Criteria for referral, admission, oxygen supplementation, and discharge</h2><div id="niceng9er1.s1.1"><h3>1.1. Review question</h3><p>What thresholds of oxygen saturation should indicate that a baby or child with suspected or confirmed bronchiolitis should be immediately referred to hospital, admitted to hospital, given supplementary oxygen, and can be safely discharged?</p><div id="niceng9er1.s1.1.1"><h4>1.1.1. Introduction</h4><p>Bronchiolitis is a lower respiratory tract infection most reported in babies under the age of one. Symptoms are similar to those of the common cold but can be associated with serious outcomes. Therefore, identifying babies and children who are experiencing, or are likely to experience, more severe disease is important for choosing appropriate care. Current NICE guidance recommends that oxygen saturation below 92% should be considered alongside other criteria when deciding if babies and children with suspected bronchiolitis should be referred to hospital, admitted, given supplementary oxygen, or discharged.</p><p>A Health Technology Assessment concluded that a lower oxygen saturation threshold could be no less safe than the current threshold of 92%. A review of this evidence is timely, as the incidence of new cases of bronchiolitis may not follow typical seasonal trends during the SARS-COV-2 pandemic (diagnosis of COVID in babies and children presenting with suspected bronchiolitis is outside of the scope of this update, but guidance on this has been produced by the <a href="https://www.rcpch.ac.uk/resources/national-guidance-management-children-bronchiolitis-during-covid-19" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health</a>). It is important to avoid unnecessary admissions and excessive length of stay in hospital as these may not be of benefit to some babies and children with bronchiolitis and may also have wider impacts on provision of care. This review will assess if an oxygen saturation threshold lower than the current recommendation of 92% is safe with respect to referral to hospital, admission to hospital, indicating oxygen supplementation, and discharge.</p></div><div id="niceng9er1.s1.1.2"><h4>1.1.2.

Methods and process</h4><p>Risk of bias was assessed in randomised controlled trials (RCTs) with the Cochrane risk of bias tool (2.0), and in observational studies with the ROBINS-I tool. Results of the risk of bias assessments can be found alongside the evidence table for each study (<a href="#niceng9er1.appd.et1">Appendices D.1</a> and <a href="#niceng9er1.appd.et2">D.2</a>). Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) was used to present results and to evaluate the quality of evidence by outcomes (see <a href="#niceng9er1.appe">Appendix E</a>). GRADE assessment domains include risk of bias, inconsistency, indirectness, and imprecision. Outcomes start at High, for example, for a randomised controlled trial, and can be marked down 1 or 2 levels for each domain through to Moderate, Low and Very Low evidence. Observational studies start at Low. Each of the evidence quality ratings are explained below:
<ul class="simple-list"><li class="half_rhythm"><div>High &#x02013; Further research is very unlikely to change our confidence in the estimate of effect.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Moderate &#x02013; Further research is likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and may change the estimate.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Low &#x02013; Further research is very likely to have an important impact on our confidence in the estimate of effect and is likely to change the estimate.</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Very low &#x02013; Any estimate of effect is very uncertain.</div></li></ul></p><p>No evidence pooling was done for this review, therefore the evidence for each outcome in GRADE is provided by 1 study only.</p><p>There were no published minimally important differences (MIDs) available, so imprecision was graded based on default thresholds of 0.7 and 1.25 for risk ratios and hazard ratios. If either confidence interval crosses a threshold, the evidence is downgraded by 1 level.

