Abstract
OREJON DE LUNA, G and CUESTAS MONTANES, E. Can we predict which children with pneumonia will have a severe prognosis?. Rev Pediatr Aten Primaria [online]. 2017, vol.19, n.75, pp.279-281. ISSN 1139-7632.
This paper presents the critical appraisal of a prospective observational study for the implementation of a clinical prediction guide.
Authors' conclusions:
three risk models are presented that accurately estimate the risk for severe pneumonia in children, which will improve treatment and prognosis in this population.
Reviewers' commentary:
the study proposes a promissory clinical tool to predict pneumonia's outcomes that could be validated internationally.
