One of the most important strategies for treatment of an RSV infection is to decide whether the patient needs respiratory support. This study aimed to assess the validity and clinical benefit of the Global Respiratory Severity Score (GRSS) and the Wang bronchiolitis severity score (WBSS) for clinical decision-making regarding providing respiratory support (high-flow nasal cannula, nasal continuous positive airway pressure, or ventilator) in infants with an RSV infection.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n<jats:title>Study design and methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>This retrospective cohort study enrolled 250 infants aged under 10 months who were admitted to Atsugi City Hospital with an RSV infection between January 2012 and December 2019. The utility of these scores was evaluated for assessing the need for respiratory support through decision curve analysis by calculating the optimal GRSS and WBSS cut-offs for predicting the need for respiratory support.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Twenty-six infants (10.4%) received respiratory support. The optimal cut-offs for the GRSS and the WBSS were 4.52 and 7, respectively. Decision curve analysis suggested that the GRSS was a better predictive tool than the WBSS if the probability of needing respiratory support was 10\u201340%.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec
