Abstract
Introduction - The prevalence of corticosteroid use in primary care is an important topic in contemporary medicine due to their wide impact in the treatment of many health conditions. In many cases, corticosteroids are used to treat inflammation, autoimmune diseases, allergies and acute pollution, providing an effective solution for many patients.
Purpose - The purpose of this study is to examine the prevalence of the use of corticosteroids in the treatment of diseases in the pediatric ward at the KKMF in Peja. This analysis will help improve pediatric care and identify ways to optimize the use and management of corticosteroids in this patient group in this city.

Initially, we will select a representative sample of 220 children from pediatrics at the Peja HCMC. After that, we will collect detailed data for each patient, including information on diagnoses, reasons for using corticosteroids, doses used and treatment of side effects. The data will be analyzed to assess the current practice of using these medicines in pediatric care and to identify ways to improve their management and use in Peja hospital, providing recommendations for a more consistent and efficient treatment for pediatric patients. .
Results - The results showing an effective and consistent use of corticosteroids in pediatric care at the Peja Medical Center are an important indicator of the quality of medical practice in this health institution.
