    Snippet: In conclusion, our findings further confirm the fact that mild HN is common among hospitalized patients with pneumonia and influences hospital length of stay. Thus, it contributes to increased morbidity rates and probably adds to the costs of care. However, a limitation of the study was the relatively small size of our study group, since only one child with pneumonia had moderate HN.

    Document: In conclusion, our findings further confirm the fact that mild HN is common among hospitalized patients with pneumonia and influences hospital length of stay. Thus, it contributes to increased morbidity rates and probably adds to the costs of care. However, a limitation of the study was the relatively small size of our study group, since only one child with pneumonia had moderate HN. Thus, studies in larger population groups are needed in order to evaluate whether the degree of HN could impact the outcome of hospitalized children with CAP and whether sex is a risk factor for the development of HN in cases of children with pneumonia.
