Predicting severity of pneumonia in young children
Part of Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at children with pneumonia that started at home (not in the hospital) to find out which signs can predict how severe the illness might be. It could help doctors better understand and treat childhood pneumonia.
