• W4324139005 abstract "Background and Aim: Globally, community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is the most common source of mortality among children. Early diagnosis and effective management need the identification of risk factors. The purpose of this study was to characterize the clinical symptoms and investigation of various risk factors for severe CAP in children. Patients and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 186 children in the Pediatric Department of Niazi Welfare Teaching Hospital, Sargodha from March 2022 to November 2022. Children with pneumonia who had radiological confirmation were included. Community-acquired pneumonia cases were categorized into two groups: Group-I composed of severe CAP cases whereas Group-II non-severe CAP cases. Baseline characteristics such as age, nutritional status, and gender were collected. Vital signs, fever, duration of symptoms, and physical findings such as chest retraction, cyanosis, wheezing, and nasal faring were clinical data recorded. Laboratory findings such as serum electrolyte, full blood count, and inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were recorded. SPSS version 27 was used for data analysis. Results: Of the total 186 children, there were 74 (39.8%) females and 112 (60.2%) male. Age-wise distribution of patients were as follows: 146 (78.5%) in 0-5 years, 26 (14%) in 6-10 years, and 14 (7.5%) in 11-15 years. Out of 186 children, the incidence of severe and non-severe CAP was 58 (31.2%) and 130 (68.8%) respectively. The most common clinical signs in both categories are fever and cough, followed by reduced appetite, vomiting, and shortness of breath. A seizure is present in 14 (24.1%) severe CAP cases. Based on physical examination, Rhonchi is found in 94 (72.3%) non-severe and 46 (79.3%) severe CAP patients. Among patients with severe pneumonia, over half have chest retractions, but only 22% have non-severe pneumonia. Tachypnea was experienced by approximately 33% of severe pneumonia patients against 14% of individuals with non-severe pneumonia. As inflammatory indicators, ESR and CRP are high in all groups. Conclusion: The present study concluded that a fever persisting for >7 days and an elevation in RR are risk factors for severe pneumonia. Severe pneumonia is also prevented by a normal hematocrit level and BMI. There was a higher rate of severe pneumonia in CAP hospitalizations in children who had fevers lasting longer than seven days as well as tachypnea. According to these findings, RR should be utilized to determine both the severity of pneumonia and the identification of pneumonia.
