International variation in evidence-based emergency department management of bronchiolitis: a retrospective cohort study (2022)
Journal Article

OBJECTIVES: We aimed to evaluate the international variation in the use of evidence-based management (EBM) in bronchiolitis. We hypothesised that management consistent with full-EBM practices is associated with the research network of care, adjusted...
