Predictive value of clinico-radiological variables in the management of suspected foreign body aspiration in children: A ten-year retrospective cohort study.

Background: Definite history is not always present in children with foreign body aspiration (FBA), hence necessitating a high index of suspicion.

Objective: To assess the predictive value of clinico-radiological variables among children presenting with features of suspected FBA and to document their course in a tertiary care teaching hospital.

Materials And Methods: In this retrospective observational study, we included children aged below 15 years presenting with clinical features of suspected FBA.
