Implication

Observational analysis identified pneumonia pathogens and mortality risk factors in children with congenital heart diseases, suggesting need for better management.

Key Points

Mortality rate was reported at 24.24% among children with pneumonia and congenital heart diseases, indicating significant risk.
Respiratory Syncytial Virus was found in 31.1% of pneumonia cases, making viral infections a critical concern.
Observational analysis across hospitalized children revealed various pathogens and linked mechanical ventilation to increased mortality.
Combination of traditional culture techniques with multiplex PCR enhances identification of pneumonia-causing pathogens in this population.
