Abstract

Introduction: Pneumonia is known as a primary contributor to hospital admissions among toddlers globally. Numerous factors influence the duration of hospitalization in toddlers with pneumonia, one of them is nutritional status. This study aims to ascertain the correlation between nutritional status and the duration of hospitalization in pediatric pneumonia patients. Methods: This was an analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design. The study samples were children aged 2-59 months with pneumonia who were hospitalized in the period January 2022-January 2024 selected through the consecutive method. After calculating using the Slovin formula, a minimum sample size of 67 people was required. Data were analyzed through univariate analysis and bivariate analysis through chi-square through SPSS software version 27. Results: Of the 77 patients, the majority were aged 12-59 months (61%), male (55.8%), well-nourished (62.3%), and length of stay ≤5 days (55.8%). The bivariate analysis found no relationship between nutritional status and the length of stay of pneumonia patients under five with a p-value = 0.422 (p-value > 0.05). Conclusion: There is no relationship between nutritional status and the length of stay of pneumonia patients under five.

Abstract

Background. Pneumonia is known as a forgotten pandemic, leading to high morbidity and mortality, especially among children under five years, with nutritional status identified as a risk factor for the disease's incidence. This study aimed to determine the relationship between nutritional status and pneumonia severity in children under five. Methods. An analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 122 children aged 2-59 months diagnosed with pneumonia based on medical record data from Prof. Dr. Chairuddin Panusunan Lubis Medan Hospital from February 2022 - January 2024. The data were obtained with consecutive sampling. Data were analyzed through univariate and bivariate analyses using the chi-square test with SPSS software version 27. Results. Of 122 patients, the majority of patients were aged 12-59 months (64.8%), male (56.6%), had good nutritional status (63.1%), had a high level of life outcomes (98.4%), and had pneumonia (71.4%). Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between nutritional status and pneumonia severity (p < 0,001); PR = 4,3023; CI = 3,449 – 20,338). But there was no relationship between age (p = 0,081; PR = 1,740; CI = 0,989 – 4,963) and gender (p = 1,000; PR = 1,02; CI = 0,468 – 2,283) with severity of pneumonia. Conclusion. There is a significant relationship between nutritional status and severity of pneumonia in children under five. Keywords: Pneumonia, severity, nutritional status, severe pneumonia, children