Summary of the effectiveness evidence</h4><p>There were 2 studies relevant to the review protocol: a Health Technology Assessment (HTA) randomised controlled trial that compared management to a target of 90% oxygen saturation to the level of 94% oxygen saturation recommended at the time by the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (<a href="https://www.sign.ac.uk/our-guidelines/bronchiolitis-in-children/" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">SIGN 91, 2006</a>); and a prospective observational study that compared 90% to 92% oxygen saturation as a threshold for admission.</p><p>The HTA reported 10 outcomes relevant to the review protocol.</p><p>The primary outcome of the HTA (time to cough resolution) was not included in the review protocol. However the HTA was an equivalence trial designed around cough resolution, therefore in a deviation from the protocol, evidence on cough was included in the current review and presented to the committee to allow them to decide on its relevance to the discussion around changes to oxygen saturation thresholds.</p><p>In GRADE, evidence quality ranged from high to low quality across the outcomes. The only domain where outcomes were marked down was imprecision, since the outcomes were considered to have a low risk of bias as the study is directly applicable to the review question, and could not be downgraded for inconsistency because it was not included in a meta-analysis. The committee believed that although the HTA used a comparator saturation threshold of 94% (rather than 92% which was the threshold recommended in the 2015 version of the guideline), it should not be marked down for indirectness.</p><p>For the results below, lower values indicate a better outcome for the 90% intervention arm unless otherwise stated.</p><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figniceng9er1tab3"><a href="/books/NBK573296/table/niceng9er1.tab3/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table" class="img_link icnblk_img figpopup" rid-figpopup="figniceng9er1tab3" rid-ob="figobniceng9er1tab3"><img class="small-thumb" src="/books/NBK573296/table/niceng9er1.tab3/?report=thumb" src-large="/books/NBK573296/table/niceng9er1.tab3/?report=previmg" alt="Image " /></a><div class="icnblk_cntnt"><h4 id="niceng9er1.tab3"><a href="/books/NBK573296/table/niceng9er1.tab3/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobniceng9er1tab3">Table</a></h4><p class="float-caption no_bottom_margin">90% arm: 276 94% arm: 283</p></div></div><p>The prospective observational study reported 1 outcome relevant to the protocol &#x02013; length of stay.

Economic model</h5><p>No economic modelling was undertaken for this review question, as it was decided the published economic evidence was sufficient for decision making.</p></div></div><div id="niceng9er1.s1.1.8"><h4>1.1.8. The committee&#x02019;s discussion and interpretation of the evidence</h4><div id="niceng9er1.s1.1.8.1"><h5>1.1.8.1. The outcomes that matter most</h5><p>The committee noted that once bronchiolitis is resolved there are usually no long-term consequences, and the key objective in bronchiolitis management is to ensure that babies and children have full resolution without complications.</p><p>The critical outcomes are change in respiratory rate, change in oxygen saturation, reported feeding difficulty, readmission rate, length of stay, and the need for high flow humidified oxygen, CPAP or mechanical ventilation. Length of stay and readmission rate were noted as contributing to improved flow of patients through the system.</p><p>The committee noted that the significantly reduced number of readmissions to hospital within 28 days in the 90% saturation threshold arm of the HTA appeared to be clinically implausible. The study investigators suggested that this may be linked to a shorter hospital stay and consequently a lower risk of oxygen toxicity (though the committee felt this was unlikely to be an issue in readmissions up to 28 days) or less exposure to nosocomial infections.</p><p>The HTA reported an outcome of return to feeding at 75% of normal. However, data for this outcome were not included in the guideline update because the definition of this outcome was not well reported, and hence its relevance to the &#x02018;reported feeding difficulty&#x02019; outcome of the review protocol was uncertain.</p><p>Important outcomes are dehydration, work of breathing, adverse events (including mortality), change in oxygen saturation, change in arterial or capillary blood carbon dioxide levels, change in disease severity score, change in respiratory rate, and need for feeding support (either tube feeding or intravenous fluids). Mortality was considered an important rather than a critical outcome because bronchiolitis has a relatively low mortality rate. However, the committee noted that the 2 deaths reported in the HTA were events that they did not expect to have occurred in a low-risk population (i.e. babies and children aged 6 weeks to 1 year without certain comorbidities) and that ordinarily no baby or child should die from this condition.