    Smartphone recordings of the cough sounds of infants and children presenting to a participating site with signs or symptoms of respiratory disease.

Outcome Measures

Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Diagnosis of pneumonia [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    Positive percent agreement and negative percent agreement to diagnose and rule out pneumonia as compared with (1) World Health Organization (WHO) Primary Endpoint Pneumonia (PEP) plus clinical pneumonia, (2) WHO PEP or Other Infiltrate plus clinical pneumonia, (3) Clinical pneumonia alone

  2. Diagnosis of other childhood respiratory diseases [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    Positive percent agreement and negative percent agreement to diagnose and rule out: lower respiratory tract disease (i.e. respiratory condition occurring below the level of the larynx), viral lower respiratory tract infection, bronchiolitis, asthma/reactive airways disease, upper respiratory tract disease, and croup.
