1 Descriptive analysis: Data are expressed either as % (n/total of patients for which this condition was recorded in medical history) or as mean (SD).

2 Mean (standard deviation) of ReSVinet scale according to each rater and the different variables. Correlation was assessed by Wilcoxon’s test for dichotomic variables, Kruskal-Wallis for discrete variables with more than two categories and Spearman’s correlation for continuous variables.

3 The p-value on the table represents the least significant one among all the observers (the case presenting the least significant value is indicated between brackets).

4 The method used for detecting RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) in respiratory secretions of our patients was direct immunofluorescence.

5 Spearman’s correlation coefficient was used for the statistical analysis. Mean length of stay expressed as days (SD).
