“…To build such predictive models, we should use the risk factors for asthma known in the existing literature [234][235][236][237][238][239] rather than only those for bronchiolitis patients. As one predictive model does not fit all, we should develop separate predictive models for children presenting with bronchiolitis at <6, 6-12, and 13-24 months of age [240].…”

Purpose: Bronchiolitis is the most common cause of illness leading to hospitalization in young children. At present, many bronchiolitis management decisions are made subjectively, leading to significant practice variation among hospitals and physicians caring for children with bronchiolitis. To standardize care for bronchiolitis, researchers have proposed various models to predict the disease course to help determine a proper management plan. This paper reviews the existing state of the art of predictive modeling for bronchiolitis. Predictive modeling for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is covered whenever appropriate, as RSV accounts for about 70% of bronchiolitis cases.Methods: A systematic review was conducted through a PubMed search up to April 25, 2014. The literature on predictive modeling for bronchiolitis was retrieved using a comprehensive search query, which was developed through an iterative process.Search results were limited to human subjects, the English language, and children (birth-18 years). Results:The literature search returned 2,312 references in total. After manual review, 168 of these references were determined to be relevant and are discussed in this paper. We identify several limitations and open problems in predictive modeling for bronchiolitis, and provide some preliminary thoughts on how to address them, with the hope to stimulate future research in this domain. Conclusions:Many problems remain open in predictive modeling for bronchiolitis. Future studies will need to address them to achieve optimal predictive models.

“…Recently, a study conducted by Voisin et al has shown that swimming in indoor and outdoor pools during infancy is associated with a dosedependent increase in the risk of bronchiolitis. This effect independent of other risk factors as exposure to tobacco or smoke, day-care attendance or antecedents of atopic diseases and could increase the risk of asthma and respiratory allergies later during childhood [76].…”

“…It was shown that attendance at chlorinated pools before the age of 2 years was associated with an increased risk of bronchiolitis, and infant swimmers who developed bronchiolitis had a higher risk of asthma and respiratory allergies later in childhood. 5 Environmental tobacco smoke is one of the strongest predictors of chronic respiratory illness in children, including the development of asthma. There are now data that show that in utero smoke exposure can increase airway responsiveness to methacholine among children with asthma.…”

The purpose of this paper is to review the recent literature related to asthma, COPD, pulmonary function testing, and ventilator-associated pneumonia. Topics covered related to asthma include genetics and epigenetics; exposures; viruses; diet, obesity and exercise; exhaled nitric oxide; and drug therapy (␤ agonists, macrolides, tiotropium and monteleukast). Topics covered related to COPD include childhood disadvantage factors and COPD; vitamin D deficiency and COPD; ␤-blockers and COPD; corticosteroid therapy during COPD exacerbations; oxygen administration during 488RESPIRATORY CARE • APRIL 2011 VOL 56 NO 4 pre-hospital transport of patients with COPD exacerbation; and prognosis of patients admitted to the hospital for COPD exacerbation. Topics related to pulmonary function testing include methods and techniques; predicted values; natural history, pulmonary function in health and disease; and the COPD controversy. Finally, the paper includes the following topics related to ventilator-associated pneumonia: the tube, the intubation route, and the cuff; mechanical ventilation; the bundle; and cost. These topics were chosen and reviewed in a manner that is most likely to have interest to the readers of RESPIRATORY CARE.
