Variations in length of stay and cost of pediatric pneumonia hospitalizations according to patient and institutional factors
Substantial variation exists in the length of stay and costs for pediatric pneumonia hospitalizations across different types of healthcare institutions. This variation was particularly pronounced in hospitals and clinics. To enhance the quality of pneumonia care and reduce this variability, policy interventions such as the promotion of clinical guidelines and institutional quality assessments are necessary.
