Time to recovery from severe pneumonia and its predictors among pediatric patients admitted in Mizan-Tepi University Teaching Hospital, South West Ethiopia, 2022

Abstract

Despite trials and programs for the prevention of childhood mortality due to pneumonia, Ethiopia is among the top five countries with the highest number of deaths due to pneumonia. Although the prevalence of pneumonia has increased in the above-mentioned trials, little is known about the recovery time from severe pneumonia and its predictors in the study area. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the time to recovery from severe pneumonia and its predictors among pediatric patients admitted to Mizan-Tepi University Teaching Hospital, Ethiopia, in 2022.
