Risk factors for adverse outcomes of Indigenous infants hospitalized with bronchiolitis 2015-11-17 .txt text/plain 4439 258 40 3 However, there is relatively little data on other factors (e.g. detection of bacteria with viruses) associated with LOS in hospital in an at-risk population (e.g., Indigenous children who have more severe bronchiolitis) 4 and future bronchiectasis. In the absence of any data from Indigenous children, we combined data from three prospective studies that included 232 Indigenous infants hospitalized with a clinical diagnosis of bronchiolitis, to examine factors (clinical and microbiological) on admission that were associated with (i) prolonged LOS (Aim-1); (ii) presence of persistent symptoms 3 weeks after hospital discharge (Aim-2); (iii) whether presence of cough at 3 weeks was associated with bronchiectasis up to $24 months posthospitalisation (Aim-3); and (iv) re-hospitalization within 6 months for a respiratory illness (Aim-4). In the first prospective study of Indigenous infants hospitalized with bronchiolitis with post-hospitalization data at 3 weeks and 6 months, we found that the severity score on admission, particularly accessory muscle use, was the sole factor associated with prolonged LOS once other factors (clinical and microbiological) were accounted for. ./cache/cord-320806-vzqof0nj.txt ./txt/cord-320806-vzqof0nj.txt
