Abstract
OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the respiratory rate as an indicator of hypoxia in infants < 2 months of age.
SETTING:
Pediatric emergency unit of an urban teaching hospital.
SUBJECTS:
200 infants < 2 months, with symptom(s) of any acute illness.
METHODS:
Respiratory rate (by observation method), and oxygen saturation (SaO(2)) by means of a
pulse oximeter were recorded at admission. Infants were categorised by presence or
absence of hypoxia (SaO(2) </= 90%).
RESULTS:
The respiratory rate was >/= 50/min in 120 (60%), >/= 60/min in 101 (50. 5%), and >/=
70/min in 58 (29%) infants. Hypoxia (SaO(2) </= 90%) was seen in 77 (38.5%) infants.
Respiratory rate and SaO(2) showed a significant negative correlation (r = -0.39).
Respiratory rate >/= 60/min predicted hypoxia with 80% sensitivity and 68% specificity.
CONCLUSION:
These results indicates that a respiratory rate > 60/min is a good predictor of hypoxia in
infants under 2 months of age brought to the emergency service of an urban hospital for
any symptom(s) of acute illness.

2.5 Abstract

young children: a multicentre randomised controlled trial.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE:
To assess the efficacy of three days versus five days of treatment with oral amoxicillin for
curing non-severe pneumonia in children.
DESIGN:
Randomised, double blind, placebo controlled multicentre trial.
SETTING:
Outpatient departments of seven referral hospitals in India.
PARTICIPANTS:
2188 children aged 2-59 months, 1095 given three days of treatment and 1093
given five days.
INTERVENTION:
Oral amoxicillin 31-54 mg/kg/day in three divided doses.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:
Treatment failure: defined as development of chest indrawing, convulsions, drowsiness,
or inability to drink at any time; respiratory rate above age specific cut points on day 3 or
later; or oxygen saturation by pulse oximetry < 90% on day 3.
RESULTS:
The clinical cure rates with three days and five days of treatment were 89.5% and 89.9%,
respectively (absolute difference 0.4 (95% confidence interval--2.1 to 3.0)). Adherence to
treatment regimen was 94% and 85% for three day and five day treatments, respectively.
Loss to follow up was 5.4% by day 5. There were no deaths, 41 hospitalisations, and 36
minor adverse reactions. There were 225 (10.3%) clinical failures and 106 (5.3%) relapses,
and rates were similar in both treatments. At enrollment, 513 (23.4%) children tested
positive for respiratory syncytial virus, and Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus
influenzae were isolated from the nasopharynx in 878 (40.4%) and 496 (22.8%) children,
respectively. Clinical failure was associated with isolation of respiratory syncytial virus
(adjusted odds ratio 1.95 (95% confidence interval 1.0 to 3.8)), excess respiratory rate of
> 10 breaths/minute (2.89 (1.83 to 4.55)), and non-adherence with treatment at day 5
(11.57 (7.4 to 18.0)).
CONCLUSIONS:
Treatment with oral amoxicillin for three days was as effective as for five days in children
with non-severe pneumonia.
