CRIB2
Admitted patients with bronchiolitis at 7 Australian and New Zealand Centres: Retrospective analysis of epidemiological data
The CRIB2 study is a retrospective chart review of all the patients who were identified during the Comparative Rehydration in Bronchiolitis (CRIB) study, a randomised controlled trial that was completed in 2011. 3919 patients were admitted with bronchiolitis from 2009 – 2011 and assessed for eligibility as part of the CRIB study. These patients’ records will be analysed to look at the overall epidemiology of admitted patients with bronchiolitis; outcomes in patients with pre-existing medical conditions admitted with bronchiolitis; seasonal and geographical variation of admission characteristics and nasopharyngeal aspirates (NPA); intensive care interventions; and the use of inhaled bronchodilators and oral steroids in admitted patients with bronchiolitis.
