3-4 months. Common etiologic factors include immunosuppressive drugs (Mycophenolate mofetil, Tacrolimus and Cyclosporine) and infection (Clostridium difficile, Cytomegalovirus and Rotavirus infection). Inflammatory bowel disease, malignancy and graft versus host disease are infrequent but important causes. Actual incidence of Diarrhea among liver transplant recipients remains elusive as it is often under-reported. However, as per the current literature, it occurs in 10-40 percent of recipients. It can result in dehydration, dyselectrolytemia, derangement of renal profile and even graft loss. The alteration in immunosuppressive drugs in early post-operative period may predispose graft rejection. High index of suspicion and systematic evaluation is pertinent for timely diagnosis. The review summarizes the important causes, epidemiology, recent updates, evaluation and management of the of post liver transplant diarrhea.","PeriodicalId":90863,"journal":{"name":"International journal of medicine and public health","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71040435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
