To determine whether hospital length-of-stay (LOS) for bronchiolitis is influenced by the causative virus: respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) or rhinovirus.
This prospective study was carried out in 3 university hospitals in Finland during 2 consecutive winter seasons. We enrolled consecutive children <2 years of age hospitalized with an attending physician's diagnosis of bronchiolitis. All enrolled children were included in the primary analysis. A parallel analysis was also conducted using a stricter definition for bronchiolitis (age <12 months and no history of wheeze). Polymerase chain reaction was used to test the nasopharyngeal aspirate samples for multiple respiratory pathogens.
The median age of the 408 children was 8 months, 73% had no history of wheeze and their median hospital LOS was 2 days. 144 (35%) children had RSV only and 92 (23%) children rhinovirus only infections. Children with rhinovirus only had shorter duration of prehospital symptoms, higher disease severity score at entry and more often a history of wheezing (all P ≤ 0.001). Controlling for 7 demographic and clinical characteristics, those with rhinovirus only had shorter hospital LOS when compared with children with RSV only (adjusted odds ratio: 0.45; 95% confidence interval: 0.22-0.92; P = 0.03). The rhinovirus only finding was similar in the subset of 206 children with stricter diagnosis (adjusted odds ratio: 0.30; 0.06-1.49; P = 0.14).
Hospital LOS is associated with rhinovirus etiology of bronchiolitis. Our data call attention to the importance of both RSV and rhinovirus testing in clinical research.
确定毛细支气管炎的住院时间(LOS)是否受致病病毒(呼吸道合胞病毒(RSV)或鼻病毒)的影响。
这项前瞻性研究在芬兰的3所大学医院连续两个冬季进行。我们纳入了经主治医生诊断为毛细支气管炎的连续住院的2岁以下儿童。所有纳入的儿童均纳入初步分析。还使用更严格的毛细支气管炎定义(年龄<12个月且无喘息史)进行了平行分析。采用聚合酶链反应检测鼻咽抽吸物样本中的多种呼吸道病原体。
408名儿童的中位年龄为8个月,73%无喘息史,中位住院时间为2天。144名(35%)儿童仅感染RSV,92名(23%)儿童仅感染鼻病毒。仅感染鼻病毒的儿童院前症状持续时间较短,入院时疾病严重程度评分较高,且更常有喘息史(所有P≤0.001)。在控制了7个人口统计学和临床特征后,仅感染鼻病毒的儿童与仅感染RSV的儿童相比,住院时间更短(调整后的优势比:0.45;95%置信区间:0.22 - 0.92;P = 0.03)。在206名诊断更严格的儿童亚组中,仅感染鼻病毒的结果相似(调整后的优势比:0.30;0.06 - 1.49;P = 0.14)。
住院时间与毛细支气管炎的鼻病毒病因相关。我们的数据提醒人们注意在临床研究中同时检测RSV和鼻病毒的重要性。
