Comparative StudyFrequency and timing of recurrent events in infants using home cardiorespiratory monitors.
To determine the incidence, type, timing, and factors predictive of recurrent significant events in infants with home cardiorespiratory monitors. ⋯ Because most apnea, bradycardia, and recurrent clinical events began during the first month of monitoring, we emphasize the need for vigilant follow-up care of infants immediately after institution of home monitoring. Readmission for investigation is warranted in infants with severe or multiple recurrent events.

To determine the effectiveness of nebulized budesonide in the treatment of acute bronchiolitis and in the prevention of postbronchiolitic wheezing. ⋯ This study did not demonstrate that a 6-week course of nebulized budesonide reduced the symptoms of acute bronchiolitis or prevented postbronchiolitic wheezing.

Comparative StudyUltrasonographic and clinical predictors of intussusception.
The objective of this study was to determine the positive and negative clinical predictors of intussusception and the correlation of ultrasonography and air enema in establishing this diagnosis. ⋯ Excellent positive predictors of intussusception were identified prospectively. Although no reliable negative predictors were found, patients at low risk may be screened by ultrasonography.
