简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to study the impact of sodium supplementation on hospital outcomes of children with pneumonia.
It aims to answer:
- Does sodium supplementation lower the length of hospital stay in children with pneumonia?
- Does potassium supplementation lower the length of hospital stay in children with pneumonia?
Researchers will compare the intervention arm to the control arm to see if the intervention lowers the length of hospital stay.
Participants will:
• Take one sachet of oral rehydration solution (ORS) every day for 3 days.
详细描述
The study is a randomized clinical trial that will be conducted on hospitalized children with pneumonia after considering exclusion criteria.
The enrolled children will be randomly divided into two groups: the intervention group and the control group. The intervention group will receive the ORS daily for 3 days.
All children will be followed until discharge from the hospital, and their clinical outcomes will be assessed.
