Description
Barrés-Fernández and co-authors link early calorie intake to hospital stay length for babies with bronchiolitis. Feeding trouble is common in this illness and can cut calories sharply. Proof tying intake to stay length was thin before this study.
The cohort covered 613 children under two treated in Valencia, Spain, from 2013 to 2023. Calorie adequacy was scored as a share of WHO and FAO needs, counting food and IV sources. Median stay was five days. Lower adequacy in the first days tracked with longer stays. Day two showed the strongest early link with stay length.