</p><p>Although the primary outcome of the HTA was cough resolution, the committee stated that this was an unusual choice and was not a key clinical concern, therefore cough resolution was not considered a critical or important outcome. However, they acknowledged that cough resolution was an important factor for parents and carers, which could trigger reattendance if it is causing concern, and lay members recalled from experience that cough can linger for several weeks and prevent babies from sleeping. Lay members noted that overall, cough was not the key concern for them, and breathing difficulties were the more worrying issue.</p><p>The committee also noted that some babies in hospital improve on very little oxygen to reach the target saturation threshold, but when asleep saturation can suddenly dip which may cause a delay to discharge in a baby or child who is otherwise recovering.</p></div><div id="niceng9er1.s1.1.8.2"><h5>1.1.8.2. The quality of the evidence</h5><p>Two studies were included in the update.</p><p>A Health Technology Assessment (HTA) study involving an RCT was assessed as low risk of bias. Overall, the RCT was well conducted and reported, with minor issues relating to the reporting of the definition of cough resolution and return to normal feeding. The overall outcome quality in the HTA ranged from high to low. The only domain in which outcomes were marked down was imprecision, since the outcomes were considered to have a low risk of bias as the study is directly applicable to the review question, and could not be downgraded for inconsistency because it was not included in a meta-analysis.</p><p>A prospective observational study was assessed as serious risk of bias. A key issue was that it compared 2 different groups of centres and baseline characteristics were not reported or adjusted for, therefore population and use of co-interventions were unlikely to be balanced across the 2 groups. It reported only 1 outcome relevant to the protocol which was rated as very low quality due to serious risk of bias of the study.</p><p>The committee felt the population of the HTA (babies aged 6 weeks to 12 months with bronchiolitis, newly admitted to hospital in the UK) was directly applicable to the review question, and that an upper age limit of 12 months was appropriate to exclude other wheezing phenotypes more common in older babies which could complicate the evidence. The committee did however note that that the study excluded babies with certain comorbidities that made them a higher risk for a more serious case of bronchiolitis and so the included population was at lower risk than is typically seen in hospital.</p><p>The intervention of the HTA did not align exactly with the existing NICE recommendation on oxygen saturation thresholds of 92%, instead comparing 90% with 94% saturation thresholds. The committee agreed that this was still of relevance to the review question, but noted that if a threshold of 92% had been used in the HTA then differences between the intervention arms may have been slightly attenuated.</p><p>The committee discussed in detail the relevance of the HTA to the 4 distinct domains of the review question: referral, admission, management and discharge. They agreed that the HTA was directly relevant to management and discharge, of some relevance to admission (because the babies in the study were being assessed in an emergency department and therefore undergoing a period of observation), but of no relevance to referral. The committee were therefore able to transpose the findings of the HTA directly to recommendations on management and discharge, and cautiously to recommendations on admission. The HTA was not considered in the committee&#x02019;s discussion of recommendations on referral.</p><p>The committee judged the observational study to be of very low quality because of its observational study design and very serious risk of bias for evaluating an intervention. Although it was of relevance to the admission domain of the review question, the committee did not consider it during their discussion of recommendations on admission.</p></div><div id="niceng9er1.s1.1.8.3"><h5>1.1.8.3. Benefits and harms</h5><div id="niceng9er1.s1.1.8.3.1"><h5>Referral</h5><p>The committee noted that there was no evidence identified by the review that covered referral. However, as the committee had agreed based on the evidence to amend the recommendations for oxygen saturation for admission, management and discharge to a 90% threshold, some babies and children could theoretically get stuck within the care pathway. A scenario could arise where a child discharged with an oxygen saturation of 91% was re-referred immediately back to hospital if the discharge threshold were lowered to 90% oxygen saturation, while the referral threshold remained at 92%. To overcome this, they decided to move the oxygen saturation referral criterion so that it no could no longer trigger an immediate referral to emergency care in the absence of other indications, but would instead be a criterion which healthcare professionals could use to consider a non-immediate referral.