The PREPARE hypoxemia risk score, comprising five easily available characteristics, has the potential to be used to identify hypoxemia in children with pneumonia with a fair degree of certainty for use in health facilities without pulse oximetry. Its implementation would require careful consideration to limit the burden of inappropriate referrals on patients and the health system. Further external validation in community settings in low- and middle-income countries is required.
