| Abstract: | Background Acute lower respiratory infections (ALRI) are a major cause of hospitalisation in young children. Many factors can lead to
increased risk of ALRI in children and predispose a child to hospitalisation, but population attributable fractions for different
risk factors and how these fractions differ between Indigenous and non-Indigenous children is unknown. This study investigates
population attributable fractions of known infant and maternal risk factors for ALRI to inform prevention strategies that
target high-risk groups or particular risk factors. |
