Insights

Vaccination delays in Jordanian children under two were linked to age and birth order. Parental education and employment also influenced delayed vaccinations, highlighting areas for intervention.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Health
  • Public Health
  • Vaccinology

Background:

  • Vaccination is crucial for child health and preventing infectious disease outbreaks.
  • Understanding factors contributing to vaccination delays is essential for improving immunization rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between socio-demographic factors and delayed vaccinations in Jordanian children.
  • To identify specific reasons for vaccination delays among children under two years of age.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted in Amman, Jordan.
  • Data was collected from electronic vaccination records of children under two.
  • Socio-demographic information and reasons for vaccination delay were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • 8.3% of children experienced vaccination delays.
  • Significant associations were found between delayed vaccination and child's age, birth order, mother's education, and parents' employment status.
  • Statistical significance was established using Chi-square tests (p < 0.05).

Conclusions:

  • Promoting timely vaccination is vital for child protection and disease prevention.
  • Age and birth order are significant factors influencing vaccination timeliness.
  • Targeted interventions are needed to reduce vaccination delays and enhance immunization coverage.

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection01:26

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

Factors Affecting Illness

When a person's physical, emotional, intellectual, social development or spiritual functioning is compromised, this deviation from a healthy normal state is called illness. Illness creates stress that in turn harms individuals. Irritation, anger, denial, hopelessness, and fear are behavioral and emotional changes an individual experiences in the phases of illness. A variety of factors influence a person's health and well-being.
For instance, risk factors are connected to illness,...

Factors Affecting Protein-Drug Binding: Patient-Related Factors

Protein-drug binding, a pivotal aspect of pharmacokinetics, is subject to considerable variability influenced by an array of patient-related factors. The intricate interplay of age, individual differences, and pathological conditions significantly impact the binding dynamics and subsequent pharmacological effects.
Age stands as a key determinant in protein-drug binding. Neonates, characterized by low albumin content, experience heightened concentrations of unbound drugs such as phenytoin and...

Factors Affecting Drug Distribution: Physiological Barriers

Drug distribution in the body is intricately regulated by various physiological barriers that control the passage of substances. These include the capillary endothelial barrier, the blood-brain, blood-cerebrospinal fluid, blood-placental, and blood-testis barriers.
The capillary endothelial barrier allows only smaller molecules below 600 Da (Daltons) to pass through. It also restricts drugs like heparin that are bound to blood components, limiting their movement within the bloodstream.

Factors Affecting Pulmonary Ventilation01:19

Factors Affecting Pulmonary Ventilation

Besides the pressure difference between the external environment and the lungs, the airflow rate and ease of pulmonary ventilation are also influenced by three other factors: surface tension of the fluid in the alveoli, compliance of the lungs, and airway resistance.
Alveolar Surface Tension
The alveolar fluid lines the luminal surface of the alveoli and exerts a force called surface tension. This force is caused by the polar water molecules in the liquid being more strongly attracted to each...
