Factors associated with the time to recover adequate nutrition in infants hospitalized for bronchiolitis, a French retrospective study.

Background: Inadequate feeding is a frequent reason for hospital referring in infants with bronchiolitis and may leads to unnecessary prolonged hospitalization. Our objective was to identify the factors associated with the time to recover adequate feeding (TRAF) and the hospital length of stay (LOS) in infants hospitalized for bronchiolitis.

Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective study including infants less than 12 months hospitalized for bronchiolitis at Le Havre Hospital (France) between September 2018 and February 2021.
