TL;DR: The overlap between the ranges of the estimates implies that a plausible incidence estimate of clinical pneumonia for developing countries is 0.29 e/cy, which equates to an annual incidence of 150.7 million new cases, 11-20 million of which are severe enough to require hospital admission.

TL;DR: For countries without adequate vital registration, it is possible to estimate the proportional distribution of child deaths by cause by exploiting systematic associations between this distribution and the characteristics of the populations in which it has been studied, controlling for design features of the studies themselves.

TL;DR: This article conducted a systematic review to investigate the geographical dispersion of and time trends in publication for policy-relevant information about children's health and to assess associations between the availability of reliable data and poverty.

TL;DR: This paper aims to provide methodological guidelines for the design, conduct, and reporting of epidemiological studies of ALRI in under-5s in developing countries, and discusses determinants of study quality related to both study design and statistical analysis and also issues requiring further research.

TL;DR: A simple model was introduced to distribute the global estimate of new ALRI episodes by WHO regions according to risk factor prevalence in each country, and ranked the ALRI incidence estimates ranked in order from highest to lowest.
