A respiratory severity score (RSS) describing acute respiratory illness (ARI) severity would be useful for research and clinical purposes. A total of 630 term infants presenting with ARI had their RSS measured. RSS was higher in those with lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) compared with those with upper respiratory infection (URI; LRTI 6.5 [4-8.5]; URI 1 [0-2], <0.001) and in hospitalized infants compared with outpatients (hospitalized 6.5 [4-9]; outpatient 1 [0-3], <0.001). RSS is higher in LRTI compared with URI and in hospitalized compared with nonhospitalized infants.
一种描述急性呼吸道疾病(ARI)严重程度的呼吸严重程度评分(RSS)对于研究和临床目的将是有用的。共有630名患有ARI的足月儿接受了RSS测量。与上呼吸道感染(URI)患儿相比,下呼吸道感染(LRTI)患儿的RSS更高(LRTI为6.5[4 - 8.5];URI为1[0 - 2],P<0.001);与门诊患儿相比,住院患儿的RSS更高(住院患儿为6.5[4 - 9];门诊患儿为1[0 - 3],P<0.001)。与URI患儿相比,LRTI患儿的RSS更高;与非住院患儿相比,住院患儿的RSS更高。
