Introduction to the Site-specific Etiologic Results from the Pneumonia Etiology Research for Child Health (PERCH) Study

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The Pneumonia Etiology Research for Child Health (PERCH) study evaluated the etiology of severe and very severe pneumonia in children hospitalized in 7 African and Asian countries. Here, we summarize the highlights of in-depth site-specific etiology analyses published separately in this issue, including how etiology varies by age, mortality status, malnutrition, severity, HIV status, and more. These site-specific results impart important lessons that can inform disease control policy implications.
