Jonathan M Mansbach et al. J Pediatr. 2022 Feb.

Abstract

In a prospective, multicenter cohort of infants hospitalized with bronchiolitis, we found infants born late pre-term (ie, gestational age of 34-36.9 weeks) had 35% higher odds of having asthma by age 5 years compared with infants born at full-term.

Keywords: hospitalization; intensive care; pulmonary function; wheezing.
