Emergency department‐initiated home oxygen for viral bronchiolitis: A cost‐effectiveness analysis

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).
