Development and Validation of a New Clinical Scale for Infants with Acute Respiratory Infection: The ReSVinet Scale

Abstract

The ReSVinet scale may be useful and reliable in the evaluation of infants with ARI, particularly acute bronchiolitis, even with data obtained from medical records and when employed by parents. Although further studies are necessary, ReSVinet scale already complies with more score validation criteria than the vast majority of the alternatives currently available and used in the clinical practice.