</p><p>The committee considered whether the change in other recommendations would mean babies and children would be re-referred immediately after being discharged. They considered whether this was a possibility in clinical practice, rather than only a problem with pathway logic. The committee noted that it was unlikely for a child to be brought back to primary care by parents unless they also had other symptoms. By the time children are discharged from hospital, the child&#x02019;s status is improving, and their oxygen saturation is unlikely to decrease. When a child needs referring based on other symptoms, oxygen saturation is made redundant by the other presenting symptoms. However, the committee brought up that some children are visited by community nurses who do take oxygen saturation measurements. By leaving the recommendation as immediate referral based on 92% oxygen saturation, this could mean the child is unnecessarily re-referred by healthcare professionals following the guidance.</p><p>To stop this loop, the committee assessed how oxygen saturation should be used in decision making. They indicated that the current recommendation places too much emphasis on the importance of oxygen saturation. Therefore, the committee decided to remove the oxygen saturation criterion from the immediate referral recommendation and place it with the criteria that healthcare professionals should use to consider non-immediate referral to hospital. This will allow healthcare professionals to exercise more clinical judgement for individual cases concerning oxygen saturation. The committee agreed that the other criteria for immediate referral were more serious and did require an immediate referral into hospital. They did not think that an oxygen saturation of below 92% alone was sufficient for immediate referral.</p><p>In addition, the committee noted that, in some cases, children may not be referred to hospital when they are displaying other symptoms listed needing immediate referral because their oxygen saturation is above the threshold for immediate referral, even if other referral criteria are present. Moving the oxygen saturation threshold to the list of criteria where a hospital referral can be considered puts less emphasis on oxygen saturation alone as the reason for referral. The committee also wanted the guideline to demonstrate that other criteria are more clinically useful than oxygen saturation.</p><p>The committee did not want to remove the oxygen saturation criterion completely or to change the oxygen saturation threshold. They said that oxygen saturation for young children might sometimes be less reliably measured in primary care, particularly if centres do not have the correct probes for children and babies. This could mean people are given a false sense of security if a reading is above the threshold for referral. The committee agreed that healthcare professionals in primary care were not able to make assessments on bronchiolitis based on oxygen saturation alone. They said that at this stage it is better to be cautious and allow specialists to make judgements since low oxygen saturation can also indicate other conditions. They also stated that oxygen saturations below 92% are likely to co-present with other symptoms.</p></div><div id="niceng9er1.s1.1.8.3.2"><h5>Admission</h5><p>The committee considered both studies in the review for this recommendation. Even though the prospective observational study was directly applicable to admission, the committee did not feel that the evidence was of a sufficiently high quality to influence their decision making. They considered that the RCT evidence, which assessed discharge criteria, could be applied to this part of the pathway because children are assessed in the same departments as they were treated in in the trial. Therefore, their considerations come from the RCT evidence, their own experiences, with an additional motivation to ensure a logical and consistent approach with the recommendations for management and discharge.</p><p>The committee agreed that the oxygen saturation threshold for admission could be lowered to 90% for children who were not otherwise considered to be at high risk of a serious case of bronchiolitis due to their age or any co-existing health conditions. The recommendations currently advise that a &#x02018;persistent&#x02019; oxygen saturation of concern indicates admission. From their experience, when children are assessed they can remain in units for a few hours before an admission decision is made. Within this time oxygen saturation can be monitored persistently, but other symptoms would also be observed. If the child does not present any other symptoms listed in recommendation 1.3.2 during assessment, the committee were satisfied that a child with oxygen saturations over 90% could safely not be admitted. However, the committee agreed it would be safer to retain the threshold of 92% for children at higher risk (i.e. babies under 6 weeks or babies and children of any age with underlying health conditions), as these were not represented in the evidence discussed.