To explore the relevant influencing factors of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS) in southern China and provide scientific basis for improving the quality of life for neonates. A retrospective analysis of 320 cases with NRDS neonates admitted from January 2015 to December 2017 in a neonatal department of a Maternal and Child Health Hospital in South China was conducted. Three hundred twenty non-NRDS patients admitted to the same hospital during the same period were also included as control. The basic characteristics were compared and the risk and protective factors for NRDS were evaluated by logistic regression analysis. Univariate analysis showed that the difference in age, gestational age, fetal sex, mode of delivery, asphyxia, intrauterine distress, and gestational diabetes in the case group and the control group were significantly different ( < .05). The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the age of pregnant women (OR ± 1.539, 95% CI ± 1.427-1.660), intrauterine distress (OR ± 2.427, 95% CI ± 1.079-5.458), and gestational diabetes (OR ± 2.881, 95% CI ± 1.271-6.532) were independent risk factors for NRDS. Meanwhile, gestational age (OR ± 0.588, 95% CI ± 0.508-0.681) was an independent protective factor for NRDS. The age of pregnant women, intrauterine distress, and gestational diabetes can increase the risk of NRDS, while long gestational age can reduce the risk of NRDS. Early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment of children with NRDS have achieved the purpose of improving the quality of life of children.

Background: Community-Based Newborn Care [CBNC] program aims to improve the health of the newborns. Despite management improvements, many young infants with serious bacterial infections [PSBI] in resource-limited settings are not receiving recommended inpatient treatment due to accessibility, affordability, or family acceptance issues. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the level of CBNC utilization and associated factors among women who delivered recently their newborns in Nekemte city, West Oromia, Ethiopia.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the usefulness of emergency cerclage for pregnant women with bulging fetal membranes, as indicated by our original noninvasive clinical scoring system.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of pregnant women who underwent emergency cerclage for bulging fetal membranes within 28 weeks. The primary outcome was the continuation of pregnancy at 34 gestational weeks in singleton pregnancies and 32 gestational weeks in twin pregnancies.

Introduction: Although evidence exists on the impact of microbiota on pregnancy outcomes in many high-resource settings, there is a lack of research in many low-resource settings like Ethiopia. This study aims to fill this gap by studying the gut and vaginal microbiota changes throughout pregnancy and assess how these changes relate to pregnancy outcomes among a cohort of pregnant women in eastern Ethiopia.
Methods And Analysis: Vaginal and stool samples will be collected using DNA/RNA Shield Collection kits three times starting at 12-22 weeks, 28-36 weeks and at birth (within 7 days).

Background: Based on the presenting injury, patients undergoing abuse evaluation may be managed by different specialties. Our local child abuse specialist expressed concern over the variability in evaluation of patients presenting with injuries concerning for non-accidental trauma (NAT). The aim of this quality improvement project was to increase the percentage of patients for whom there is a concern for NAT who receive a guideline-adherent evaluation from 7.
