Abstract Abstract Objective: the aim of the study was to assess the proportion of maternal complication related to instrumental vaginal delivery and its associated factors among mothers who gave birth in Felege Hiwot comprehensive specialized hospital, northwest Ethiopia. Results: Records of 406 mothers managed with instrumental vaginal delivery were reviewed and 97% of reviewed card had complete documentation. The proportion of maternal complications due instrumental vaginal delivery was found to be 12.1%. A mother who had an episiotomy [AOR=0.14, 95%CI=0.07-0.3], Forceps assisted vaginal delivery [AOR=3.4, 95%CI=1.08-10.67] and primiparity [AOR=3.5, 95%CI=1.26-9.98] were found to be associated with maternal complications related to instrumental vaginal delivery.

Objectives: This study assessed the prevalence and associated factors of pneumonia among children under-five years presenting with acute respiratory symptoms. Methodology: This was a cross sectional study at the Pediatric Department of Kampala International University – Teaching Hospital, from the month of April to August 2019. The study included 336 children aged 2 to 59 months presenting with acute respiratory symptoms to the pediatric clinic. Pneumonia diagnosis was made according to the World Health Organization definition, modified by a chest radiograph. Structured questionnaires were used to collect data on socio-demographic, environmental and nutrition factors and multivariate logistic regression analysis using STATA version 13.0 was done to assess for the factors independently associated with pneumonia. Results: Of the 336 children with acute respiratory symptoms, eighty-six, 86 (25.6%) had pneumonia. Factors significantly associated with pneumonia included: age below 6 months (OR=3.2, 95%CI=1.17-8.51, p=0.023), rural residence (OR=5.7, 95%CI=2.97-11.05, p <0.001), not up-to-date for age immunization status (OR=2.9, 95%CI=1.05-7.98, p=0.039), severe acute malnutrition (OR=10.8, 95%CI=2.01-58.41, p=0.006), lack of exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months (OR=2.9, 95%CI=1.53-5.53, p=0.001) and exposure to cigarette smoke (OR=3.0, 95%CI=1.35-6.80, p=0.007). Conclusion: The prevalence of pneumonia in children under-five years was high. Most of the factors associated with pneumonia are modifiable; addressing these factors could reduce this prevalence. Keywords: Pneumonia; prevalence; under-fives.
