Risk factors for recurrent wheezing following acute bronchiolitis: A 12-month follow-Up

The objective of this study was to identify wheezing recurrences and related risk factors in two groups of infants with bronchiolitis: respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) (+) and RSV (−) as determined by RSV enzyme immunoassay. A 1‐year prospective cohort study was conducted with infants younger than...

Zusammenfassung:	The objective of this study was to identify wheezing recurrences and related risk factors in two groups of infants with bronchiolitis: respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) (+) and RSV (−) as determined by RSV enzyme immunoassay. A 1‐year prospective cohort study was conducted with infants younger than 2 years old. Follow‐up was made monthly, by a clinical visit and/or by telephone, checking the number of wheezing episodes per month and possible related risk factors. There were 96 subjects enrolled, of whom 77 reached complete follow‐up: 36 were RSV (+) (46.8%), and 41 were RSV (−) (53.2%). In the RSV (+) group, there were 17 males (47%), vs. RSV (−) with 30 males (73%) (P
