METHODS The study was a cross sectional study conducted at Paediatric A unit of Ayub teaching hospital from 1st October, 2018 to 31st March, 2019. All patients aged 1 month and above who required admission for various respiratory ailments were included in the study. RESULTS A total of 2255 patients were admitted in Paediatric A unit over a six months period. Of these, 603 (26.74%) patients were admitted with various respiratory problems and were included in the study. Among these, 389 (64.5%) patients were male and 214 (35.5%) were female. Mean age of the participants was 18.77±30.87 months. The major disease categories were bronchopneumonia in 189 (31.3%), bronchiolitis in 176 (29.2%), measles pneumonia in 60 (10%), lobar pneumonia in 52 (8.6%) and upper RTI in 32 (5.3%). Mean duration of stay was 3.13±2.08 days. Majority of the patients 482 (79.9%) were up to 24 months of age, followed by 77 (12.8%) patients in 25-60 months age and 44 (7.3%) patients more than 60 months of age. A total 295 (48.92%) patients were vaccinated while 308 (51.07%) patients were either partially vaccinated 116 (19.2%) or unvaccinated 192 (31.8%). A total of 576 (95.5%) patients were discharged, 17 (2.8%) patients expired and 5 (0.8%) were referred to higher specialty. Bronchopneumonia was the leading cause of mortality in this study.
