Read More Background: Preterm birth is a major cause of death and a signiﬁcant cause of long-term morbidity around the world. Complications of preterm birth are the single largest direct cause of neonatal deaths, responsible for 35% of the world’s 3.1 million deaths a year, and the second most common cause of under -5 deaths after pneumonia. India ranks first among the 10 countries which account for 60% of the world’s preterm births. There is a relative dearth of studies on short term outcomes of the preterm infants in Indian literature. The aim of this study is to find the preterm outcome in terms of morbidity & mortality. Methods: This was a prospective descriptive study done in a tertiary hospital in south Karnataka. A sample size of minimum of 150 preterm babies (<37 completed weeks) was selected using purposive sampling technique. Multiple gestation and babies with major as well as life threatening congenital anomalies were excluded. Preterm care was given as per standard NICU protocol of the hospital. The neonates were assessed daily for signs and symptoms of prematurity complications. The day of onset of symptoms, their duration, appropriate therapeutic intervention done, and time of symptom resolution or poor neonatal outcome (including death) was recorded up to discharge or till 1 month of admission, whichever is earlier. Results: Most of the babies were late preterm, while 13.3% and 16.7% were moderate to very, respectively. About 8.7% of the babies required resuscitation at birth with 2% requiring intubation. Neonatal hyperbilirubinaemia was seen in 66.7%, hypoglycemia in 3.3%, and respiratory distress in 17.3% of the babies. Probable sepsis was seen in 8% of babies while culture proven sepsis was seen in 1.3%. Mortality was 8%. Conclusion: This study shows morbidities more in terms of metabolic, namely hypoglycemia and hyperbilirubinemia. Sepsis, RDS, NEC was comparatively low. Mortality was in line with the global statistics. But we still intend to institute adequate antenatal and postnatal care to improve the outcome quality in premature babies.

Authors of this research have shared an experience on application of social network of Telegram for educational intervention in field of continued breast feeding and complementary feeding of children among Iranian women. Materials and Methods: In this research, social network of Telegram was employed to provide teachings associated with continued breastfeeding and complementary feeding of children to mothers based on the model of Center for Diseases Control of USA (CDC). 90 members, out of 125 mothers who were informed, became member of Telegram group voluntary with informed consent,namely that the participation rate was 72%. The Telegram group called "Mother’s love - Mother’s milk" was designed on August 2016 and has been active for 6 months until this date. The group has been active under the management of an experienced physician and consultation with a pharmacist. Results: Participants of this research reported cell phone, internet, physician, books, and journals as the most-used sources, respectively, to access to information about breast feeding and health of their children. Only five mother of group-member mothers were uneducated or had elementary education level. Also, it was determined that the higher percentage of women who joined Telegram group were housewives compared with the group who had no tendency to join group. 100% of members evaluated membership in Telegram group and subjects related to complementary feeding beneficial and 39 of 41 (95%) participants in an E-survey, were satisfied with learning, and 35 members (85.4%) were satisfied with teaching. Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of social networks as potential educational field. Usage of this media, particularly among women groups under specific circumstance of pregnancy, can be beneficial.
