Abstract
FOBAS reliably predicts FBA in cases of suspected FBA and improves management and in-hospital decision-making. • Foreign body aspiration is a major cause of pediatric morbidity and mortality. • Currently, there is no unified protocol for children referred to the emergency department for suspected FBA,therefore,awell-defined algorithm is needed to improve the decision-making process. • The pediatric Foreign body aspiration score (FOBAS) is a new, prospectively validated clinical score that shows high sensitivity and specificity for the presence of FBA in children. • FOBAS reduces unnecessary admissions and invasive procedures and leads to better clinical outcomes.
