Methodology: This was a retrospective cohort study. HIV-infected children on ART aged less than 15 years were divided into two groups Group 1 (G1) comprising children who started ART prior 2 years and Group (G2) those put on treatment thereafter. Main Measures: Percentage of children with growth retardation measured by Height for Age (H/A) and Weight for Age (W/A) Results: In total, we included 90 subjects. The median age was 10 years with a slight female predominance (51.2%). Most children were asymptomatic at the time of the study (96.6%), compliant with treatment (81%), 54.8% of children were on cotrimoxazole, 33% knew their status. At initiation, underweight was predominant in group 1 compared to group 2 (52% versus 29.5%;p = 0.015). Conversely, stunted growth predominated in G2 compared to G1 but without significant difference (38% versus 50%;p = 0.147). At the time of our study (median age of 10 years), catch-up height and weight predominated in G1 compared to G2;only a small proportion remained below −2SD (4% versus 18.2%;p = 0.015 and 9% versus 29.5%;p = 0.006 respectively for underweight and stunted growth). Conclusion and Global Health Implications: Growth retardation was common at ART initiation. Catch-up in height was more evident in the early treatment group. Initiation of ART before the age of 2 years rather influences children’s height than weight. The result of this study further emphasizes the need of early ART and closed clinical monitoring to better assess the impact of ART in areas with high rates of undernutrition.展开更多

文摘This study analyzed case and prescription data of children aged 12 to 18 years diagnosed with influenza A from the outpatient and emergency departments at the Women and Children’s Hospital of Ningbo University during the influenza epidemic period between February and April 2023.Patients were categorized into two groups based on their medication:the Baloxavir Marboxil group(196 cases)and the Oseltamivir group(126 cases).SPSS Statistics 24.0 software was utilized to compare variables between the two groups,including age,sex,weight,first visit department,number of visits,average prescription cost per patient,drug varieties used,hospitalization rate,and the combined medication usage,to evaluate the relative advantages and disadvantages of the two treatments.The results indicated that the number of visits in the Baloxavir Marboxil group was significantly lower than in the Oseltamivir group,whereas the average prescription cost per patient was higher(P<0.05).There were no significant differences between the two groups regarding age,sex,weight,first visit department,number of drug types used,hospitalization rate,or combined medication usage(P>0.05).When comparing the use of single-class combined drugs,only the quantity of antiviral drugs differed significantly(P<0.05).The Oseltamivir group required more adjuvant treatment with both Chinese and Western antiviral medications.The distribution of the number of combined drug types was concentrated around three and two types in both groups(Baloxavir Marboxil group:41.34%and 39.66%;Oseltamivir group:44.54%and 36.97%).This study highlighted that the new drug,Baloxavir Marboxil,offered certain therapeutic benefits over Oseltamivir in treating influenza among children aged 12 to 18 years,including advantages in single-dose administration,oral compliance,and specific treatment outcomes.The higher unit cost associated with Baloxavir Marboxil might be a factor for further consideration.These findings provided a new reference point for the clinical selection of anti-influenza medications.
