The population of this study was every pneumonia pediatric patients who were hospitalized in one hospital in Central Java in the inpatient ward or PICU. The sampling technique used is Nonprobability sampling technique with purposive sampling method. Secondary data were obtained from medical records. Chi-square tests and logistic regression were used to process the data.Results: The use of antibiotics according to the Gyssens flow evaluation obtained the results of irrational antibiotics most used in category IV A as many as 70 patients (72.2%), in category IV C as much as (3.1%), and rational antibiotics in category 0 as many as 24 patients (24.7%). The mortality outcome for pneumonia pediatric patients was 6 patients (6.2%) and 91 patients (93.8%) went home.
