Treatment Outcomes and Associated Factors among Children Hospitalized with Acute Bacterial Meningitis in Eastern Ethiopia: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Early treatment, linkage of primary-health facilities to tertiary health-care centers, and availability of diagnostics should be promoted to improve patient outcomes.
