Measuring respiratory syncytial virus infection severity in hospitalized children using the Pediatric Respiratory Syncytial Virus Electronic Severity and Outcome Rating System (PRESORS).

ABSTRACT:

Background

The Pediatric Respiratory Syncytial Virus Electronic Severity and Outcome Rating System (PRESORS) was developed to assess the severity of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in children. Because young children cannot report how they feel or function, ratings are based on observations by the child's caregiver (Observer-Reported Outcome questionnaire [ObsRO]) and clinician (Clinician-Reported Outcome questionnaire [ClinRO]). This prospective study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the PRESORS.

Methods

The PRESORS version 6 ObsRO and ClinRO were evaluated in children with RSV infection requiring hospitalization in centers in the United States, Argentina, and Chile. Assessments were performed from days 1 to 7 by the child's caregiver and clinici
