Introduction: Among the factors that are associated with morbidity and mortality from respiratory diseases in children, one of the main problems is the lack of care seeking by the health system. However, there is little information on the factors associated with it. Objective: To determine the association between sociodemographic characteristics and the lack of seeking care in health facilities in children under 5 years of age with acute respiratory infection symptoms according to the 2019 Perú Demographic and Health Survey (ENDES 2019). Material and methods: Observational, cross-sectional analytical study, based on the secondary analysis of ENDES 2019, which will include caregivers of patients under 5 years of age with acute respiratory infection symptoms who have responded to the survey. Results: 34.35% did not seek care in health facilities. The presence of medications in the home (RP=1.64, IC 95%: 1.37-1.97)and the age of the minor (RP=1.26, IC 95%: 1.17-1.35). On the other hand, be part of the richest quintile (RP=0.26, IC95%: 0.11- 0.55) and the age of the caregiver (RP= 0.99; IC95%: 0.98 - 1.00) had a negative association with the lack of care in health facilities. Conclusions: The lack of seeking care in health facilities is frequent in the Peruvian population. Lower wealth persists as a barrier to seek care in health facilities. Self-medication could explain the availability of medication at home as a risk factor for not going to health facilities.
