Analysis of Influencing Factors of Pediatric Pneumonia based on Regression Analysis Method
Abstract
Background: Pediatric pneumonia is a lung inflammation caused by infection of different pathogens. It is easy to occur in all seasons, and infants under 3 years old are more likely to suffer from pneumonia in winter and spring. Pediatric pneumonia is a global disease and has been reported in most parts of the world. According to the World Health Organization, pediatric pneumonia accounts for 1/4 to 1/3 of all deaths in children under 5 years of age. Therefore, this paper studies the factors for affecting children pneumonia, analyzes the influence of various factors on children pneumonia, and puts forward reasonable suggestions.
Method: The information of pediatric pneumonia cases from February 2018 to December 2019 are extracted from the medical information system of Anyang People's Hospital. After sorting out and excluding the data with incomplete information, 500 cases of pediatric pneumonia are finally regarded as the research object. For the influence degree of causes, regression analysis method and weight analysis are used to explore the relationship between the incidence of pediatric pneumonia and the main air pollutants (PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NO2, CO, O3) and meteorological factors (average relative humidity, rainfall, sunshine duration, average minimum temperature).
Results: The influencing factors of pediatric pneumonia are the result of the interaction of meteorological factors and environmental pollutants. Among them, the incidence of pediatric pneumonia is positively correlated with PM2.5, SO2, NO2 and CO in the environmental pollutants, and negatively correlated with O3. It is negatively correlated with rainfall, average relative humidity and average minimum temperature in meteorological factors. According to the weight analysis, the average minimum temperature has the greatest influence on the incidence of pediatric pneumonia, and CO has the least influence on it.
Conclusion: Pediatric pneumonia is affected by external factors and is closely to children's living environment. We should pay more attention to the air pollutants and meteorological factors that affect children's pneumonia, and the relevant departments and institutions should also pay close attention to them.
