Abstract

Authors’ conclusions: initiation of treatment with oral propranolol before 10 weeks of age was associated with a better success. Early referral should be made so they can be treated as soon as possible.

Reviewers’ commentary: data analysis suggests an improvement in the success rate of propranolol if initiated before 10 weeks; an implementable measure; nonetheless, it is necessary to check the rule´s external validity.
