Key Points Question Is serum albumin level associated with the risk of apnea in infants with bronchiolitis? Findings In this secondary analysis of a cohort of 1016 infants hospitalized for bronchiolitis, low serum albumin was statistically significantly associated with a higher risk of apnea during the hospitalization. This association was independent of known apnea risk factors (younger age, premature birth, and weight-for-age z score). Meaning Albumin levels may have a role in identifying apnea in bronchiolitis.
