Summary

Respiratory tract infections are a major cause of hospitalization among pediatric and adult patients, regardless of the cause, whether viral or bacterial. It is critical to stratify each patient's risk to predict the subsequent clinical course. Point-of-care chest ultrasonography in parallel with clinical evaluation has been found to be an effective tool to assess the severity of pathology. A number of scores have been validated on the basis of the ultrasound picture. Currently, a growing interest is directed toward the unambiguous validation of an ultrasound score that can predict the patient's outcome in terms of hospitalization, ICU admission, need for a more pronounced approach in terms of respiratory care both qualitatively and quantitatively.

Conditions

  • Respiratory Tract Infections

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Ultrasound evaluation

The subjects will constitute a cohort whose medical history, clinical, ultrasound and treatment data reported in the appropriate data collection form will be prospectively collected. Enrolled patients will undergo clinical and ultrasonographic evaluation in a manner not unlike routine clinical practice.
