ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Fundamento: la anemia se define como una reducción de la concentración de hemoglobina por debajo de los valores registrados en las personas sanas. En Cuba, al igual que en el resto del mundo, la anemia ferropénica constituye un problema de salud, con elevada frecuencia en pacientes pediátricos. Objetivo: identificar dentro de un conjunto de factores de riesgo biológicos, cuáles tienen mayor asociación a la anemia ferropénica en lactantes hospitalizados en sala de pediatría del Hospital Luis Díaz Soto. Métodos: estudio descriptivo, de corte transversal. El universo estuvo conformado por 384 lactantes y la muestra la constituyeron 105 pacientes. Se realizó un muestreo aleatorio simple. Para identificar dentro de un grupo de factores de riesgo biológico sobre la aparición de anemia ferropénica, se realizó análisis univariado mediante la prueba de independencia X2. Se calculó el OR para aquellas variables que según prueba de X2 se mostraron estadísticamente significativas. Resultados: se constató prevalencia de anemia ferropénica en lactantes ingresados en más de la mitad de la muestra estudiada (61 %). Se determinó que la lactancia materna exclusiva por menos de seis meses (OR: 2,1; IC: 1,9-2,5) y la alimentación complementaria (OR: 1,5; IC: 1,3-2,4) constituyen factores de riesgo en el lactante ingresado para la aparición de anemia ferropénica. Conclusiones: la prevalencia de anemia ferropénica en lactantes ingresados en sala de pediatría del Hospital Luis Díaz Soto en el periodo de mayo a 2019 a mayo de 2020, fue alta y se comportó entre los valores esperados en lactantes hospitalizados.


ABSTRACT Background: anemia is defined as a reduction in hemoglobin concentration below the values recorded in healthy persons. In Cuba, as in the rest of the world, iron deficiency anemia is a health problem, with a high frequency in pediatric patients. Objective: to identify within a group of biological risk factors, which ones have a greater association with iron deficiency anemia in infants hospitalized in the pediatric ward of the Luis Díaz Soto Hospital. Methods: a descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out. The universe was made up of 384 infants and the sample was made up of 105 patients. A simple random sampling was made. In order to identify within a group of biological risk factors on the appearance of iron-deficiency anemia, unvaried analysis was carried out by means of the X2 independence test. The OR was calculated for those variables which, according to the X2 test, were statistically significant. Results: prevalence of iron-deficiency anemia was found in infants admitted in more than half of the studied sample (61 %). It was determined that exclusive breastfeeding for less than six months (OR: 2,1; IC: 1,9-2,5) and complementary feeding (OR: 1,5; IC: 1,3-2,4) were risk factors for iron-deficiency anemia in the infant admitted. Conclusions: the prevalence of iron-deficiency anemia in infants admitted to the pediatric ward of the Luis Díaz Soto Hospital during the period May 2019 to May 2020 is high and is among the expected values in hospitalized infants.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Los niños también son susceptibles a la infección por SARS-CoV-2, pero sus manifestaciones clínicas son leves y la evolución en la mayoría de los casos es satisfactoria. Objetivo: Caracterizar clínica-epidemiológicamente a pacientes pediátricos infectados con el nuevo coronavirus SARS-CoV‐2. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo, transversal y retrospectivo en los primeros 77 pacientes menores de 18 años confirmados con COVID 19 e ingresados en las salas de pediatría del hospital "Dr. Luis Díaz Soto" en el período comprendido entre el 13 de marzo al 30 junio 2020. De las historias clínicas se tomaron los datos de las variables edad y sexo, comorbilidades, fuente de infección y lugar de exposición, presencia de síntomas y tiempo de aparición después del contacto y periodo en que se inició la mejoría. Resultados: Hubo discreto predominio del sexo femenino (54,5 por ciento) y los adolescentes (51,8 por ciento) más vulnerables a la infección. Se refirieron comorbilidades en 23 casos (22,8 por ciento) y el asma fue la más frecuente (10-13 por ciento). Se precisó la fuente de infección en 74 (96,1 por ciento) y 58 (75,3 por ciento) estaban asintomáticos al diagnóstico. Los síntomas más frecuentes fueron los respiratorios (tos 7-36,8 por ciento, rinorrea 5-26,3 por ciento y estornudos 4- 21,0 por ciento), le siguió la cefalea con 4 (21.0 por ciento); solo 3 presentaron fiebre (15,8 por ciento) y otros 3 anosmia-disgeusia (15,8 por ciento). La evolución fue favorable en 100,0 % de los pacientes y la mayoría estaba asintomática al 7mo. día. Conclusiones: La infección por SARS-CoV-2 se presentó sin distinción significativa de sexo, preferentemente en adolescentes, con manifestaciones leves de la enfermedad y evolución satisfactoria. No hubo fallecidos(AU)


