Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Diagnosis of pneumonia	6 months	Positive percent agreement and negative percent agreement to diagnose and rule out pneumonia as compared with (1) World Health Organization (WHO) Primary Endpoint Pneumonia (PEP) plus clinical pneumonia, (2) WHO PEP or Other Infiltrate plus clinical pneumonia, (3) Clinical pneumonia alone
Diagnosis of other childhood respiratory diseases	6 months	Positive percent agreement and negative percent agreement to diagnose and rule out: lower respiratory tract disease (i.e. respiratory condition occurring below the level of the larynx), viral lower respiratory tract infection, bronchiolitis, asthma/reactive airways disease, upper respiratory tract disease, and croup.
