Neonatal mortality in small for gestational age infants based on reference local newborn curve at secondary and tertiary hospitals in Indonesia.

Background: Small for gestational (SGA) infants during the neonatal period have risks of mortality and sequelae for survival. Two - third of neonatal mortality occurs in the first weeks of life. Prevalence of SGA depends on the newbon curve used.

Respiratory distress in small for gestational age infants based on local newborn curve prior to hospital discharge.

Background: Respiratory distress in newborns, which may lead to risks of morbidity and death, is one of the reasons for a referral to the more advanced health facilities. Respiratory distress analysis in small for gestational age (SGA) infants remains controversial. SGA infants are a big problem for and burden the low-medium income countries.

Becoming an adolescent mother: The experiences of young Indonesian new mothers living with their extended families.

Objective: Adolescent motherhood brings many challenges. While much is written about young mothers' transition to motherhood and their support needs, there is little from South-East Asian countries such as Indonesia. The aim of this study was to understand the new motherhood experiences of Indonesian adolescent females living with their extended families.

Adolescent mothers' experiences of the transition to motherhood: An integrative review.

A woman experiences heightened vulnerability and faces tremendous challenges when transitioning to motherhood. This is exacerbated for young mothers and studies have shown that adolescent mothers experience an increased burden of responsibility during the transition to motherhood. Recent research addressing the experiences of adolescent mothers has increased.

Exploring Indonesian adolescent women's healthcare needs as they transition to motherhood: A qualitative study.

Background: Marriage and underage childbirth is a phenomenon of increasing incidence globally. Adolescent mothers simultaneously encounter multiple developmental challenges related to transition into adulthood, marriage, pregnancy and mothering responsibilities. Despite this, studies investigating postpartum care needs for adolescent mothers are limited.

Declining age at menarche in Indonesia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: There has been much research on the average age at menarche onset. In higher income countries the lowering in average age at menarche is earlier than in middle-income countries and lower income countries. Indonesia as a middle-income country also has some research experience related to the average age at menarche for girls.

A medication diary-book for pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in Indonesia.

Background: Event-free survival of pediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in Yogyakarta, Indonesia was low (20%). The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of using a medication diary-book on the treatment outcome of childhood ALL.

Procedure: A randomized study was conducted with 109 pediatric patients with ALL in a pediatric oncology center in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

A community-based randomized controlled trial of iron and zinc supplementation in Indonesian infants: effects on growth and development.

Background: Deficiencies of iron and zinc are associated with delayed development, growth faltering, and increased infectious-disease morbidity during infancy and childhood. Combined iron and zinc supplementation may therefore be a logical preventive strategy.

Objective: The objective of the study was to compare the effects of combined iron and zinc supplementation in infancy with the effects of iron and zinc as single micronutrients on growth, psychomotor development, and incidence of infectious disease.

A community-based randomized controlled trial of iron and zinc supplementation in Indonesian infants: interactions between iron and zinc.

Background: Combined supplementation with iron and zinc during infancy may be effective in preventing deficiencies of these micronutrients, but knowledge of their potential interactions when given together is insufficient.

Objective: The goal was to compare the effect in infants of combined supplementation with iron and zinc and of supplementation with single micronutrients on iron and zinc status.

Design: Indonesian infants (n = 680) were randomly assigned to daily supplementation with 10 mg Fe (Fe group), 10 mg Zn (Zn group), 10 mg Fe + 10 mg Zn (Fe+Zn group), or placebo from 6 to 12 mo of age.