Introduction: Children are also vulnerable to Sars-CoV-2 infections, but their clinical manifestations are slight and the evolution in most of the cases is satisfactory. Objective: Characterize in a clinical-epidemiological way pediatric patients infected with the new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. Methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective study in the first 77 patients under 18 years confirmed with COVID-19 and admitted in the pediatric service of "Dr. Luis Díaz Soto" Hospital, in the period from March 13th to June 30th, 2020. From the clinical records were taken data of variables like age and sex, comorbidities, source of infection and place of exposure, presence of symptoms and time of onset after the contact, and period in which started an improvement of the disease. Results: There was a discreet predominance of female sex (54.5 percent) and the adolescents (51.8 percent) being more vulnerable to the infection. Comorbidities were noticed in 23 cases (22.8 percent) and asthma was the most frequent (10-13 percent). It was specified the source of infection in 74 patients (96.1 percent) and 58 patients (75.3 percent) were asymptomatic during the diagnosis. The most frequent symptoms were: respiratory ones (cough: 7-36.8 percent; rhinorrhoea: 5-26.3 percent; and sneezing: 4-21,0 percent); followed by cephalalgia with 4 (21,0 percent); just 3 patients presented fever (15.8 percent) and other 3 presented anosmia-dysgeusia (15.8 percent).The evolution was favorable in 100.0 percent of the patients and most of them were asymptomatic at the seventh day. Conclusions: The infection by SARS-CoV-2 was present with significative distinction of sex, more commonly in adolescents with slight manifestations of the disease and satisfactory evolution. There were no deaths(AU)

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Background: Pediatric procedures have the difficulty of being performed in reduced spaces. Training in reduced spaces has proven to be different in complexity compared to adult laparoscopic endotrainers. Aim: To develop and validate a new neonatal/reduced-space endotrainer. Methods: The simulator was tested and assessed by users with different skill levels and experience in laparoscopic pediatric surgery through an 8-item questionnaire. Construct validity was determined by evaluating the performance of each subject on nine exercises. Results: A 10.5 x 10 x 18 cm acrylic simulator was created, with an internal working surface of 9 x 9 cm. An HD camera was incorporated, with a 0-180° range of movement. All exercises of a Basic Laparoscopic Training Program were adapted on a scale of 1:0.5 to fit in. From 49 participants, 42 (85.71%) answered the survey; 80.5% considered that the simulator reproduces similar conditions to procedures performed in children under one year of age; 61.1% thought that the simulator represents a difficulty identical to procedures performed in newborns; 73.7% considered that the neonatal simulator is more complicated than the adult simulator. Experts showed significantly better performance in all proposed exercises. Conclusion: The simulator has a high-quality image and design that allows training with basic tasks. The endotrainer permitted to discriminate between these different skill levels and was well evaluated by users with diverse surgical experience.


