- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoRevisión bibliográfica: neumonía adquirida en la comunidad en niños menores de cinco años(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2024) Campoverde Avila, Luis Andres; Herrera Jaramillo, María Isabel; 0105956577Respiratory diseases continue to be one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide, with pneumonia being the second leading cause of death in children under five years of age. Certain risk factors have been identified among them, which may lead to the child suffering from this disease, including inadequate breastfeeding during the first six months, overcrowding, tobacco smoke, and incomplete immunization. Diagnosis is primarily based on clinical, paraclinical, and imaging findings. Objective: To conduct a narrative literature review on the risk factors associated with community-acquired pneumonia in children under five. Methodology: A narrative literature review was carried out, searching scientific databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect, UpToDate, and SciELO, using the following keywords: "Community-Acquired Pneumonia," "Pediatrics," "Risk Factors," and "Diagnostic Methods." Conclusions: This disease primarily affects children with particularly significant respiratory symptoms. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the risk factors to implement measures to reduce the number of cases.
