Risk factors for complications of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia in hospitalized children in China: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) is a common respiratory disease in children. Some patients may develop long-term respiratory issues such as chronic cough and wheezing due to complications. These complications increase the health burden for children with MPP, highlighting the need to understand their risk factors in order to improve disease prognosis. This study aims to assess the risk factors for complications in hospitalized children with MPP in China.

Methods

A comprehensive review of Chinese and English databases was conducted up to April 2024 to retrieve studies focusing on complications in hospitalized children with MPP. Pooled effect sizes were calculated using random-effects or fixed-effects models. Statistical analyses were performed using R software
