Our goal was to evaluate the interobserver reliability (IOR) of TM compared with face-to-face (FTF) assessment of respiratory distress in children.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A prospective, cohort study was performed in pediatric emergency department from July 2012 to February 2013. Children (aged 0\u201318 years) who presented with signs of respiratory distress were included in the study. The respiratory score is a 4-item, 12-point scale (respiratory rate [1\u20133], retractions [0\u20133], dyspnea [0\u20133], and wheezing [0\u20133]) that assesses the severity of a child\u2019s respiratory distress. Each child was evaluated by a pair of observers from a pool of 25 observers. The first observer evaluated the patient FTF, and the second observer simultaneously and independently evaluated remotely via TM. The overall respiratory distress severity is based on the respiratory scale and reported as nonsevere (\u22648) and severe (\u22659) respiratory distress. The IOR reliability between FTF and TM assessment was measured using a 2-way mixed model, absolute agreement and average measure intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Forty-eight patients and 135 paired observations were recorded. IOR between the FTF and TM groups for total respiratory score had an ICC of 0.95 (confidence interval 0.93\u20130.96) and for subscores, the ICC range was as follows: respiratory rate = 0.92, retractions = 0.85, dyspnea = 0.94, and wheezing = 0.77.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>TM is a reliable tool to assess the severity of respiratory distress in children.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1542\/hpeds.2015-0272","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,1]],"date-time":"2016-08-01T08:42:40Z","timestamp":1470040960000},"page":"476-482","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Telemedicine: A Reliable Tool to Assess the Severity of Respiratory Distress in Children"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Rajender","family":"Gattu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pediatric Emergency Medicine and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joey","family":"Scollan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pediatric Emergency Medicine and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amita","family":"DeSouza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Maryland Medical Center; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Danielle","family":"Devereaux","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Division of Neonatology, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Holli","family":"Weaver","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pediatric Emergency Medicine and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexander G.","family":"Agthe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Division of Neonatology, University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"417","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021120817195414800_B1","first-page":"2006","volume-title":"Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Statistical Brief #52","author":"Merrill","year":"2005"},{"key":"2021120817195414800_B2","first-page":"2006","article-title":"Reasons for Being Admitted to the Hospital through the Emergency Department for Children and Adolescents","volume-title":"Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Statistical Brief #33","author":"Merrill","year":"2004"},{"issue":"1","key":"2021120817195414800_B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"26","DOI":"10.1097\/PEC.0000000000000061","article-title":"Interhospital pediatric patient transfers\u2014factors influencing rapid disposition after transfer","volume":"30","author":"Gattu","year":"2014","journal-title":"Pediatr Emerg Care"},{"issue":"1","key":"2021120817195414800_B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"13","DOI":"10.1089\/15305620252933374","article-title":"Telemedicine\/telehealth: an international perspective.
