Detailed Description

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

This descriptive cross-sectional study will be conducted over six months in the pediatrics emergency department of Assiut University Hospital, Egypt. It enrolls children aged 1 month to 18 years presenting with acute respiratory distress (ARD). The study collects detailed demographic, clinical, environmental, nutritional, and developmental data using a structured, pre-tested case record form. It includes comprehensive patient history, physical examination, laboratory and radiological investigations to identify underlying causes, clinical features, and risk factors for ARD. Data will be analyzed statistically using SPSS software to characterize the epidemiology and clinical spectrum, inclusion of factors like exposure to passive smoking, socioeconomic status, and detailed symptomatology, aiming to contribute to better diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies in this resource-limited setting
