Abstract
The precise association between bronchiolitis and predisposition to childhood wheeze is unclear. We assessed bronchiolitis aetiology and later wheeze phenotypes in the entire 2007 English birth cohort. All infants admitted to hospital in England during their first year of life with bronchiolitis or urinary tract infection (UTI) were followed using Hospital Episode Statistics to determine risk and characteristics of wheeze admission over the subsequent 8 years. In our cohort of 21 272 children compared with UTI, the risk of wheeze admission was higher with previous bronchiolitis (risk ratio (RR) 2.4), even higher in those with non-respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis (RR 3.1) and persisted into late-onset wheeze (RR 1.7).
