Effect of Executive Function on Health-Related Quality of Life in Children with Chronic Kidney Disease.

Introduction: As the highest function in the brain that regulates our daily activity, executive dysfunction might affect someone's health-related quality of life (HRQoL), especially in those with chronic diseases, including chronic kidney disease (CKD). Neurocognitive functions, including intelligence quotient (IQ) and executive function can be affected through various mechanisms in CKD. However, there was still no specific study regarding how IQ and executive function might affect HRQoL in children with CKD.

Immunogenicity and safety of Quadrivalent Influenza HA vaccine compared with Trivalent Influenza HA vaccine and evaluation of Quadrivalent Influenza HA vaccine batch-to-batch consistency in Indonesian children and adults.

One of the newest strategies developed by the Global Influenza Strategy has been to broaden the composition of the current influenza vaccine formulations from trivalent products to quadrivalent products. This study aimed to assess the immunogenicity and safety of Quadrivalent Influenza HA vaccine (QIV) compared with Trivalent Influenza HA vaccine (TIV) and to evaluate three consecutive batches of QIV equivalence in Indonesian children and adults. This was an experimental, randomized, double blind, four arm parallel group bridging study involving unprimed healthy children and adults aged 9-40 years.

Factors Affecting the Developmental Status of Children Aged 6 Months to 2 Years in Urban and Rural Areas.

The first two years of life, including the period from conception to 2 years of age, are very important for a child's growth and development. This study sought to describe the developmental status and the environmental factors that influence it in children aged 6 months to 2 years in urban and rural areas. The research sites were purposively selected: specific health centres in the city of Bandung and West Bandung district were chosen and the study was conducted from November to December 2022.

Comparison of Immunogenicity and Safety of Diphtheria-Tetanus-Pertussis-Hepatitis B- B (Bio Farma) with Pentabio Vaccine Primed with Recombinant Hepatitis B at Birth (Using Different Source of Hepatitis B) in Indonesian Infants.

Satisfying the needs of the national immunization program requires maintaining diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP)-hepatitis B (HB)- B (Hib) production. Therefore, new hepatitis B sources are needed. This study aimed to evaluate the immunogenicity of the DTP-HB-Hib vaccine (Bio Farma) that used a different source of hepatitis B.

Correlation between anthropometric measurements of height and arm span in Indonesian children aged 7-12 years: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Height is an anthropometric measurement that serves as the most constant indicator of growth. In certain circumstances, arm span can be used as an alternative to height measurements. This study aims to analyze the correlation between anthropometric measurements of height and arm span in children aged 7-12 years.

A phase III, observer-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study of the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 inactivated vaccine in healthy adults aged 18-59 years: An interim analysis in Indonesia.

Background: The WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11th, 2020. This serious outbreak and the precipitously increasing numbers of deaths worldwide necessitated the urgent need to develop an effective severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine. The development of COVID-19 vaccines has moved quickly.

Height Prediction Using the Knee Height Measurement Among Indonesian Children.

Background: Height is essential for assessing growth and nutrition in children. Assessing height with appropriate measurement is important, although in certain physically disabled and hospitalized children direct height measurement is almost not possible. In these situations, segmental measurements can be used as proxy height.

Temporal association between serious bleeding and immunization: vitamin K deficiency as main causative factor.

Background: Bleeding as an adverse event following immunization (AEFI) that is rarely reported in children, although it can be a parental concern. Bleeding episodes ranging in severity from mild to severe and defined as any external and/or internal bleeding can be caused by acquired or hereditary disorders. This study analyzes whether bleeding episodes in children that were recorded as AEFIs are causally associated with immunization and elaborates their etiology.

Immunogenicity and safety profile of a primary dose of bivalent oral polio vaccine given simultaneously with DTwP-Hb-Hib and inactivated poliovirus vaccine at the 4th visit in Indonesian infants.

In this study, we aimed to evaluate the immunological protectivity of infants following four doses of bivalent oral polio vaccine (bOPV; Bio Farma), which were given simultaneously with DTwP-Hb-Hib (Pentabio®), along with one dose of inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) at the fourth visit. A total of 143 newborn infants who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were enrolled and completed the study. Subjects received the first dose of bOPV at birth.

Immunogenicity and safety of Quadrivalent Influenza HA vaccine in Indonesian children: An open-labeled, bridging, clinical study.

Background: Influenza B (Yamagata/Victoria lineage) can cause severe forms of respiratory infection among the pediatric population as well as influenza A strains (H3N2/H1N1). Vaccination against all four strains is required to prevent infection and severe outcome. This study is the first study to assess the immunogenicity of Quadrivalent Influenza HA vaccine (QIV) and ascertain safety among children in Indonesia.

Pneumococcal carriage, density, and co-colonization dynamics: A longitudinal study in Indonesian infants.

Objectives: Nasopharyngeal carriage of Streptococcus pneumoniae underpins disease development and transmission. This study was performed to examine pneumococcal carriage dynamics, including density and multiple serotype carriage, in Indonesian infants during the first year of life.

Methods: Two hundred healthy infants were enrolled at 2 months of age.

Risk factors associated with nasopharyngeal carriage and density of , , , and in young children living in Indonesia.

Background: Potentially pathogenic bacteria , , , and are commonly carried in the nasopharynx of young children. Host and environmental factors have been linked with pathogen carriage, and in many studies rural children have higher carriage rates than their urban counterparts. There are few published data on what factors contribute to increased pathogen density.

DTwP-HB-Hib: antibody persistence after a primary series, immune response and safety after a booster dose in children 18-24 months old.

Background: The new combination of DTwP-HB-Hib vaccines has been developed in Indonesia following World Health Organization (WHO) recommendation and integrated into national immunization program. The aims of the study were to measure 1) antibody persistence 12-18 months after a primary series, 2) immune response and safety after a booster dose of DTwP-HB-Hib.

Methods: This was a multi-center, open-labeled, prospective, interventional study.

Carriage of Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, and Staphylococcus aureus in Indonesian children: A cross-sectional study.

Streptococcus pneumoniae is an important cause of infection and commonly colonizes the nasopharynx of young children, along with other potentially pathogenic bacteria. The objectives of this study were to estimate the carriage prevalence of S. pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, and Staphylococcus aureus in young children in Indonesia, and to examine interactions between these bacterial species.

The immunogenicity, safety, and consistency of an Indonesia combined DTP-HB-Hib vaccine in expanded program on immunization schedule.

Background: WHO recommended incorporation of Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) vaccination into immunization program. Indonesia would adopt Hib as a National Immunization Program in 2013. We aimed at analyzing immunogenicity, safety, and consistency of a new combined DTP-HB-Hib (diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis-Hepatitis B-Haemophilus influenza B) vaccine.
