Factors predicting prolonged hospital stay for infants with bronchiolitis

BACKGROUND: Prior prediction models for length of stay (LOS) in bronchiolitis have focused more on birth‐ and disease‐related risk factors than on early hospital course factors, particularly common clinical markers including respiratory status and caloric intake. OBJECTIVES: 1) Study the association...

Description
Summary:BACKGROUND: Prior prediction models for length of stay (LOS) in bronchiolitis have focused more on birth‐ and disease‐related risk factors than on early hospital course factors, particularly common clinical markers including respiratory status and caloric intake. OBJECTIVES: 1) Study the associations of various clinical markers and LOS; and 2) develop a LOS prediction model. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. PATIENTS: Inclusion criteria were: age
