An international standardization to study the clinical use of lung ultrasound to discriminate viral, bacterial and atypical pneumonia in children with community acquired pneumonia
This clinical approach will comprehensively evaluate clinical, laboratory, LUS, and outcome data from pediatric patients with CAP of various causes. If more centers will use the same approach, this will allow to gather in the short time data from large and diverse cohorts to facilitate the optimization and understanding of how LUS can potentially help understanding the etiology of CAP. The integrated data will be used to support tailored management strategies for pediatric CAP.
