“…40 The erythrocyte sedimentation rate is higher in children who have pneumonia with alveolar consolidation compared with those with interstitial pneumonia. 41,42 C-reactive protein has been shown to be significantly higher in patients with bacterial pneumonia, compared with those with non-bacterial pneumonia. 41 Circulating levels of calcitonin precursors are known to increase several thousand-fold with microbial infections and various forms of severe systemic inflammation.…”

Acute respiratory infections are the most important single cause of global burden of disease in young children globally and a major cause of child mortality. A recent review of studies reporting the incidence of acute lower respiratory infections (ALRI) in young children in the developing world was carried out by the WHO Child Health Epidemiology Reference Group in order to inform global burden of disease estimates. The review highlighted the low number of community-based longitudinal studies of ALRI incidence in young children which met minimum quality criteria. It underscored the need to give attention to issues of study design and the reporting of a basic minimum dataset which describes circumstances under which the studies were being conducted and the key design features of the study which may influence the ALRI estimate. This paper aims to provide methodological guidelines for the design, conduct, and reporting of epidemiological studies of ALRI in under-5s in developing countries. It discusses determinants of study quality related to both study design and statistical analysis and also issues requiring further research. It is hoped that these guidelines will stimulate further work in this field and encourage the publication of reports which contain sufficient data to permit a meaningful meta-analysis of the data, thus forming the basis of more reliable future estimates of global burden of ALRI.

“…This might be because clinical pneumonia is in fact an early stage of alveolar CAP or non-alveolar CAP, when it is too early in the progression of the disease to be able to detect infiltration or effusion on a radiograph. Timing of laboratory tests in the progression of pneumonia can greatly influence the diagnostic results as was previously shown [19]. In an animal study by Stark et al (2006) it was shown that when mice were coinfected with RSV and pneumococcus, it took several days for an immune response to develop [17].…”

“…Case definitions for pneumonia can vary by geographic region and even between various hospitals as a result of different institutions using different guidelines [1,6,21]. Laboratory tests measuring the systemic inflammatory response associated with pneumonia are used routinely in clinical practice but their sensitivity and specificity are relatively low [18,19].…”

Trial number 3075 (Soroka Hospital, Israel) What is Known: • Community-acquired pneumonia in children is diagnosed based on clinical and radiological definitions. • Radiological criteria were standardized by WHO-SICR and have been utilized in vaccine studies. What is New: • Correlation between the WHO-SICR radiological definitions and clinical and laboratory parameters has not been studied. • Using the WHO-SICR radiological definitions for alveolar community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and non-alveolar CAP and the study definition for clinical CAP, it was found that the groups are distinct, differing clinically and in laboratory parameters.

“…Hasil tersebut sesuai dengan dua penelitian sebelumnya yang melaporkan bahwa kadar leukosit (>15x10 9 /L) lebih tinggi pada pneumonia bakteri (74%) dibanding pneumonia virus (50%), 14 dan 72% pasien yang dicurigai pneumonia bakteri secara klinis dan foto dada, serta tidak diobati, mengalami peningkatan leukosit (15.000/mm 3 ) pada hari sakit kedua. 15 Sebaliknya dengan tiga penelitian lain sebelumnya, 5,12,16 mungkin karena perbedaan cara menentukan penyebab pneumonia. Satu peneliti menentukan penyebab pneumonia seperti yang telah diterangkan (WHO), 12 peneliti lainnya menentukan penyebab pneumonia berdasarkan hasil yang diperoleh dari bronkoskopi, 16 sedangkan peneliti terakhir menentukan penyebab pneumonia berdasarkan foto dada.…”

“…Oleh karena itu diperlukan parameter lain yang dapat digunakan. Beberapa penelitian melaporkan bahwa pneumonia oleh karena bakteri umumnya memberi gambaran klinis yang lebih toksik, 6,9 suhu lebih tinggi, 6,11 adanya gambaran konsolidasi atau efusi pleura pada foto dada, 12,13 leukositosis dengan dominasi polimorfonuklear, 9,14,15 dan kadar C-reactive protein (CRP) yang lebih tinggi. 9,14 Hasil penelitian tersebut tidak konsisten dengan hasil penelitian lainnya.…”

This observational study using cross sectional design. Sampling method using purposive sampling and got 35 participants who were CKD patients undergoing hemodialysis in Prof. Dr. Margono Soekarjo Hospital, Purwokerto. The data of participant characteristic, length of time since the initiation of hemodialysis therapy, knowledge, attitude, and social support were collected by using questionnares. Patient's compliance to fluid and natrium intake was collected by calculating fluid and natrium intake level. Data were analyzed using Fisher test. Most participants did not comply with fluid restriction, but complied with natrium restriction. All factors that have been analized had no correlation to fluid and natrium intake compliance (p > 0,05), except gender and social support factor that had correlation to fluid intake compliance (p < 0,05). Male patients needed an intensive assistance so that fluid intake compliance increased. Moreover, social support from family and others needed to achieve this goal. ABSTRAK Penelitian observasional ini menggunakan desain cross sectional. Metode pengambilan sampel menggunakan purposive sampling dan didapatkan 35 peserta penderita CKD yang menjalani hemodialisis di Rumah Sakit Prof. Dr. Margono Soekarjo, Purwokerto. Data karakteristik peserta, lamanya waktu sejak dimulainya terapi hemodialisis, pengetahuan, sikap, dan dukungan sosial dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan kuesioner. Ketaatan pasien terhadap asupan cairan dan natrium dikumpulkan dengan menghitung tingkat asupan cairan dan natrium. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan uji Fisher. Sebagian besar peserta tidak mematuhi pembatasan cairan, namun sesuai dengan batasan natrium. Semua faktor yang telah dianalisis tidak memiliki korelasi dengan kepatuhan asupan cairan dan natrium (p> 0,05), kecuali faktor pendukung gender dan sosial yang memiliki korelasi terhadap kepatuhan asupan cairan (p <0,05). Pasien laki-laki membutuhkan bantuan intensif agar kepatuhan asupan cairan meningkat. Apalagi dukungan sosial dari keluarga dan orang lain perlu untuk mencapai tujuan ini. Kata kunci: Kepatuhan cairan dan natrium, jenis kelamin, hemodialisis, dukungan sosial
