Study of COVID-19 effects on emergency visits for infant lung infections
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how the COVID-19 era changed emergency department visits for young children with breathing problems, such as bronchiolitis or first-time viral wheeze. It may help doctors understand trends in these illnesses and plan better care during outbreaks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be under 2 years old
- Come to a participating emergency department for a new breathing illness
- Likely symptoms include cough, fast breathing, and/or chest pulling in (chest recession)
- Doctors hear wheeze or crackles in the chest during the visit
- Your child should not have a history of wheezing episodes that improve with an inhaler (bronchodilator)

This study looks at young children (ages 1-5) who have had severe wheezing episodes that needed hospital care. It aims to find biomarkers (clues in the body) that could help predict which children might develop asthma later.
This study looks at children hospitalized with bronchiolitis (a lung infection that causes coughing and breathing trouble). It aims to understand what makes some children more likely to get very sick. By joining, researchers can learn more about risk factors and how to help children recover better.
This study looks at how RSV (a common virus that can affect breathing) leads to illness in young children who come to the doctor with ear infections and/or breathing symptoms. It may help doctors better understand the “burden” RSV causes in both home/outpatient and hospital settings.
This study looks at the airways of children aged 1 month to 6 years who had a serious lung infection with adenovirus or rhinovirus. Researchers want to understand how the infection affects the airways and why some children develop lasting breathing problems.
This study looks at children under 5 who have RSV (a common respiratory virus) and visit a pediatric emergency department in Türkiye. It aims to learn more about how RSV affects young children so doctors can better care for them.
This study follows children and teens who are being checked for asthma for the first time. It aims to learn more about the early symptoms of asthma to improve diagnosis and treatment.