RESUMO Racional: Os procedimentos pediátricos têm dificuldade de serem realizados em espaços reduzidos. O treinamento nesses espaços provou ser diferente em dificuldade em comparação aos endotrainers laparoscópicos adultos. Objetivo: Desenvolver e validar um novo endotrainer neonatal com espaço reduzido. Métodos: O simulador foi criado, testado e avaliado por usuários com diferentes níveis de habilidade e experiência em cirurgia pediátrica laparoscópica por meio de um questionário de oito itens. A validação do método foi determinada pela avaliação do desempenho de cada participante em nove exercícios. Resultados: Foi criado um simulador acrílico de 10,5 x 10 x 18 cm, com uma superfície de trabalho interna de 9 x 9 cm. Uma câmera HD foi incorporada com faixa de movimento de 0-180°. Todos os exercícios do Programa de Treinamento Laparoscópico Básico foram adaptados em escala de 1:0,5 para se ajustarem. Dos 49 participantes, 42 (85,71%) responderam à pesquisa; 80,5% consideraram que o simulador reproduz condições semelhantes às de procedimentos realizados em crianças menores de um ano; 61,1% consideraram que o simulador representa dificuldade semelhante aos procedimentos realizados em recém-nascidos; 73,7% consideraram que o simulador neonatal é mais difícil que o simulador adulto. Especialistas apresentaram desempenho significativamente melhor em todos os exercícios propostos. Conclusão: O simulador possui imagem de alta qualidade e design que permitem o treinamento com exercícios básicos. O aparelho permitiu discriminar entre os diferentes níveis de habilidade e foi bem avaliado por usuários com experiência cirúrgica diversificada.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Objetivo: describir las características anatómicas, la evolución clínica y la sobrevida de los pacientes con atresia pulmonar que han sido llevados a angioplastia con stent en ductus arterioso persistente y determinar si existen diferencias significativas en la saturación al inicio y final del procedimiento y a las 6, 12 y 24 horas posprocedimiento. Materiales y métodos: estudio analítico, descriptivo tipo cohorte. La población de estudio se tomó de las bases de datos del servicio de Cardiología pediátrica de una institución especializada en la ciudad de Bogotá, Colombia. Se incluyeron pacientes con diagnóstico de atresia pulmonar sometidos a angioplastia, en tanto que se excluyeron aquellos con cirugía cardiovascular previa. El análisis estadístico se realizó en STATA® 12,0, mediante estadística descriptiva, curvas de Kaplan-Meier y ANOVA de medidas repetidas. Resultados: se identificaron 237 pacientes con atresia pulmonar. Se seleccionaron 30 de los cuales se excluyeron 5. En total se construyó una cohorte de 25 pacientes que fueron llevados a angioplastia, 52% con atresia pulmonar con comunicación interventricular. Edad promedio 12,2 días, peso 2.698 g, diámetro del DAP 3,8 mm (DE = 1,1), índice de McGoon media 1,35. El implante del stent fue exitoso en todos los pacientes; sin embargo 2 fallecieron en la sala de procedimientos y uno durante las 6 horas siguientes. Las complicaciones más frecuentes fueron paro cardiorrespiratorio (n = 2), trombosis del stent (n = 2) y bacteriemia (n = 2). La mortalidad a 30 días fue del 28% (n = 7); durante el tiempo total fue del 36% (n = 9). Por medio del ANOVA no se encontraron diferencias significativas en los promedios de saturación en los cinco tiempos de interés. Conclusiones: la atresia pulmonar es una patología compleja que requiere intervención invasiva para el mantenimiento de la capacidad circulatoria de los pacientes. Este estudio muestra que a pesar de una intervención efectiva, la mortalidad a los 30 días es elevada. No se encontraron diferencias en los tiempos de saturación, lo que sugiere que mantiene la saturación de los pacientes de una forma no distinta que con la prostaglandina E (PGE1) pero garantiza la permeabilidad del ductus.


Abstract Objective: the aim of this study is to describe the anatomical characteristics, the clinical progression, and survival of patients with pulmonary atresia subjected to angioplasty with a stent in patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), and to determine if there are significant difference in the saturation at the beginning and the end of the procedure, and at 6, 12, and 24 hours after the procedure. Materials and methods: An analytical and descriptive cohort study was conducted on a population taken from the database of a Paediatric Cardiology Department of a specialised institution in the city of Bogota, Colombia. Patients with pulmonary atresia subjected to angioplasty were included, and those with previous cardiovascular were excluded. The statistical analysis was performed using STATA® 12.0, by means of descriptive statistics, Kaplan-Meier curves and repeated measurements ANOVA. Results: A total of 237 patients with pulmonary atresia were identified. Of the 30 that were selected, 5 were excluded, leaving a total of 25 patients that were subjected to angioplasty. Interventricular communication was observed in 52%. The mean age was 12.2 days, with a mean weight of 2.698 g, a mean PDA diameter of 3.8 mm (SD = 1.1), and a mean McGoon index of 1.35. Although the stent implant was successful in all patients, two died in the procedures room, and another one during the following 6 hours. The most common complications were, cardiorespiratory arrest in 2 patients, thrombosis of the stent in 2, and bacteraemia in two patients. The mortality at 30 days was 28% (7), and 36% (9) during the total time. Using ANOVA, no significant differences were found in the saturation means at the five times of interest. Conclusions: Pulmonary atresia is a complicated condition that requires invasive intervention in order to maintain the circulatory capacity of the patients. This study shows that, despite an effective intervention, the 30-day mortality is elevated. No differences were, found in the saturation times, which suggest that saturation is maintained in the patients in a way not unlike that with prostaglandin E (PGE1), but ensures the patency of the ductus.

