Clinical Predictors of Severity in Pediatric Community-Acquired Pneumonia at Assiut University Children's Hospital

NCT07279675 · Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 67

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study aims to identify the clinical factors that predict the severity of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in pediatric patients. Children admitted to Assiut University Children's Hospital with a diagnosis of CAP will be evaluated through clinical examination, vital signs, laboratory investigations, and radiological findings. The study focuses on determining which clinical features are associated with more severe disease, higher need for oxygen therapy, intensive care admission, or complications. Understanding these predictors may help clinicians recognize severe cases earlier and improve patient management and outcomes.

Conditions

  • Community-Acquired Pneumonia
  • Pediatric Pneumonia
  • Lower Respiratory Tract Infection

Interventions

Assessment of Pneumonia Severity

Participants undergo structured evaluation for pneumonia severity, including: Clinical predictors (respiratory rate, chest indrawing, hypoxemia, feeding difficulty, mental status, comorbidities) Laboratory markers (complete blood count, RDW, CRP, HCO₃-) Radiological assessment (chest X-ray, CT if indicated) Calculation of RISC score
