Description
Leopoldo Silocchi Pergo and colleagues test a breath score for child asthma attacks in emergency care in a 2026 study. The score, PRAM, grades how hard a child works to breathe. Records ran from August 2023 to March 2025 at a large child emergency unit, with 428 visits from children aged 2 to 17 years.
Scores were logged each hour for five rounds. Ward admission followed 35.0 percent of visits in the set. At triage the score split admissions with an AUC mark of 0.791, which marks fair sorting power. By hour two the mark rose to 0.829, the best read of the series. Long-stay calls stayed weaker. The authors back repeat scoring over one first read for safer sorting.
