The heterogeneity of viral bronchiolitis: A lack of universal consensus definitions

Abstract: Viral bronchiolitis is one of the most common hospital presentations in infancy and as such represents a major healthcare burden worldwide. However despite this, there are currently no effective targeted therapies nor can those infants at highest risk for developing severe disease or subsequent respiratory morbidity be predicted on initial hospital presentation. Current definitions of bronchiolitis in the published literature vary significantly in terms of the age range at presentation, specific clinical sympt… Show more

“…Second, more than one definition of bronchiolitis can be used. The AAP defines bronchiolitis as an upper respiratory infection prodrome, followed by respiratory effort and wheezing in children less than 2 years of age, whereas European guidelines define bronchiolitis in children less than 12 months of age and restrict to the first presentation only, making results difficult to be generalised as patient groups might be significantly different . Third, when using a nebulised intervention, a placebo controlled study design can be challenging, as it is possible that normal 0.9% saline also has a mucolytic effect .…”

“…Se define como el primer episodio de dificultad respiratoria en lactantes menores de 24 meses, precedido por una infección de vías altas, habitualmente en período epidemiológico 6 . Hay una falta de consenso con respecto a la definición clínica de la bronquiolitis aguda en niños 7,8 . Existe escasa bibliografía acerca de la tasa de ingreso; según la literatura revisada, entre el 2-3% de los pacientes con bronquiolitis aguda precisarán ingreso hospitalario, y de estos, entre el 3-11% requerirán ingreso en una unidad de cuidados intensivos pediátricos (UCIP), aumentando el porcentaje hasta el 50% en poblaciones con factores de riesgo asociados 9---11 .…”

“…El nombre de «bronquiolitis» se aplica actualmente en todo el mundo en cientos de miles de diagnósticos cada año. Sin embargo, todavía existen problemas en su definición 4 . No hay criterios diagnósticos universalmente aceptados, por lo que un mismo cuadro clínico puede ser diagnosticado como BA o recibir otra denominación: asma de lactante, bronconeumonía, episodio de sibilancias, o bronquitis con variados calificativos (espástica, asmática, catarral, etc.).…”
