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 follows babies under 12 months old who are hospitalized with bronchiolitis to understand their treatment and outcomes. It includes tracking RSV testing and a new immunization called nirsevimab, which may help protect against severe illness.
This study looks at what makes bronchiolitis (a common lung infection in babies) more serious in young children. Your child would be observed in the hospital to help doctors understand risk factors and severity, which may lead to better care.
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 tracks young children under 5 who arrive at certain hospital emergency departments in Türkiye with RSV (a virus that causes colds and breathing trouble). By watching their symptoms and care, doctors hope to learn more about how RSV affects children and improve treatment.
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 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.
