Clinical Profiles, Management, and Outcomes of Complicated Pneumonia in Children: A Retrospective Study from Tertiary Centers in Jordan
Complicated pneumonia in children remains a diverse and clinically significant condition. The findings demonstrate that prolonged symptom duration prior to hospitalization and certain clinical interventions were associated with prior antibiotic exposure. These results provide insight into local disease patterns and prescribing behaviors, which may help inform strategies to optimize antimicrobial stewardship and improve care pathways for affected children.
