Abstract

Objectives: Describe some factors related to stunting malnutrition in pediatric pneumonia patients at Hai Phong Children Hospital in 2019. Methods: Descriptive study on 225 pediatric pneumonia patients at Hai Phong Children Hospital. Results: There were 29.8% of children with pneumonia suffering from stunting malnutrition, of which primary malnutrition accounted for 73.1%. Children aged 36 - 48 months accounted for 75%. Factors such as: Children are not fully immunized, children with anemia, low birth weight < 2500 grams, living in low-income families, living in families with more than 2 children have a higher risk of stunting malnutrition than those who are fully vaccinated, without anemic, have birth weight ≥ 2500 grams, high family income, number of children in the family ≤ 2. Conclusion: The rate of stunting malnutrition in pediatric pneumonia patients is still quite high at 29.8%, most of them is grade 1 malnutrition and is common in the age group of 36-48 months. Some factors that increase the risk of stunting malnutrition are: Not fully vaccinated, anemia, low birth weight, low family income, family with > 2 children
