Pneumonia Surveillance in Children

Pneumonia was diagnosed with chest radiography, and interpretation was accepted as written in the medical charts of patients, reporting either lobar pneumonia or bronchopneumonia, and empyema with or without pneumothorax. These reports are aligned to the WHO Standard for reporting chest radiographs in which there is presence of a dense or ﬂuffy opacity that occupies a portion or whole of a lobe or of the entire lung, presence of ﬂuid in the lateral pleural space between the lung and chest wall, or both.^{10 ,11 (link)}The endpoints were number of pneumonia hospitalizations and deaths among children 3–24-month-old. The proportion of pneumonia hospitalizations was calculated before and after vaccination periods. The case-fatality rates were calculated from the deaths among the pneumonia admissions.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
