The bivariate logistic regression designed to investigate the possible confounding factors (sex, clinical severity score, days of hospitalization and exposure to passive smoking, RSV, hBoV, and IV fluid) showed that the 6-12 months group had an odds ratio of hBoV detected at the NPA of 12.84 (95% CI 3.60-45.80) and the need of IV fluid of 0.45 (95% CI 0.20-0.99). According to our findings of a higher occurrence within the epidemic season and of the slightly higher frequency of recurrent wheezing at 36 months' follow-up, infants > 6 months seems represent a different group of patients hospitalized for bronchiolitis, who are more predisposed to childhood asthma. • Bronchiolitis is a common cause of lower respiratory tract infection in infants and the major responsible factor of hospitalization under the age of one year. ./cache/cord-010390-lc22hp3o.txt ./txt/cord-010390-lc22hp3o.txt
