This article presents the development and validation of a clinical diagnostic scale for the assessment of acute rhinosinusitis in early childhood (children under 3 years of age). The proposed scale is based on a point-based evaluation of the main clinical manifestations of the disease, with mandatory consideration of age-related features of the clinical course of rhinosinusitis in this patient population, which is particularly important given the limited возможности for objective assessment of young children’s condition. The developed tool enables differential diagnosis between viral, post-viral, and probable bacterial rhinosinusitis, as well as an objective determination of disease severity. Implementation of this scale contributes to improved diagnostic accuracy, optimization of patient management strategies, and more rational therapeutic decision-making. In addition, the scale may be used both in routine clinical practice by pediatricians and otorhinolaryngologists and in the development and implementation of intelligent clinical decision support systems.
