“…Children living in households in which there were no kitchen partitions were four times at increased risk of developing ARI than children living in households that have separate kitchen. This result was in agreement with a study conducted in Nigeria in which cooking was done in the same room where the child sleeps and thus the child was found to have a 3-fold greater risk of ARIs than children belonging to households that have its separate kitchen [ 5 ]. It was also consistent with the study in Burkina Faso, in which children in household, where the kitchen were inside the living room, were found to be four times more likely to develop ARI than children of their counterparts [ 27 ].…”

“…The result is also comparable with a study done in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, that showed children living in a house that uses biomass fuel for cooking and heating were three times more likely to develop ARI [ 10 ]. It was also consistent with study in Ibadan, Nigeria [ 5 ], where the use of biomass fuel was four times more likely to increase the risk of developing ARI than households that were dependent on clean fuels. This might be due to the process of burning biomass fuels in simple stoves with incomplete combustion emitting hundreds of harmful chemical substances in the form of gases, aerosols, and suspended droplets that adversely affect the respiratory tract which result in respiratory infections [ 23 ].…”

Background. Most of the households in developing countries burn biomass fuel in traditional stoves with incomplete combustion that leads to high indoor air pollution and acute respiratory infections. Acute respiratory infection is the most common cause of under-five morbidity and mortality accounting for 2 million deaths worldwide and responsible for 18% of deaths among under-five children in Ethiopia. Although studies were done on acute respiratory infections, the majority of studies neither clinically diagnose respiratory infections nor use instant measurement of particulate matter. Methods. The community-based cross-sectional study design was employed among under-five children in Jimma town from May 21 to June 7, 2020. A total of 265 children through systematic random sampling were included in the study. The data were collected using a pretested semistructured questionnaire and laser pm 2.5 meter for indoor particulate matter concentration. Associations among factors were assessed through correlation analysis, and binary logistic regression was done to predict childhood acute respiratory infections. Variables with p -value less than 0.25 in bivariate regression were the candidate for the final multivariate logistic regression. Two independent sample t-tests were done to compare significant mean difference between concentrations of particulate matter. Results. Among 265 under-five children who were involved in the study, 179 (67.5%) were living in households that predominantly use biomass fuel. Prevalence of acute respiratory infections in the study area was 16%. Children living in households that use biomass fuel were four times more likely to develop acute respiratory infections than their counterparts (AOR: 4.348; 95% CI: 1.632, 11.580). The size of household was significantly associated with the prevalence of acute respiratory infections. Under-five children living in households that have a family size of six and greater had odds of 1.7 increased risk of developing acute respiratory infections than their counterparts (AOR: 1.7; 95% CI: 1.299, 2.212). The other factor associated with acute respiratory infection was separate kitchen; children living in households in which there were no separate kitchen were four times at increased risk of developing acute respiratory infection than children living in households which have separate kitchen (AOR: 4.591; 95% CI: 1.849, 11.402). The concentration of indoor particulate matter was higher in households using biomass fuel than clean fuel. There was statistically higher particulate matter concentration in the kitchen than living rooms (t = 4.509, p ≤ 0.001 ). Particulate matter 2.5 concentrations (μg/m3) of the households that had parental smoking were significantly higher than their counterparts (AOR: 20.224; 95% CI: 1.72, 12.58). Conclusion. There is an association between acute respiratory infections and biomass fuel usage among under-five children. Focusing on improved energy sources is essential to reduce the burden and assure the safety of children.

“…The possible explanation for lower respiratory tract infections were contagious and are easily transmittable from household contacts to children. These infections were often viral in origin and which may be seen as the consequence of progression from milder forms of lower respiratory tract to predispose children to pneumonia, severity of the disease also depends on virulence and load of the pathogen; the load is usually higher when the infection is from a household contact [ 22 ].…”

Background Worldwide, pneumonia is the third leading cause of death in under 5 years children. Ethiopia is ranked 4th out of 15 countries having the highest burdens of the death rate among under-five children due to pneumonia. Regardless of this fact, efforts to identify determinants of pneumonia have been limited yet in Amhara region. This study was aimed to identify predictors of community-acquired childhood pneumonia among 2–59 months old children in the Amhara region, Ethiopia. Methods Facility-based case–control study was conducted in the Amhara region from June 4 to July 15, 2018, among 28 health centers distributed across the region. The total sample size used was 888 (296 cases and 592 controls) children whose age were 2–59 months. At first, multistage sampling technique was employed. Data were collected on a face-to-face interview. Epi data v. 4.6 for data entry and statistical packages for social sciences version 23 for data analysis were used. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to test the associations between the study variables at P-value < 0.05 with 95% CI. As a result, determinants were identified for CAP. Results Among 888 enrolled children (296 cases and 592 controls), who experienced a community-acquired pneumonia had an increased risk of maternal age of 18–24 years (AOR 0.03, at 95%CI (0.01, 0.14), Government employee (AOR 0.19, at 95% CI (0.07,0.54), lack of separate kitchen (AOR 5.37; at 95% CI (1.65, 17.43), history of diarrhea in the past two weeks (AOR 10.2; at 95% CI (5.13, 20.18), previous respiratory tract infections (AOR 8.3, at 95% CI (3.32, 20.55) and history of parental asthma (AOR 4.9, at 95% CI (2.42, 10.18). Conclusion Maternal age of 18–24 years and government employee, lack of separate kitchen, history of diarrhea in the past two weeks; previous respiratory tract infection and history of parental asthma were found statistically significant. Health personnel’s needs to focus on creating awareness to the community on the merit of the separate kitchen for reduction of Community-acquired childhood pneumonia, and focus on prevention and management of childhood diarrheal and acute respiratory tract infections.

Background: Acute Respiratory Tract Infections (ARTIs) are one of the most commonly occurring diseases. Importantly, ARTIs are the most prevalent disease among children, especially for 2 to 6 year old children. ARTIs are often related to genetic factors, lower immune functioning, vitamin and mineral deficiencies, improper feeding and nursing, residential environment and other variables. Aim: This research aimed to provide scientific insight into ways to address and improve health related quality of life in children with ARTIs and their caregivers. Objective: To observe the quality of life with acute respiratory infection and to minimize the acute respiratory infections. Methods: A prospective cross sectional study was conducted on 200 patients, majority of the subjects belongs to the age group of 0.3 to 4years on contrast, least number of subjects were observed between the ranges of 5 to 11 years. Results: ARTIs found insignificant relationship between the social history and disease outcome. 18.5% of the subject parents found to be smokers. On a deeper analysis of smoking pattern and behavior among the parents, we found great impact of such attitude contributing to acute respiratory tract infection. Results of the study reveal that 81% of cases were reported in excellent score. Conclusion: Most of the parents were aware and they did not smoke near child. So this factor not involved effectively in child to get respiratory tract infection. We noticed partial correlation coefficient in case of parental smoking. This suggested us that parental smoking had very less impact on quality of life of patients with ARTIs.
