    Abstract Background: There is evidence suggesting that exaggerated reliance on pulse oximetry (SpO2) and the use of arbitrary/inadequate thresholds of SpO2 might drive unnecessary hospitalizations for viral bronchiolitis, especially among high-altitude residents. The aim of the present study was to compare the cost-effectiveness of two oxygen SpO2 thresholds for deciding whether infants with viral bronchiolitis living at high altitudes need hospital admission or can be discharged home.
    Methods: A cost-effectiveness study was performed to compare the cost and clinical outcomes of two oxygen SpO2 thresholds, adjusted or not, to an altitude above the sea level of Bogota, Colombia (2640 m), for deciding whether infants with viral bronchiolitis need hospitalization or can be discharged home. The principal outcome was avoidance of hospital admission.
    Results: Compared to the use of an SpO2 threshold of 90%, using an SpO2 threshold of 85% in infants with viral bronchiolitis was associated with lower overall costs (US$130.4 vs. US$194.0 average cost per patient) and a higher probability of hospitalization avoided (0.7500 vs. 0.5900), thus leading to dominance.
    Conclusions: The use of an SpO2 threshold below 90% for deciding on hospitalization in infants with viral bronchiolitis living at high altitudes appears to be logical, secure, and cost-effective.

    Abstract Objective: To use objective quantification of polysomnographic (PSG) parameters in premature infants to define the severity and nature of obstructions (partial hypopnea vs. total obstruction), along with the impact on sleep fragmentation and oxygenation patterns.
    Methods: Retrospective comparison of PSG features in 207 infants (<12 months) referred for sleep disordered breathing. Our study groups included term (> = 37 weeks GA, n = 162) and premature (<37 weeks GA, n = 45) infants. Groups were compared for OSA sleep-stage-specific apnea hypopnea (AHI) indexes (REM and NREM), hypopnea indexes (HI), obstructive apnea indexes (OI) and arousal indexes. Oxygenation was assessed as % of time with SpO
    Results: Overall, premature infants had greater apnea severity (AHI premature 13.9/h vs. Term 7.9/h, p = 0.018). Additional analyses showed that the primary difference between premature and term infants is seen in the group with partial obstructions (HI index) and severe OSA (OAHI> = 10/h). Premature infants also had greater arousal indexes (premature 13.8/h vs. term 10.5/h, p = 0.003). Although the percentage of time <90% at night and the median SpO
    Conclusions: Children born premature have an OSA phenotype in infancy characterized by greater severity mostly due to frequent partial obstructions (hypopneas) rather than full obstructions (obstructive apnea). Prematurity is also associated with more intermittent hypoxemia and sleep fragmentation.

    Abstract Over the past two decades, several studies have positioned early-life microbial exposure as a key factor for protection or susceptibility to respiratory diseases. Birth cohorts have identified a strong link between neonatal bacterial colonization of the nasal airway and gut with the risk for respiratory infections and childhood asthma. Translational studies have provided companion mechanistic insights on how viral and bacterial exposures in early life affect immune development at the respiratory mucosal barrier. In this review, we summarize and discuss our current understanding of how early microbial-immune interactions occur during infancy, with a particular focus on the emergent paradigm of "innate immune training". Future human-based studies including newborns and infants are needed to inform the timing and key pathways implicated in the development, maturation, and innate training of the airway immune response, and how early microbiota and virus exposures modulate these processes in the respiratory system during health and disease.

    Abstract Objective: The use of emergency department (ED)-initiated outpatient oxygen therapy has been considered to be a possible alternative to hospitalization for otherwise healthy-appearing, well-hydrated infants with uncomplicated disease. However, a formal economic evaluation of this treatment strategy is lacking. The aim of the present study was to compare the cost-effectiveness of ED-initiated outpatient oxygen therapy versus conventional inpatient hospitalization in infants with uncomplicated hypoxic bronchiolitis living in Bogota, the high-altitude capital city of Colombia, a middle-income country (MIC).
    Methods: A decision analysis model was developed to estimate the cost-effectiveness of ED-initiated outpatient oxygen therapy versus hospitalization. The main outcome of the model was avoidance of admission to a high-dependency unit.
    Results: Compared to hospitalization, ED-initiated outpatient oxygen therapy was associated with lower total costs (US$306.7 vs. US$638.7 average cost per patient) and a higher probability of avoidance of admission to a high-dependency unit (0.9528 vs. 0.8960), thus leading to dominance. The results were robust to deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses.
    Conclusions: Our study suggests that in infants attending the ED with an uncomplicated hypoxic bronchiolitis episode in the city of Bogota, a high-altitude city, ED-initiated outpatient oxygen therapy is a dominant strategy compared to conventional inpatient hospitalization, because it involves a higher probability of avoidance of admission to a high-dependency unit, at lower total treatment costs.
