Key result
A simple self-completion symptom diary for acute lower respiratory tract infection correlated significantly with the MYMOP2 profile at baseline (r=0.62) and day 11 (r=0.81).
Why the study?
Does a self-completion symptom diary correlate with MYMOP2 for assessing symptom duration and severity in patients with acute lower respiratory tract infection?
