Abstract
Hospital care for children with viral lower respiratory illness (VLRI) is highly variable, and its relationship to severity and impact on outcome is unclear. Using the Pediatric Comprehensive Severity Index, we analyzed the correlation of institutional practice variation with severity and resource utilization in 10 children's medical centers.
