The prognosis of obstructive bronchiolitis is poor compared with BOOP.[hopkinsarthritis.org]
Treatment is largely supportive and prognosis is mainly related to the underlying cause and to the severity of the initial insult. a Pediatric Pulmonary Section, Department of Pediatrics, Texas Children 's Hospital, USA b Baylor College of Medicine, Houston[journals.lww.com]
Once diagnosed, the prognosis is extremely unfavorable. BOS carries a mortality rate of approximately 40-60%, with a five year survival rate of 13%. Early on, BOS is symptomatically silent.[clinicaltrials.gov]
