ex0824: Respiratory Rates for Children

Description

A high respiratory rate is a potential diagnostic indicator of respiratory infection in children. To judge whether a respiratory rate is high however, a physician must have a clear picture of the distribution of normal rates. To this end, Italian researchers measured the respiratory rates of 618 children between the ages of 15 days and 3 years.
