Abstract

Authors’ conclusions: in the outcome of asthma after bronchiolitis relevant risk factors have been identified: male sex, being older than 5 months with more than two episodes of bronchiolitis, atopy or family history of atopy and allergies. Their identification would allow the physicians to give better health education to the family, and the children could be followed more intensively in primary care.

Reviewers’ commentary: according to this study of clinical reports, when our patient does not have a series of risk factors, it is highly probable that he or she will not suffer from asthma in one years’ time. But this study presents methodological problems that hinder a high confidence in its conclusions.
