COMPARATIVE PREVALENCE STUDY ON RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS AND SEPSIS IN INFANTS TO CHILDREN AND THEIR COMPLICATIONS IN TERITIARY CARE HOSPITAL
Abstract
We Aim is to observe the prevalence of respiratory tract infections and sepsis in different age groups of children and evaluation of risk factors and their complications based on severity of disease. The objectives of this include such as identifying the Sociodemographic characteristics from infants to children. The data source is taken From case sheets of 125 patients admitted in GGH hospital in paediatric department, for the time period of 6 months by Observational study following the methods of severity assessment from patient demographics, including criteria of Age period 0-5 years, Infants, Toddlers, Children, Respiratory infections. Sepsis, Antenatal history of mother, Medication history of mother, Symptoms experienced by patients, Symptoms relieved by antibiotic treatment and excluded the Healthy patients. Age: Excluded >5 years children. Pregnant women’s, Neonates. Fisher exact test is performed to know the relation between respiratory problems and sepsis.
