Abstract:ObjectiveAcute bronchiolitis is the most common cause of hospitalization in young children. Data on monocyte‐to‐lymphocyte‐ratio (MLR) and neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte‐ratio (NLR) as biomarkers are limited. We aim to evaluate these ratios in children hospitalized with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis and their value as biomarkers for severe clinical outcomes.Study DesignA single‐center retrospective cohort study of children aged <2 years hospitalized due to RSV bronchiolitis, between January 2018… Show more
