a

Post hoc adjustment was made for stratification at randomization for age group, with site as a random effect.

b

Defined as either an unscheduled visit to any health care facility for bronchiolitis within 72 hours of ED discharge or the use of additional suctioning devices for perceived feeding and/or breathing problems.

c

This was a sensitivity analysis with patients using the assigned device only.
