Abstract

The study evaluates the value of the PRESS scale in classifying acute respiratory infections in children from 2 months to 5 years old. The study subjects included 486 acute respiratory infection patients, using a cross-sectional descriptive study method at Thai Nguyen central hospital. The results show that the rate of severe pneumonia was 24.9%, the rate of pneumonia was 32.2%. Mainly lower respiratory infections with 87.5% of patients. There were 61.5% patients aged 12 months - 5 years, the male/female ratio was 1.37/1. PRESS point ≥2 has a pneumonia rate of 97.9%. The PRESS point ≥2 has classification value for pneumonia with sensitivity of 86.8% and specificity of 97.5%. The area under the ROC curve was 0.929 with p<0.01. PRESS point ≥4 has classification value for severe pneumonia with sensitivity of 81.3% and specificity of 99.5%. The area under the ROC curve was 0.875 with p<0.01. The PRESS scale is valid for classifying acute respiratory infections in children from 2 months to 5 years old.
