Abstract
Numerous deaths in children aged <5 years in the developing world occur at home. Acute respiratory infections (ARIs) are thought to play an important role in these deaths. Risk factors and pathogens linked to fatal episodes remain unclear. A case-control study among low-income children aged <5 years was performed in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to define risk factors and viral pathogens among those who died of ARI at home. A total of 278 families of children aged <5 years (of whom 104 died and 174 were healthy controls) participated in the study. A total of 87.5% of ARI-associated deaths occurred among infants aged <12 months. The estimated mortality rate due to ARI among infants was 5.02 deaths/1000 live births. Dying at home from ARI was associated with living in a crowded home (odds ratio [OR], 3.73; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.41-9.88), having an adolescent mother (OR, 4.89; 95% CI, 1.37-17.38), lacking running water in the home (OR, 4.39; 95% CI, 1.11-17.38), incomplete vaccinations for age (OR, 3.39; 95% CI, 1.20-9.62), admission to a neonatal intensive care unit (OR, 7.17; 95% CI, 2.21-23.27), and no emergency department visit during the ARI episode (OR, 72.32; 95% CI, 4.82-1085.6). The at-home death rate due to respirat...Continue Reading
