Can ultrasound and breathing tests predict which infants will get worse?
NCT ID NCT07381790
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 200 infants hospitalized with lower respiratory tract infections (like bronchiolitis) to see if lung ultrasound and special breathing tests can help doctors predict how sick a child will get and who might develop asthma later. Researchers will track symptoms, hospital stays, and readmissions over one year. The goal is to improve treatment decisions and identify high-risk children early.