ABSTRACT

Trayendo a la memoria hechos acaecidos hace un tiempo y con el fin de conservarlos para las futuras generaciones de morfólogos, es que son analizados los acontecimientos que condicionan el comienzo de la Sociedad Chilena de Anatomía, sus primeras directivas, publicaciones y reuniones, tanto nacionales como internacionales. Se realizó una búsqueda que incluyó relatos, revisión de estatutos, archivos digitales y revistas oficiales de la misma Sociedad, desde 1979 en que fue fundada hasta 1991, fecha en que coincidieron algunos cambios en las revistas, periodos de directorios y el fin de la presencia de los socios fundadores en los directorios y organización de los eventos futuros. Fueron revisados los primeros estatutos de la Sociedad, se hizo una descripción cronológica de los encuentros nacionales que derivaron posteriormente en congresos, evidenciando la evolución de las revistas de divulgación oficial de la misma y la instauración de reconocimientos hacia sus miembros más destacados.


With the aim of bringing to mind events that occurred some time ago, and in order to preserve them for future generations of morphologists, the authors make an analysis of the facts that conditioned the beginnings of the Chilean Society of Anatomy such as, the society´s first board of directors, publications and national and international meetings. A search was carried out that included anecdotes, reviews of statutes, digital archives and official society journals, from 1979 when it was established, until 1991 the year during which some changes were introduced in the journals, the duration periods for the board of directors and the termination of the founding partners' participation on the board and organization of future events. It was possible to review the society's initial statutes, make a chronological description of the national meetings and subsequent congresses, and of the society´s official journals and establishment of recognitions towards its most outstanding members.

ABSTRACT

Desde los inicios, anatomistas y patólogos se unen en el año 1938 creando la Sociedad de Anatomía Normal y Patológica, con el fin de estimular sus investigaciones, buscar relacionarse tempranamente con morfólogos del resto de América y potenciar sus publicaciones en los Archivos Chilenos de Morfología. Es así como morfólogos chilenos provenientes de las principales Universidades del país participan por primera vez en Congresos y Jornadas tanto nacionales como internacionales. Quizás el trabajo en común con los cadáveres fue un punto fundamental en sus inicios, más el avance de los conocimientos en cada una de estas disciplinas y diferencias políticas posteriores serían dos hechos que explicarían que se separasen posteriormente en el año 1970. Sería por tanto, el primer esfuerzo de reunirse en torno a una Sociedad de Morfólogos en Chile, la base para la futura Sociedad Chilena de Anatomía.


From the beginnings, anatomists and pathologists are united in the year 1938 creating the Society of Normal and Pathological AnatomyChilean in order to stimulate their investigations, seek to relate early with morphologists of the rest of America and to promote their publications in the Chilean Archives of Morphology. This is how Chilean morphologists participate for the first time in national and international congresses and conferences from the main universities in the country. Perhaps the work in common with the corpses was a fundamental point in its beginnings, more, the advance of the knowledge in each of these disciplines and later political differences would be two facts that would explain that they separated later in the year 1970. It would be therefore The first effort to gather around a Society of morphologists in Chile, would be the basis for the future Chilean Society of Anatomy.

