Table 1

RRTI diagnostic criteria.

Age (years)	URTI (frequency/years)	LRTI (frequency/years)
		Recurrent bronchitis	Recurrent pneumonia
0∼2	7	3	2
2∼5	6	2	2
5∼14	5	2	2

Notes. (1) The interval between two infections shall be at least 7 days. (2) If the frequency of the upper respiratory tract infections is not enough, the frequency of the upper and lower respiratory tract infections can be added; if the frequency of the lower respiratory tract infections is not enough, they cannot be added up. (3) The frequency shall be confirmed through continuous observation for 1 year. (4) Repeated pneumonia refers to repeated pneumonia ≥2 times within 1 year. Pneumonia must be confirmed by lung signs and imaging. Pneumonia signs and imaging changes should completely disappear during the two pneumonia diagnoses.
