TABLE 3

The incidence rate ratio (IRR) for episodes of recurrent wheeze at 2 years of age are given by factors observed in infants admitted to hospital with acute bronchiolitis, based on zero-truncated negative binomial regression analysis

The zero-truncated negative binomial regression analysis are adjusted for sex, age at inclusion and parental atopy. RSV: respiratory syncytial virus; HRV: human rhinovirus.#: specific immunoglobulin E ≥0.35 kU·L−1.
