Overview

Cross-sectional analysis reports a 59.2% hypoxemia incidence in children, indicating age and disease affect survival rates.

Key Points

  • The incidence of hypoxemia among children is 59.2%, with severe cases linked to higher mortality rates and significant clinical implications.
  • Children aged 1–5 years show a higher likelihood of experiencing hypoxemia, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions.
  • Logistic regression identified bronchial asthma as a significant factor in hypoxemia severity, highlighting its relevance in acute care settings.
  • A majority of participants (89.9%) survived, but the variability in outcomes based on SpO₂ levels underscores the importance of monitoring oxygen saturation.
