This section describes the data analysis and the results obtained from the study. The
main objective of this study is to develop a summary profile of the patients who came
to Sabah General Hospital because of pneumonia. This summary is graphically
shown in Figure 2 to Figure 7. From the findings, Figure 2 shows that children aged
2-3 years old are mostly infected by pneumonia compared to other age categories.
They are still considered as infants. Based on the sample of the patients, the number
of percentage of parents who smoked is 37.25 percent and parents who did not smoke
are 62.75 percent. This is shown in Figure 3. However, we only consider a small
sample of the population. This sample of 102 patients yields a small portion of results
on the smoking percentage. Based on Figure 4, we can see that most of the patients
were admitted for 3 to 4 days. There was a case where a patient was admitted for 14
days. Probably it involves a serious case of pneumonia. Figure 5 shows that 15.69
percent of the parents were infected by pneumonia since childhood. Therefore, the
children might have inherited the illness from their parents
