Article Synopsis
- - The study aims to explore the factors affecting the consumption of animal source foods (ASF) among children aged 6-23 months in Ethiopia, highlighting the importance of a diversified diet for optimal growth.
- - It employs data from the Ethiopia Demographic and Health Surveys, using mixed-effects logit regression models to analyze the predictors of ASF consumption, revealing that only 22.7% of children in the specified age group consume ASF.
- - Factors such as younger age, socioeconomic status, maternal education, and community poverty significantly impact ASF consumption, with community-level influences identified, such as rural living and pastoralist areas, explaining about 38% of the variance in consumption rates.
Objective: This study compares the efficacy of sublingual misoprostol versus intravenous oxytocin in reducing bleeding during and after cesarean delivery.
Materials And Methods: A randomized clinical trial conducted on 120 pregnant women at term (37-40 weeks) gestation scheduled for elective cesarean delivery, who were assigned to either sublingual misoprostol 400 μg or intravenous infusion of 20 units of oxytocin after delivery of the neonate. The main outcome measures were blood loss at and 2 hours after cesarean delivery, change in hematocrit value, need for any additional oxytocic drugs, and drug-related side effects.
