In all 83 cases of under 16 years old parents with DHF treated in Khanh Hoa provincial hospital in the year 2000, prognostic factors were investigated. The role of gender in mortality was not clear. The role of nutritional factors was not determined. The age of 5-10 years old is the most vulnerable. The high morbidity of infants under 1 year old of age with severe DHF was high, possibly because of the decrease of neutralizing antibody of passive immune transferred from mother to child. In addition the increase of capillary permeability can play a role

The number of haemorrhagic dengue fever hospitalized at Khanh Hoa province was high during 1989-1998. The recorded peak of outbreak in 1992, 1995 and 1998 were 2212, 5358 and 7454 cases, respectively. The number of patients was high from May to November. 67,1% were the children under 15 years old. The patients at Nha Trang consisted highly 76,1%, followed by Cam Ranh 11,1%, Dien Khanh 95%. The vector controlling indexes were high during 1995-1997, the intervention was decreased, but it quickly returned to the beginning.

A study on 1,741 patients with diarrhea admitted to Khanh Hoa hospital in 1998 was carried out to evaluate the clinical, epidemiological, microbial features and the antibiotic response. The results have shown that the highest rate of antibiotic resistance ocurred in cephalosporines and quinolons

Background: Suicide continues to be a leading cause of death worldwide. Recently, more than 45,000 children in the age group of 10 to 19 years died by suicide, making it the second leading cause of death in the age group of 15 to 19, surpassed only by traffic accidents, tuberculosis, and fighting. Objective: To determine the prevalence of suicidal ideation among adolescents whose parents are separated/divorced; and to explore the factors associated with suicidal ideation and describe adverse experiences among adolescents. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in 309 adolescents with separated/separated parents in Hue City. Data was collected through direct interviews using a structured questionnaire. Suicidal ideation was defined as the presence of thoughts or plans related to suicide within the last 12 months. Multivariate logistic regression was applied to identify factors associated with suicidal ideation in adolescents with separated/ separated parents. Results: The study found that 15.5% (95% CI:11.7 - 20.1) of adolescents with separated /separated parents reported experiencing suicidal thoughts, in which men accounted 8.4% (95% CI:5.6 – 11.2) and women accounted 7.1% (95% CI:4.5 - 10.6). Several factors were identified as increasing the risk of suicidal ideation, including alcohol use (OR = 3.24; 95% CI:1.42 - 7.42), hyperactivity/inattention (OR = 4.96; 95% CI:1.58 - 15.605), and a poor quality of family relationships (OR = 4.82; 95% CI:1.26 - 18.50). On the contrary, certain factors were found to reduce the risk, including being in the 14-15 age group of 14-15 (OR = 0.26; 95% CI:0.10 - 0.69) and participating in physical activity (OR = 0.44; 95% CI:0.21 – 0.94). Conclusions: The research highlights a significant percentage of adolescents with separated / divided parents who experience suicidal ideation. Therefore, it is imperative for families, schools, and society to develop comprehensive strategies to monitor and address various risky behaviours among students simultaneously.
