Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To find out some factors related to the results of treatment of acute respiratory infections at the 24-hour examination and treatment department, National Children's Hospital. Subjects: Children from 2 months to less than 60 months old, with acute period less than 7 days, were examined and treated inpatient at the department. Research Methods: A prospective descriptive study. Results: A study on 203 patients the boy/girl ratio was 1.9/1, the mean age was 17.1±12.1 (months), mainly over 12: months old. Patients hospitalized due to acute lower respiratory tract infections (76.9%), 3.3 times higher than the number of patients hospitalized due to acute upper respiratory tract infections, bronchopneumonia (38.9%) accounted for the highest rate. Patients were discharged from the 24h ward, accounting for 84.7%, the rate of patients getting worse and needing to be transferred to high level accounted for 15.3%, no patient died. There was no differences in treatment outcomes for acute respiratory infections related to sex, between groups above and below 12 months, white blood cell values, CRP, nasopharyngeal fluid culture, RSV infection. The median hospital stay of the acute upper respiratory tract infection group was shorter than that of the acute lower respiratory tract infection. Conclusion: Boys are more common than girls, mainly over 12 months old; lower respiratory tract infections, especially bronchopneumonia, accounted for the majority. There were no differences in treatment outcomes related to age, sex, white blood cell count, CRP, nasopharyngeal culture results, RSV infection. Hospital stay for acute upper respiratory tract infections is shorter than for acute lower respiratory tract infections