</p><p>The committee noted that the stage at which the child is in the disease course will affect how healthcare professionals should interpret oxygen saturation. The condition of a child at day 1 or 2 with lower oxygen saturation should be treated with more caution than a child with the same oxygen saturation threshold at day 4 or 5. The committee noted the importance of identifying whether the child is in the worsening stage or the improving stage of the illness. This should influence how the healthcare professionals interpret oxygen saturation and other symptoms.</p><p>The committee were satisfied that recommendation 1.6.1 provided enough information to support parents and carers when children were not admitted. This was another safety measure that was seen as necessary as parents and carers are often moved between GP surgeries, walk-in centres and A&#x00026;E. As recommendation 1.6.1 provides additional information that healthcare professionals should provide to parents and carers (recognising red flag symptoms; that people should not smoke in the child&#x02019;s home because it increases the risk of more severe symptoms in bronchiolitis; how to get immediate help from an appropriate professional if any red flag symptoms develop; arrangements for follow-up if necessary) the committee said children who do not meet the admission criteria can be more safely released home.</p><p>On balance, the committee were assured that the oxygen saturation threshold could be safely lowered in the recommendations for admission. The committee stressed the importance of taking other symptoms into account and not using oxygen saturation in isolation to make decisions.</p></div><div id="niceng9er1.s1.1.8.3.3"><h5>Management</h5><p>The committee considered the RCT evidence to be directly applicable to this recommendation. They also took into account the resource burden of delivering oxygen supplementation and whether the child is in a worsening or improving phase of illness.</p><p>The evidence from the RCT showed that the need for supplemental oxygen at a threshold of 90% was significantly lower than with a 94% threshold. The previous committee made a recommendation for 92% based on consensus. As there is now RCT evidence that demonstrates a lower need for supplemental oxygen at lower thresholds the committee agreed to adjust the threshold in line with the evidence. In addition, this may give healthcare professionals flexibility to manage resources during periods of high demand such as localised outbreaks of respiratory conditions.</p><p>They were also reassured by knowing that oxygen is not considered alone during decision making. Assessments on heart function, feeding, and percussion, for example, are used alongside oxygen saturation to provide a fuller picture of the child&#x02019;s status. Additionally, oxygen supplementation is not the only treatment for low oxygen saturation and these treatments may be indicated by other symptoms. As changing oxygen saturation affects only one part of the whole picture, the committee were satisfied that it was a safe decision.</p><p>The committee were concerned that the trial had excluded high-risk children (i.e. babies under 6 weeks or with underlying health conditions) and therefore retained the previous threshold of 92% oxygen saturation for children in this group. There are also other recommendations in the Management of bronchiolitis section of the guideline provide advice for managing children in this group.</p></div><div id="niceng9er1.s1.1.8.3.4"><h5>Discharge</h5><p>The committee considered the RCT in this review to be directly applicable to discharge. The outcomes were either equivalent across the two groups or indicated a benefit of a lower oxygen saturation discharge threshold. As the previously recommended 92% was based on committee consensus, the committee decided that the evidence presented for a threshold of 90% superseded committee consensus in children who were not considered to be at high risk based on age or co-existing conditions. For these children, the previous threshold of 92% was retained.</p><p>The RCT was an equivalence trial, designed to demonstrate that there should be no difference in outcomes between treatment arms. However, there were 2 outcomes relating to discharge where the lower oxygen threshold of 90% was statistically associated with a more favourable result. The first was time to actual discharge in hours, which was reduced for the modified oximeter group, and which the committee said was reflective of clinical practice. This is because children who had higher oxygen saturation levels than the oximeter was showing would have fewer symptoms than children whose oxygen saturations were lower. This was reassuring for the committee as it showed a benefit for reducing the threshold by improving patient flow and allowing children to go home earlier if they are well enough. Additionally, the observational study was aligned with the findings of the RCT in that length of stay was significantly lower with a 90% versus a 92% saturation threshold for admission.