ABSTRACT

El impacto de la diabetes tipo 1 (DM1) en el rendimiento escolar es controversial. Objetivo: Evaluar la relación entre rendimiento escolar y control metabólico en niños con DM1 (N-DM1) y comparar sus resultados con niños de la población general (N-PG). Pacientes y Método: Se revisaron datos clínicos de 66 N-DM1. Se compararon las calificaciones de N-DM1 según Hemoglobina Glicosilada (HbA1c) < 7,5% y ≥ 7,5% con N-PG del mismo nivel, comuna, tipo de colegio (municipal, particular subvencionado y particular pagado) y localidad. Para la comparación de los grupos se utilizó la regresión lineal simple y el test de suma de los rangos de Wilcoxon (Mann y Whitney) previa comprobación de incumplimiento de normalidad con el test de Shapiro-Wilk según el caso. Se consideró un valor de p < 0,05 como estadísticamente significativo con una confiabilidad del 95%. Resultados: La edad fue 13,4 ± 2,9 años, tiempo de evolución DM1 5,3 ± 3,2 años, HbA1c 8,6 ± 1,9% y controles de glicemia capilar 3,2 ± 1,2 veces por día. Las calificaciones no mostraron correlación con HbA1c, duración de DM1, hipotiroidismo, problemas de salud mental, antecedentes de hipoglicemia ni de cetoacidosis. N-DM1 de educación básica mostraron calificaciones inferiores a N-PG del mismo nivel 5,6 ± 0,7 vs 6,0 ± 0,2 (p = 0,0002). Las calificaciones se correlacionaron con el número de controles diarios de glicemia capilar, coeficiente de correlación de Pearson (r) de 0,25, 0,41, 0,52 y 0,58 con el promedio general, matemática, lenguaje e historia respectivamente (p < 0,05). Un 6,1% de N-DM1 y 4,8% de N-PG no fue promovido de curso (p = 0,65). La deserción escolar fue 10,5% en N-DM1 y 7,7% en N-PG (p = 0,47). Conclusión: N-DM1que cursaban educación básica tuvieron calificaciones inferiores a N-PG y los pacientes que controlaban su glicemia capilar con mayor frecuencia mostraron mejores calificaciones. La DM1 puede tener un impacto deletéreo en el rendimiento escolar.


The impact of type 1 diabetes (T1D) on school performance is controversial. Objective: To study the relationship between school performance and metabolic control in children with T1D (Ch-T1D), comparing their school grades to general population children (Ch-GP). Patients and Method: Clinical data for 66 Ch-T1D was reviewed, school grades were compared in Ch-T1D with Glycated Haemoglobin (HbA1c) HbA1c < 7.5% and ≥ 7.5%. School marks were also compared between Ch-T1D and Ch-GP from the same level, community and school type (public, private o chartered). Simple linear regression analysis and Mann Whitney test were used to compare groups. A p < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: Ch-T1D were: 13.4 ± 2.9 years old, T1D duration: 5.3 ± 3.2 years, HbA1c was 8.6 ± 1.9% and capillary blood glucose was measured 3.2 ± 1.2 times per day. Grade averages showed no correlation with HbA1c, diabetes duration, hypothyroidism, mental health issues, neither with hypoglycemia or ketoacidosis records. However, primary education Ch-T1D showed lower grades than Ch-GP 5.6 ± 0.7 and 6.0 ± 0.2 (p = 0,0002). School grades correlated with the number of capillary blood glucose readings per day, Pearson correlation coefficient (r) 0.25, 0.41, 0.52 and 0.58 with general grade point average, math, language, and history average respectively (p < 0.05). School non-pass rate was 6.1% in Ch-T1D and 4.8% in Ch-GP (p = 0.65) and school dropout rate was 10.5% in Ch-T1D and 7.7% in Ch-GP (p = 0.47). Conclusion: Ch-T1D attending primary school showed lower school grades than Ch-GP, and patients who more frequently checked capillary blood glucose showed better school grades. T1D may have a deleterious impact on school performance.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Reportar casos de linfadenoma sebáceo, un tumor raro, localizado principalmente en la glándula parótida, con muy pocos casos descritos en la literatura. Casos clínicos: Presentamos 2 casos de esta rara afección, tratados en el Hospital Universitario Miguel Servet de Zaragoza, de enero de 2010 a diciembre de 2014. El diagnóstico, tanto por imagen como citológico, es difícil debido a su baja prevalencia y a la gran variedad de tumores de glándula parótida que existen. En los 2 casos presentados ha sido necesaria la exéresis para llegar al diagnóstico. El tratamiento curativo consiste en la exéresis completa de la tumoración.


