Outcome and management of 2–59-month-old Nigerian children with chest indrawing pneumonia at primary-level healthcare facilities: a prospective cohort study
PHC HCWs rarely diagnosed chest indrawing pneumonia, and one-third of the patients were lost to follow up leading to a smaller than expected sample and therefore an imprecise CFR. Improving HCW capacity to identify and manage pneumonia, alongside strengthening IMCI implementation, is critical to reducing preventable child deaths in this setting.
