Prevalence and predictors of acute respiratory infection among children under-five years in Tigray regional state, northern Ethiopia: a cross sectional study.

The prevalence of ARI displays that Tigray regional state was experiencing a higher ARI rate than the national level. The current study identified the low wealth index of households, children aged (24-60 months), mothers smoking cigarettes, and diarrhea status of the children as crucial predictor factors for ARI. Interventions should be improved to these modifiable major predictor factors that significantly decrease the ARI problem among under-five children.
