 We are very proud to announce that our board member, Dr. Federico Martinón Torres and his team, designed a new clinical scale for infants with acute respiratory infection, the ReSVinet scale. Our scale is based on seven parameters (feeding intolerance, medical intervention, respiratory difficulty, respiratory frequency, apnoea, general condition, fever) that were assigned different values (from 0 to 3) for a total of 20 points. 170 children under two years of age with ARI were assessed independently by three pediatricians using this scale.

From 2010-2014 we conducted a prospective observational study during 4 consecutive RSV seasons at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, Columbus, Ohio, USA. Previously healthy children <2 years of age with a first episode of RSV infection were enrolled either at the outpatient clinics (‘outpatients’) or within 24h [17-39h] (median [IQR]) of admission in the pediatric ward or the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) (‘inpatients’). Asymptomatic healthy controls were enrolled during routine primary care visits or elective surgery not involving the respiratory tract. For study criteria see Supplementary methods E1. In addition to the need for hospitalization, RSV disease severity was assessed using a clinical disease severity score (CDSS), and by the need for supplemental oxygen, PICU admission and length of stay.(16) |
