| dc.description.abstract | Abstract: Introduction: Various scoring system has been proposed to assess the severity of bronchiolitis, most common scores being Wang Bronchiolitis Severity Score (WBSS) and Kristjansson Respiratory Score (KRS). None of these scoring systems are standardised in assessing severity. The present study was aimed to compare WBSS and KRS scores in assessing severity of bronchiolitis. Methods: Present study is a prospective observational study. Children aged less than two years, diagnosed as bronchiolitis, were included. WBSS and KRS were calculated at admission. These scores were co related with severity of bronchiolitis and duration of hospital stay. Results: A total of 69 participants were included in the study. The two scores significantly corelates with the severity of bronchiolitis (P - 0.0001), with accuracy 89.86% and 85.51% respectively for KRS and WBSS respectively. Both scores have good sensitivity {KRS (CI= 96.6 – 100%) and WANG score (96.6- 100%)}. The two scores were significantly correlated with the duration of hospital stay, with a correlation coefficient of r2 of 0.6818 (P < 0.001) for WBSS and r2 of 0.6622 (p < 0.001) for KRS. Conclusion: Both WBSS and KRS scores were accurate in predicting the severity of bronchiolitis at admission and also duration of hospital stay. | |
