Key result
Heating with a stove at home significantly increased the risk of developing moderate to severe bronchiolitis episodes (OR 5.854) in children aged 2 months to 2 years.
Why the study?
The study aimed to identify viral pathogens and evaluate clinical prognosis, risk factors for recurrence, and severity of acute viral bronchiolitis episodes in pediatric patients.
Population
101 children aged between 2 months and 2 years diagnosed with clinical bronchiolitis
Follow-up
At least one year

May guide risk stratification in infants; leaves open whether modifying these factors reduces frequent bronchiolitis.
Cohort (n=101)
No
Odds Ratio: 5.854 (95% CI 1.25–27.402)

Prematurity, environmental smoke, crowded housing, and urban living are significant risk factors for frequent bronchiolitis in young children.
Atay et al. (2019) conducted a cohort in Clinical bronchiolitis (n=101). Heating with a stove vs. Central heating or no stove was evaluated on Development of moderate and severe bronchiolitis episodes (OR 5.854, 95% CI 1.250-27.402, p=0.025). Heating with a stove at home significantly increased the risk of developing moderate to severe bronchiolitis episodes (OR 5.854) in children aged 2 months to 2 years.