</p><p>The committee felt this demonstrates that other factors are taken into account when healthcare professionals are decision making. They were confident that the other criteria in the discharge recommendation (clinical stability and adequate intake of oral fluids), would be a good barrier to prevent unwell children from being discharged. In addition, the committee noted that this may allow children who are well or consistently improving, but only have a slightly lower oxygen saturation measure than the current threshold to return home and avoid an unnecessarily prolonged stay. The committee noted that there remained a need to make healthcare professionals aware of factors that may mean discharge is not suitable (for example, social circumstances, the skill and confidence of the parent or carer in looking after a child with bronchiolitis at home, confidence in the parent or carer being able to spot red flag symptoms, distance to healthcare in case of deterioration) and that this awareness would provide a safety net.</p><p>The second outcome relevant to discharge that was significantly different between the trial arms was readmission to hospital within 28 days, with fewer readmissions in the 90% versus the 94% saturation threshold group. However, the trial authors explained this unexpected result by children not picking up infections by being in the hospital for a shorter duration, and also considered the potential role of oxygen toxicity caused by treatment during the initial admission, which may lead to readmission at a later date. The committee commented on this finding by saying it was biologically implausible and therefore potentially a chance finding.</p></div></div><div id="niceng9er1.s1.1.8.4"><h5>1.1.8.4. Cost effectiveness and resource use</h5><p>The economic analysis conducted alongside the Cunningham HTA report found a reduction in both within-hospital and follow-up costs with a 90% oxygen saturation target compared to a 94% target. The committee were not convinced by the finding around follow-up costs as they were not clear of the mechanism by which the use of a lower saturation target would result in lower follow-up costs but did agree the reductions in within hospital costs matched their expectations, due to both reduced oxygen therapy and reduced length of stay with a lower target. The committee agreed the study showed the lower target was highly likely to be both cost-saving and cost-effective. The committee noted this study was directly applicable to the recommendations on management and discharge, and therefore reductions in costs would be expected from the implementation of those recommendations.</p><p>The economic analysis in the HTA was less directly applicable to the recommendations around referral and admission. The committee were unsure how many fewer people would be admitted based on a lowering of the oxygen saturation threshold for admission, as some people not meeting the lower target would still be admitted for other reasons (for example, based on their symptoms). However, they agreed this recommendation could not increase costs, as it would lead to either very similar or a reduced number of people being admitted but could not lead to an increase.</p></div><div id="niceng9er1.s1.1.8.5"><h5>1.1.8.5. Other factors the committee took into account</h5><p>In consideration of issues identified in the equality impact assessment, the committee acknowledged emerging reports in other areas of clinical care that there may be variation in the accuracy of pulse oximetry for some patients due to variations in skin tone. The committee stated that they were not presented with any evidence during this update which could lead to a specific recommendation on this topic. They agreed that this issue sits outside the scope of this update and is not unique to the diagnosis and management of bronchiolitis, and therefore no research recommendation was made. The NHS Race and Health Observatory published a rapid review of the evidence in this area in March 2021. NICE will monitor for formal guidance from NHS England and NHS Improvement in this area, and update this guideline further as needed.</p><p>The committee noted that socioeconomic status and geographical factors may influence the ability of people to travel to hospital by private transport. They said that getting to hospital urgently if a child&#x02019;s health is deteriorating is an important factor to consider when discharging children. They were reassured that recommendation 1.6.1 covered this adequately by noting &#x02018;distance to healthcare in case of deterioration&#x02019; is a factor to take into account when discharging.</p><p>The committee noted from their experience some issues with implementation of existing recommendations. Some children may not be referred to hospital when they present with symptoms that are recommended for immediate referral because their oxygen saturations are above 92%. The committee hoped that the changes to recommendations for admission, which reduce the importance of oxygen saturation, will improve care in this area.</p><p>The committee noted that there was no direct evidence to guide referral to hospital based on oxygen saturation thresholds. The need for a research recommendation in this area was discussed, but it was felt that there could be ethical concerns with denying children referral to hospital on the basis of an oxygen saturation reading.</p></div></div><div id="niceng9er1.s1.1.rl.r1"><h4>1.1.9.
