Why the study?

Does Adenovirus etiology affect clinical and pulmonary function findings in children with postinfectious bronchiolitis obliterans compared to unknown etiology?

Population

58 children with postinfectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PIBO), median age 8 years, male/female ratio 3.4:1.

Comparison

Adenovirus (+) etiology (Group 1) vs No etiologic agent identified (Group 2)

Overview

Adenovirus status may not inform prognosis or management in postinfectious bronchiolitis obliterans; leaves open etiology-specific mechanisms for future study.

Structured PICO

Does Adenovirus etiology affect clinical and pulmonary function findings in children with postinfectious bronchiolitis obliterans compared to unknown etiology?

P
Population
58 children with postinfectious bronchiolitis obliterans (PIBO), median age 8 years, male/female ratio 3.4:1.
I
Intervention
Adenovirus (+) etiology (Group 1)
C
Comparator
No etiologic agent identified (Group 2)
O
Outcome
Clinical features and pulmonary function findings (spirometry and plethysmography)surrogate

Adenovirus etiology does not appear to significantly alter the severe obstructive pulmonary function sequelae in children with postinfectious bronchiolitis obliterans compared to unknown etiologies.
