*Odds ratios (95% CI) and P-value calculated using Logistic Regression. Odds ratios > 1 indicates increased odds of treatment failure.Results of multiple regressions with P-value >0.05 not shown in the table with the exception of age analyzed as a categorical variable.Model 1 (Clinical variables): Adjusted for gender, breastfed, wasting, febrile and treatment with zinc.Model 2 (Clinical + Radiographic pneumonia): Adjusted for gender, breastfed, wasting, febrile, any danger sign and treatment with zinc.Model 3 (All variables): Adjusted for gender, breastfed, wasting, febrile, any danger sign, CRP, nasopharyngeal aspirate positive for RSV, PIV 1, 2 and 3, influenza A and B, hMPV and treatment with zinc.Predictors of Treatment failure of illness episode in children 2–35 months hospitalized with WHO defined Severe Pneumonia
