Bronchiolitis is the leading cause of hospital admission among infants in Australia and New Zealand, impacting healthcare resources.
Younger age, prematurity, and tobacco smoke exposure are significant risk factors identified through a systematic analysis of observational studies.
The review synthesized literature from 10 studies involving nearly 900,000 infants, mostly rated with low risk of bias.
Understanding these risk factors is crucial for targeted interventions such as respiratory syncytial virus immunization for high-risk infants.
