*Mixed–effects logistic regression models quantified the influence of IMCI in–service training on counting respiratory rates for 60 s (or not) across each age group adjusted for variables listed in Table 3 and data clustering. Results for the children aged 48–59 months should be interpreted with caution due to few observations and positive outcomes.
