Hospitalisation and critical care for pneumonia among children aged 5–9 years in Bangladesh: a 10-year retrospective analysis
Our results suggest that early recognition and prompt treatment of hypoxemia, convulsions, sepsis, and hypokalaemia may significantly reduce the need for critical care and possibly avert fatal consequences in children with pneumonia, aged 5-9, especially in resource-limited settings.
