| 12 to 59 months | 1.0 |
| 6 to 11 months | 0.73 (0.39, 1.35) |
| 2 to 5 months | 1.06 (0.53, 2.12) |
| Respiratory rate (indicator) | |
| Fast | 1.0 |
| Very fast | 1.00 (0.48, 2.08) |
| Oxygen saturation (grouped linear) | |

CI: confidence interval; MUAC: mid-upper arm circumference; PCV13: 13 valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. ‘Fast’ respiratory rate was defined as >50 breaths per minute for infants aged 2–11 months and >40 breath per minute for 12-59months, and ‘very fast’ was >70 breaths per minute for infants aged 2–11 months and >60 breath per minute for 12-59months.
