Impact of the implementation of an evidence-based guideline ondiagnostic testing management and clinical outcomes for infants withbronchiolitis

摘要

Background:Although bronchiolitis poses a significant health problem in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), to the best of our knowledge, to date it has not been determined whether evidence-based bronchiolitis clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) complemented by standardized educational strategies reduce the use of unnecessary diagnostic tests and medications and improve clinically important outcomes in LMICs.
