“…Risk of anemia increased with increasing maternal educational level. This is in contrast to an Indian study were low educational level and anemia among the mother significantly increases the risk of childhood anemia [37]. Our results are also in contrast to another study by de Vienne et al who found an association between young age and risk of maternal anemia [13], which is known to increase the risk of anemia in the child.…”

IntroductionThe mean age at delivery has increased over the latest half of a century. Women of advanced maternal age have increased obstetrical risks and increased risk of chromosomal abnormalities and some other specified diagnoses in the offspring. The aim of this study was to assess the association between maternal age and overall child morbidity according to main diagnosis groups.Material and methodsWe conducted a national cohort study including 352 027 live firstborn singleton children. The children were born between Jan 1994 and Dec 2009 and followed to Dec 2012. Children were divided into groups according to maternal age: 15–24, 25–29, 30–34, and 35+ years. Poisson regression analyses calculated adjusted incidence rate ratios (IRR) of child morbidities according to main diagnoses groups A-Q of the International Classification of Disease 10 with adjustment for year of birth, body mass index, smoking, and mother’s level of education.ResultsAverage follow-up time was 11 years. Compared to children born to women 25–29 years, firstborn children to mothers aged 35+ had higher child morbidity in 8 of 19 main diagnosis groups and firstborn children to mothers 15–24 years had higher child morbidity in 12 of 19 main diagnosis groups. Thus, for a majority of diseases a U-shaped correlation was found, with lowest rates in women 25–29 years.ConclusionFirstborn children to both older and younger mothers have higher overall morbidity as compared to children born by mothers 25–29 years.

“…According to National Family Health survey (NFHS-3), anemia is common in India among the schedule caste and tribes and among the children with low socioeconomic status. 16 Current study shows that, acute painful crisis (59.01%) was the most common cause for hospitalization, followed by severe anemia (39.34%) and infections (36.06%).

Background: Sickle cell disease is commonly seen in rural population of south part of Gujarat in India. It is one of the common causes of recurrent hospitalization, morbidity and mortality in pediatric population. This study was therefore undertaken to evaluate the clinical profile of sickle cell disease in a tertiary care hospital.Methods: This was the prospective observational study done from November 2015 to October 2016. All the hospitalized diagnosed case of sickle cell disease and trait in age group of 6 months to 14 years were taken in this study. Sickle cell disease with some genetic or metabolic disease and sickle-beta-thalassemia patients were not included in this study.Results: Total 61 patients were admitted over a one year of study period, out of which 47 were sickle cell disease and 14 sickle cell trait patients. Morbidity events were commonly observed in 5-12 years of age groups (68.85%). Seasonal variation also observed, 47.54% of total cases are seen in winter season. Pain (60.65%) was the most common presenting symptom. Severe pallor (39.34%) and splenomegaly (24.59%) was the most common sign in both groups. Vaso-occlusive crisis (59.01%) was the most common morbidity event observed, of which abdominal pain was the most common site of pain involvement. On laboratory analysis, there was statistically significant difference observed in disease and trait. In patients with sickle cell disease acute painful crisis (59.57%) was the common morbidity event observed while in sickle cell trait patients acute febrile illness (71.42%) observed.Conclusions: Vaso-occlusive crisis is the commonest manifestation in pediatric age group. Comprehensive medical care and management is required to decrease the morbidity and mortality.

Socio-economic and demographic determinants of childhood anemia

Abstract: The results suggest a need for proper planning and implementation of preventive measures to combat child anemia. Economically under-privileged groups, maternal nutrition and education, and birth control measures should be priorities in the programs.
