Predictors of mortality in subjects hospitalized with acute lower respiratory tract infections.

Abstract

Even in settings of high case fatality, predictors of mortality can be identified in under five children suffering from ALRI. In this context, age below 1 year, inability to feed, presence of loose stools and severe malnutrition merit attention for interventional purposes.
