Abstract:
Objective:To determine antibiotic treatment failure rate and predictors of treatment failure in children 2 to-59 months with Pediatric Community Acquired Pneumonia-C (PCAP-C) and PCAP-D admitted at Makati Medical Center.
Methods:This prospective cohort study examined 100 children, 2-to-59 months with clinically diagnosed PCAP-C and PCAP-D. Baseline assessment was done on day 1 of hospital stay and follow-up assessments were done on days 3 and 7 or upon discharge for the outcomes of interest.
Results:One hundred children were included in the study and 98% had PCAP-C. This study identified a treatment failure rate of 17% among children with PCAP-C. There was no mortality. Malnutrition and low oxygen saturation on admission were significant predictors of treatment failure.
Conclusion:Antibiotic treatment failure rate was 17%. Malnutrition and hypoxia were significant predictors of treatment failure in children with PCAPC.
