Abstract
You are the resident on call for the acute pediatric ward in a district hospital in a resource-limited setting. A 9-month-old male infant presents with a 3-day history of coryza and cough followed by difficulty in breathing. The infant is admitted to the acute ward for observation but does not need supplementary oxygen or fluid support. During the ward-round it was felt that his condition at presentation did not warrant admission. You are concerned that by being admitted unnecessarily this infant was put at an unnecessary risk of nosocomial infection. Furthermore, the care is paid for by the family and bed spaces are lacking. You wonder if there is a valid and reliable respiratory distress severity score that may help to accurately assess respiratory distress as a useful adjunct for clinical decision making, to help reduce unnecessary admissions in children with bronchiolitis.
