Abstract

Objective: The study aims to describe the characteristics and some related factors in 158 children aged 06-59 months diagnosed with pneumonia and treated as inpatients at Xanh Pon General Hospital in 2023-2024. Research design: Cross-sectional descriptive study. Results: The study on 158 children showed that boys accounted for 58.2% more than girls at 41.8%; the group of children aged 12-23 months accounted for the highest rate of 36.7%; full-term children accounted for 86.7%, the number of premature children was 13.3%; children with birth weight ≥ 2500g were mainly 89.3% and 10.7% of children had birth weight < 2500g; the study also showed that the majority of children participating in the study were born as the second child in the family with the highest rate of 48.8%. The rate of children with normal nutritional status in girls is higher than in boys (72.7% compared to 64.1%), while in the rate of malnourished children, the opposite is true: boys have a higher rate of malnutrition than girls (35.9% compared to 27.3%). Children hospitalized with pneumonia with unidentified causes account for a high proportion: 74.7%. There were 25.3% of children with pneumonia have an identified cause of the disease, of which the cause is due to mycoplasma 15.8% and the rest are due to other causes accounting for 9.5% such as RSV (+), influenza (+), staphylococcus aureus, pneumococcus. The study showed that children who are the second child have a 2.3 times higher risk of malnutrition than children who are the first child. This difference is statistically significant with p<0.05. The characteristics of the child's medical condition do not correlate with the child's nutritional status (p> 0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study show that the rate of malnutrition is still quite high (32.2%), children who are the second child have a higher risk of malnutrition than children who are the first child.
