Global and regional burden of hospital admissions for severe acute lower respiratory infections in young children in 2010: a systematic analysis

TL;DR: The data suggest that although 62% of children with severe ALRI are treated in hospitals, 81% of deaths happen outside hospitals, which suggests community-based management of severe disease could be an important complementary strategy to reduce pneumonia mortality and health inequities.
