Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Reduction of Kristjansson Respiratory Score
Verified by changes in the Kristjansson Respiratory Score, which is a practical and simple score, that assesses the main signs and symptoms of bronchiolitis, having a good validity and inter-observer reliability.It assigns a value between 0 and 2 to each of the five variables: respiratory rate, chest recession, breath sound, skin colour and general condition. A higher Kristjansson respiratory score indicate a worse respiratory condition.
