  • Title: Acute respiratory infection in childhood: the factors which influence hospital admission.
    Author: Dawson KP, Fergusson DM, Abbott GD, Allan J.
    Journal: N Z Med J; 1983 Jun 08; 96(733):431-3. PubMed ID: 6574366.
    Abstract:
    A study of 100 children admitted to hospital with acute respiratory infection revealed that general practitioners remain the major referral source. Changing financial factors do not appear to have influenced this process. Sixty percent of children had a mild illness, requiring a short period hospital stay, but their referral was on a medical rather than a social basis.
