Predictors of Time till Recovery of illness episode in children 2–35 months hospitalized with WHO defined Severe Pneumonia.

*Hazard ratios (95% CI) and P-value calculated using Cox Regression with exact p option. Hazard ratios <1 for time till recovery indicates slower resolution of illness. Results of multiple regressions with P-value > 0.05 not shown in the table. Model 1 (Clinical variables): Adjusted for gender, breastfed, febrile and treatment with zinc. Model 2 (Clinical + Radiographic pneumonia): Adjusted for gender, breastfed, febrile and treatment with zinc. Model 3 (All variables): Adjusted for gender, breastfed, febrile, CRP, nasopharyngeal aspirate positive for RSV, influenza A and B, PIV 2 and 3 and hMPV and treatment with zinc.
