Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study investigated the patterns of morbidity and mortality among children under 5 years of age in the population served by Kalkaal Hospital. The specific objectives were to:

Identify the most common diagnoses and causes of illness and death in the under-5 population presenting to Kalkaal Hospital.

Analyze demographic factors (e.g. age, sex) associated with certain disease profiles and health outcomes.

Evaluate treatment practices, health service utilization, and mortality rates for the key pediatric health issues identified.

Provide a comprehensive epidemiological assessment of the burden of childhood illness and mortality in this local community.
