One common factor was extracted, the cumulative variance contribution rate of superior sternal fossa depression was 61.83%. The criterion related validity between the evaluation results of doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists and the grading standard of bronchial asthma severity in the " Guidelines for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of bronchial asthma in children ( 2016 edition)" were 0.903, 0.884 and 0.889, the ROC curve of the scale was 0.867 (95% CI 0.754-0.980).
