Abstract

The objective of the study is to evaluate the value of the Moodified Tal Score in assessing the severity of acute bronchiolitis in pediatric patients at Thai Nguyen National Hospital. The study subjects included 382 pediatric patients diagnosed with acute bronchiolitis and hospitalized for treatment by using a cross - sectional descriptive study method. The results showed that pediatric patients under 6 months old accounted for 35.1%, children over 6 months old accounted for 64.9%, the male/female ratio was 1.53/1. Tal score ≥ 9.5 is meaningful in classifying the severity of acute bronchiolitis according to World Health Organization standards. At the cutoff point, the modified tal score had a sensitivity of 65.9% and specificity of 99.7%, the area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve was 0.888 with OR = 655.714; (95% CI = 0.829 - 0.948); p < 0.01. The Cronbach's Alpha index of 0.859 shows that the Modified Tal Score is considered a perfect scale and has high value in assessing the severity of acute bronchiolitis.
