Abstract

Objective: To evaluate treatment outcomes and associated factors in children with acute bronchiolitis at Thai Nguyen Central Hospital. Subjects: Pediatric patients aged 0 to 24 months diagnosed with acute bronchiolitis and treated at the Pediatrics Center of Thai Nguyen Central Hospital. Methods: Descriptive study. Results: A total of 135 children met the inclusion criteria, primarily full-term infants with birth weights of 2500 grams or more. The majority of children had mild to moderate bronchiolitis, and most did not present with malnutrition.The treatment outcomes for acute bronchiolitis in children under 2 years of age were as follows: Recovery rate: 90.4%, Improvement rate: 7.2%, Severe cases requiring transfer: 2.2%. Children under 6 months of age with acute bronchiolitis had a 2.92 times higher risk of hospitalization lasting over 10 days compared to children aged 6 months or older. Children with severe bronchiolitis at admission had a 3.2 times higher risk of prolonged hospitalization (over 10 days) compared to those with mild to moderate disease. Conclusion: The duration of treatment for acute bronchiolitis was less than 10 days in 82.2% of cases, while 17.8% required more than 10 days. The recovery rate for children under 2 years old was 90.4%, with an improvement rate of 7.2% and a transfer rate for severe cases of 2.2%. Prolonged treatment (>10 days) was associated with children under 6 months of age and severe disease at admission
