简要总结

The overall mean length of hospital stay was 3.97 (SD = 1.5) days, and 27 deaths occurred. We found that being hospitalized in the intervention hospital was associated with staying for one day less than being hospitalized in the control hospital (better coefficient = -0.69, 95% CI = -1.00, -0.38). Less mortality rate was observed in the intervention compared to the control hospital, but the difference was not statistically significant.

入选标准

  • The parent/guardian admitted with child must consent for the child to participate in the study.
  • The child must be diagnosed with pneumonia by the attending physician based on history and presentation of signs on examination. The main clinical signs the physicians assessment data must indicate are: presence of cough, dyspnea, age-specific WHO-defined tachypnea, and pleurisy as the hallmark signs as was suggested by (Prasad, 2013; Wingerter, Bachur, Monuteaux, & Neuman, 2012). Chest radiography indicative of a confirmatory test will not be included as a diagnosing criterion because it is not done routinely in Tanzania. Along with parent’s/ care giver’s consent, older children of age 8-12 will have to give an assent for them to take part in the study.

排除标准

  • Has been diagnosed of pneumonia but has a comorbid medical/surgical condition that would confound the outcome; such as pneumonia and HIV or pneumonia and malaria
  • Died within one hour after admission.
