Childhood bronchiolitis obliterans in Hong Kong‐case series over a 20‐year period

Pediatric Pulmonology Nov 27, 2020

Chan KC, Yu MW, Cheung TWY, et al. - Researchers conducted this clinical review to describe the clinical features and outcomes of children diagnosed with bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) in Hong Kong (HK). The sample consisted of pediatric patients with BO under the care of six respiratory units in HK from January 1996 to December 2015. Data were retrieved from medical records. Participants in the study were 56 patients with a male predominance (67.9%) and the median age at diagnosis was 1.98 years (interquartile range [IQR]: 0.84–4.99 years). According to this retrospective study, the most common cause of childhood BO in HK is postinfectious and persistent symptoms at follow‐up were consistent with coinfection at presentation. There were no risk factors significantly linked to worse clinical outcomes (oxygen/ventilator dependence or death) by logistic regression.
