<prompt> Answer this question truthfullyWhat is the instrument used to assess respiratory distress called?  <response>: <reason> Recently, the construct validity of the RDAI has been challenged due to low correlation with subsequent admission to the hospital or length of stay LOS. In a study of 65 children, the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.39 95 CI: 0.170.58 n 65 as measured by respiratory therapists. This suggestspoor agreement. The Childrens Hospital of Wisconsin Respiratory Score CHWRS may better predict the need for admission. Additional alternative scales are:Courts scale which includes respiratory rate and assessments of retractions, adventitial sounds, skin color, and general condition. Bronchiolitis severity score BSS which includes respiratory rate and assessments of wheezing, retractions and general condition. Respiratory distress observation scale RDOS . This rates four findings on a scale ranging from 0 to 3 so that total scores range from 0 to 12. Tal and modified-Tal scoring systems
