“…Moreover, medical and supportive care equipment shortages in low and middle-income countries (LMIC) hampered the treatment of illnesses in public health facilities [ 14 ]. Understanding the epidemiological and clinical results of COVID-19 patients undergoing therapy, in contrast, is critical for determining the efficacy of therapies and assessing service quality [ 20 ]. COVID-19 research has primarily concentrated on prevention measures, epidemiological inquiry, diagnosis, and therapy to date.…”

Background. Deaths due to COVID-19 are common among the elderly, especially among individuals with underlying illnesses. The pandemic of the COVID-19 impaired the mental, psychological, and physical well-being of people admitted to hospitals. Furthermore, in underdeveloped countries, scarcity of medical equipment was a challenge to manage cases in public health facilities. Thus, understanding the epidemiology and clinical outcomes of COVID-19 patients who are receiving treatment is critical for developing effective treatments and assessing service quality. Therefore, this study is aimed at assessing the treatment outcomes and associated factors among patients affected by the COVID-19 virus. Method. We used an institutional-based retrospective cross-sectional analysis of 398 patients discharged in South Central, Ethiopia, between June 1, 2020, and July 5, 2021. Data were extracted using the data abstraction format. Data were entered, coded, and analyzed using the STATA 16 software. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess the factors associated with poor treatment outcomes. A 95% confidence interval with adjusted odds ratio (AOR) and p value less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Result. In our study, the proportion of poor treatment outcomes was 61 (15.3%). Chronic pulmonary disease ( AOR = 5.62 ; 95% CI: 2.49–12.70), asthma ( AOR = 2.8 ; 95% CI: 1.17–6.67), chronic kidney disease ( AOR = 4.81 ; 95% CI: 1.27–18.22),diabetic mellitus ( AOR = 2.27 ; 95% CI: 1.02–5.09), HIV positive ( AOR = 10.44 ; 95% CI: 3.0–36.35), worsening conditions ( AOR = 3.73 , 95% CI: 1.17–11.95), and age 55 and above years ( AOR = 4.35 , 95% CI: 1.30–14.60) were statistically associated with poor treatment outcomes.Conclusion. We found a significant number of patients had favourable treatment. Moreover, aging, having complicated situations at admission, and chronic illnesses such as COPD, CKD, asthma, diabetic mellitus, and HIV/AIDS participants were significantly associated with poor treatment outcomes. Therefore, critical follow–up and management of patients with underlying diseases and worsening health conditions during admission is required.

“…Nutritional status is one of the factors that affect the quality of life of children. Oral health status is closely related to quality of life ( 37 – 39 ). Research conducted by Wary also found that children with good nutritional status have a better quality of life than children with low nutritional status ( 40 ).…”

BackgroundFailure to catch up with growth in toddlerhood will stunt elementary school children, which continues to cognitive decline and oral motor coordination. Verbal motor skills play an essential role in the oral function of the stomatognathic system, which includes mastication, swallowing, and speech. Therefore, early attention to oral function disorders of the stomatognathic system can avoid complications in children's nutritional status and quality of life.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to analyze the correlation of oral function of the stomatognathic system with Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) in stunting children.MethodsThis cross-sectional study correlates with 58 children aged 7–12 years with a history of stunting in toddlerhood from the Pasir Jambu District, Bandung Regency. The oral function of the stomatognathic system was evaluated by Adapted Orofacial Myofunctional Assessment Protocol and OHRQoL with Child Oral Health Impact Profile Short Form (COHIP-SF 19).ResultsThe results were statistically analyzed using Spearman's rank correlation and Kendall’s coefficient of concordance correlation tests. The results showed that the research subjects had a significant relationship in each variable and the three variables of the oral function of the stomatognathic system (chewing, swallowing, and speech) with OHRQoL with a p-value <0.05. The study concluded that the oral function of the stomatognathic system (chewing, swallowing, and speech) is related to OHRQoL in children with stunted growth.

A bstract Aim To assess the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among children suffering from congestive heart failure and bronchial asthma in Lucknow city. Materials and method Methodology: Patients aged 6–12 years were assessed using Child Perception Questionnaire (CPQ). DMFT was assessed in same patients to measure their caries experience. Results Dental caries were observed in 62.6% of cardiac patients followed by 55.8% in bronchial asthma patients. Conclusion Children with CHF had high dental caries experience as compared to asthmatic patients. Due to high caries exposure, they had a negative impact on OHRQoL as compared to others. Clinical significance The relationship between oral and systemic health must be consistently reinforced to a patient and guardians of children with systemic disease that can enable to improve the quality of life of these compromised populations.
