Management and outcomes of bronchiolitis in Italy and Latin America: a multi-center, prospective, observational study.

Abstract

We found significant differences in the care for children with bronchiolitis in Italy and LA. Reasons behind such differences are unclear and would require further investigations to optimize and homogenize practice all over the world. • Bronchiolitis is among the commest cause of morbidity and mortality in infants all over the world. • There are significant differences on how clinicians care for bronchiolitis in different centers and continents.Differences in care can be principally due to different local practices than differences in patients severity/presentations. • Understanding these differences should be a priority to optime and standardize bronchiolitis care globally.