Aim: To report a rare parotid tumour: sebaceous lymphadenoma, with very few cases reported in the literature. Cases report: We present 2 cases of lymphadenoma sebaceous of the parotid gland treated by surgery at University Hospital Miguel Servet of Zaragoza between January 2010 and December 2014. The diagnosis, both radiological and cytological, is difficult because of their low prevalence and the great variety of parotid gland tumors existent. In our 2 cases described, excision has been required for diagnosis. A complete excision of the tumor is required for curative treatment.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Comparar la salud, uso de servicios sanitarios y necesidad insatisfecha de atención médica (NIAM) entre inmigrantes y nativos del sureste español. Material y métodos. Estudio transversal de dos muestras representativas de población: inmigrante (n=1150) y nativa (n=1303; Encuesta Nacional de Salud). Se creó una única base de datos con ponderación específica para cada muestra y se estimaron razones de prevalencia (RP) mediante regresión multivariante. Resultados. Marroquíes, ecuatorianos y europeos del este (EE) declararon peor salud que los nativos (RPs [IC95%]: 2.45 [1.91-3.15]; 1.51 [1.28-1.79] y 1.44 [1.08-1.93], respectivamente). Los inmigrantes hicieron mayor uso de las urgencias (excepto EE) y consumieron menos fármacos. Los marroquíes mostraron la mayor diferencia en la frecuencia de NIAM (RP [IC95%]: 12.20 [5.25-28.37]), principalmente por razones laborales (46%). Conclusiones. La salud y el uso de servicios sanitarios difirieron significativamente entre inmigrantes y nativos. Destaca la NIAM alta en marroquíes por causa laboral.


Objective. To compare the self-perceived health, use of health services and unmet need for health care (UNHC) among immigrants and native populations of Southeast Spain. Materials and methods. Cross-sectional study of two representative samples of 1150 immigrants, and 1303 native participants from the National Health Survey. A single database was created with specific weights for each sample, and prevalence ratios (PR) were estimated by multivariate regression. Results. Moroccans, Ecuadorians and Eastern Europeans (EE) reported poorer health than the native population (PRs [CI95%]: 2.45 [1.91-3.15]; 1.51 [1.28-1.79] and 1.44 [1.08-1.93], respectively). Immigrants made greater use of emergencies that natives (except for EE) and had lower use of medication. Moroccan showed the greatest difference in the frequency of UNHC (PR [CI95%]:12.20 [5.25 - 28.37]), mainly because of working limitations (46%). Conclusions. The health status and use of health services among immigrants differ significantly from those of natives. Results highlight the higher frequency of UNHC among immigrants, especially high in Moroccans.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: las enfermedades transmitidas por alimentos constituyen, según la Organización Mundial de la Salud, uno de los problemas más extendidos en el mundo actual y una causa importante de disminución de la productividad para países, empresas, familias e individuos. Métodos: se realizó un estudio observacional descriptivo retrospectivo de las enfermedades transmitidas por alimentos en Villa Clara en el período del 2004 al 2008, con el propósito de caracterizarlas. Se trabajó con los 371 brotes reportados y toda la información se obtuvo a través de la vigilancia epidemiológica. Las variables utilizadas fueron: incidencia de brotes, tipo de brotes, lugar de ocurrencia, alimento implicado y agente causal. Los métodos utilizados fueron frecuencias absolutas, porcentajes, tasas de incidencia y chi cuadrado. Resultados: los brotes más frecuentes fueron los causados por alimentos, y se identificaron como principales causantes los cárnicos y los embutidos. La vivienda fue el lugar donde ocurrieron con mayor frecuencia. Predominó la procedencia estatal. Conclusiones: el principal agente causal de las enfermedades transmitidas por alimentos fue el Estafilococo aureus.

ABSTRACT

Half of the 10 million children who die annually in the world are from Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The reasons are known; but lack of will and resources avoid the development of sustainable policies. Associated factors to the high infant mortality rate (IMR) in SSA have been investigated in this research. An ecological multi-group study was designed comparing rates within SSA. The dependent variable is the IMR and health services; economic and development indicators are the independent variables. Information and data sources were WHO; World Bank; UNICEF and UNDP (1997-2007). IMR mean value is 92.2 (per 1000 live births) and a relationship with several of the factors could be observed. In the bi-variate analysis direct relationship was observed with maternal mortality rate and an inverse relationship was observed with prenatal care coverage; births assisted by skilled health personnel; gross national income per capita; per capita government expenditure on health; social security expenditure; adult literacy rate; net primary school enrolment rate; population with access to safe drinking water (in urban and rural areas) and with population with access to basic sanitation in rural areas. In the multi-variate analysis IMR had an inverse relationship with children under 5 years with diarrhoea who receive oral re-hydration; with social security expenditure as percentage of general government expenditure on health and with per capita government expenditure on health. The situation in SSA would change if their inhabitants received education and information to demand more equitable polices and better investments from their governments
