【 摘 要 】
Background:Children with Down syndrome have an increased burden of respiratory infections. We hypothesized that children with Down syndrome hospitalized for bronchiolitis would stay longer compared with children without Down syndrome.Methods:We conducted a retrospective case–control study of children with Down syndrome who were hospitalized for bronchiolitis in Singapore from 2004 to 2012.Results:There were 27 and 43 admissions in the Down syndrome and control groups respectively. More children with Down syndrome had congenital heart defects (14 (52%) vs. none in controls). Children with Down syndrome stayed longer in hospital compared with controls (7 (interquartile range (IQR) 5–14) vs. 3 (IQR 2–4) days, p<0.001). In a subgroup analysis of patients without or surgically corrected congenital heart defects, children with Down syndrome still had a longer stay (6 (IQR 5–8) vs. 3 (IQR 2–4) days, p<0.001).Conclusion:Our study suggests that children with Down syndrome hospitalized for bronchiolitis stayed long...
