“…10 Fever and respiratory symptoms are the basis for the diagnosis of ALRI which were then further supported by evidence of pulmonary parenchymal involvement on physical examination or the findings of infiltrates on chest radiography. 10,12,15 In terms of comorbid conditions that are CHD, TBC, immunosuppression, malignancies, and asthma, showed significant differences in both period. Immunosuppressed conditions (62.7%), CHD (58.4%), and then TBC (56.6%) were the 3 most common comorbidities found in patients with ALRI before the COVID-19 pandemic.…”

This study aims to analyze differences of the prevalence and characteristics of acute lower respiratory infection (ALRI) in children at tertiary hospital before and during COVID-19 pandemic. This was an observational analytic study with cross-sectional design involving pediatric patients based on the time of the study which was in 1 year-prepandemic (A) and 1 year-pandemic period (B). For period A inpatient data were retrieved from medical records and period B used pediatric ALRI registry. The ALRI characteristics were analyzed with significance if P < .05. Prevalence in periods A and B were 5.8% (534/9252) and 4.9% (409/8283), respectively. The characteristics of ALRI for clinical, comorbidities, laboratory findings (NLR, TLC), and chest radiograph showed significant differences ( P < .05). ALRI as manifestation of confirmed COVID-19 were identified in 16 (4.9%) cases. Prevalence of ALRI in children during COVID-19 pandemic is lower compared to before. There are differences in the characteristics of ALRI in pediatrics.

“…Pneumonia in children constitutes a diagnostic problem both for the clinician and post-mortem specialists (forensic physicians and pathomorphologists). Clinical signs in children may be very sparse (limited only to an elevated temperature) or not present at all [2]. Children who died suddenly due to pneumonia undiagnosed in their lifetime, on histopathological evaluation are most often diagnosed as deceased due to interstitial pneumonia [3].…”

Pneumonia is one of the most common causes of children’s hospitalization and death. The aim of the study was a medico-legal analysis of children who died suddenly due to pneumonia undiagnosed in their lifetime. The research was of a retrospective character and consisted in an analysis of prosecution files. The study included 47 children who died between 2011-2018 in whom pneumonia after post-mortem examination was indicated as the cause of death, as well as children in whom the cause of death, despite additional post-mortem examinations, including histopathological tests, was not established. In some cases, under additional post-mortem examinations, additional targeted immunohistochemical staining of selected lung sections was performed to establish the diagnosis. In children with prodromal symptoms, histopathological examination showed significantly more frequent atelectasis than in children without prodromal symptoms. Pneumonia is a significant clinical problem. Especially in young children, it may proceed with- out any symptoms that would cause such a diagnosis to be made. A properly conducted post-mortem diagnosis supplemented by immunohistochemical examinations allows to reduce the number of unexplained deaths in children.

“…To our best knowledge, no prior studies have evaluated the association between disease severity and 30-day all-cause readmission in pediatric pneumonia patients. Additionally, despite many policies, hospital readmission rates did not improve from 2010–2016 [ 14 ], yet infection diagnostics, vaccine promotion, and medical care have advanced in recent years [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine pneumonia readmission rates by severity and evaluate the association between pneumonia severity and 30-day all-cause readmission in pediatric pneumonia hospitalizations using the 2018 Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD).…”

Pneumonia is the leading cause of hospitalization in pediatric patients. Disease severity greatly influences pneumonia progression and adverse health outcomes such as hospital readmission. Hospital readmissions have become a measure of healthcare quality to reduce excess expenditures. The aim of this study was to examine 30-day all-cause readmission rates and evaluate the association between pneumonia severity and readmission among pediatric pneumonia hospitalizations. Using 2018 Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD), we conducted a cross-sectional study of pediatric hospitalizations for pneumonia. Pneumonia severity was defined by the presence of respiratory failure, sepsis, mechanical ventilation, dependence on long-term supplemental oxygen, and/or respiratory intubation. Outcomes of interest were 30-day all-cause readmission, length of stay, and cost. The rate of 30-day readmission for the total sample was 5.9%, 4.7% for non-severe pneumonia, and 8.7% for severe pneumonia (p < 0.01). Among those who were readmitted, hospitalizations for severe pneumonia had a longer length of stay (6.5 vs. 5.4 days, p < 0.01) and higher daily cost (USD 3246 vs. USD 2679, p < 0.01) than admissions for non-severe pneumonia. Factors associated with 30-day readmission were pneumonia severity, immunosuppressive conditions, length of stay, and hospital case volume. To reduce potentially preventable readmissions, clinical interventions to improve the disease course and hospital system interventions are necessary.
