Predictors for critical care admission among children presenting to emergency department with recurrent wheezing.

Breastfeeding is known to have protective effects for occurrence of wheezing among children.[ 3 , 15 , 16 ] In a large multicentric study across Latin America and Europe, it was observed that breastfeeding for >3 months protected children from recurrent wheezing (OR: 0.8 [0.71–0.89] in Latin America and 0.77 [0.63–0.93] in Europe).[ 17 ] Although we observed that the number of infants who were exclusively breastfed were lower in cases when compared to controls, it did not reach statistical significance.
