Criteria for Safe Hospital Discharge in Bronchiolitis: A Systematic Review

Emergency Medicine Australasia, Volume 38, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Bronchiolitis is the leading cause of hospital presentation and admission for infants in Australasia. We aimed to synthesise current evidence on the effect of discharge criteria for infants (aged < 12 months) who are presenting to or are admitted to hospital with bronchiolitis, to inform a binational guideline recommendation update.
