The Bronchiolitis Follow-up Intervention Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Scheduled PCP follow-up and As needed PCP follow-up for Bronchiolitis. Completed, enrolled 304 participants across 4 sites.
Detailed Summary
This study evaluates the value of routine follow-up with a child's pediatrician after hospitalization for bronchiolitis. Parents of half of participants will be instructed to follow-up with the child's pediatrician regardless of symptom resolution, while the other half will be instructed to follow-up on an as-needed basis (only if the child worsens, doesn't improve, or other concerns develop).
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Parents of children randomized to scheduled follow up will be instructed to follow up with their primary care physician within 4 days of discharge regardless of improvement and/or symptom resolution. Research coordinators will verify that the child has a scheduled follow up appointment prior to discharge.
At the time of hospital discharge, parents will be instructed that the child does not need to automatically follow up with his/her primary care physician. Rather, the child should follow up on an as needed basis: if the child does not improve or if new concerns arise.
