A Quality Initiative to Prioritize Enteral Feeding in Bronchiolitis.

Introduction: Recent studies have identified enteral feeding as a safe alternative to intravenous fluid hydration for inpatients with bronchiolitis receiving respiratory support. Specifically, it can improve vital signs, shorten time on high-flow nasal cannula, and is associated with reduced length of stay. We aimed to increase the percentage of patients receiving enteral feeding on admission with mild-to-moderate bronchiolitis, including those on high-flow nasal cannula, from 83% to 95% within 6 months.

Assessing the Reliability of Reported Medical History in Older Adults.

Background: Age-associated increases in medical complexity, frailty, and cognitive impairment may compromise reliable reporting of medical history.

Objective: To evaluate the influence of increasing age and cognitive impairment on concordance between reported history of stroke and cerebral infarction, and reported history of diabetes and elevated hemoglobinA1c in community-dwelling older adults.

Methods: The association between participant-specific factors and accurate reporting of stroke or diabetes was evaluated using multivariable logistic regression in 1,401 participants enrolled in longitudinal studies of memory and aging, including 425 participants with dementia (30.
