Abstract

In Indonesia, the number of hospitalizations in pediatric patients reaches 2.3% of the total population. The high rate of hospitalization in children is because the immune system of children is still not perfect. There is still incomplete data on pediatric patients treated at Cut Nyak Dhien Hospital, West Aceh. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics of pediatric patients treated in the pediatric care unit of Cut Nyak Dhien Hospital, West Aceh in 2024. The research method used descriptive cros-sectional. Data was taken from the SIMRS application/Hospital Management Information System for children aged 0 to <18 years, from January to December 2024. The results of the study obtained 1,952 subjects who were admitted to the pediatric care unit. The majority of the subjects were female (55.8%) and aged over 3 years (63.5%) with the most common cause of illness due to viral infections (31.3%).
