OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to identify differences in length of stay and readmission in patients admitted with bronchiolitis based on preferred written language. A secondary aim was to assess adherence to providing written discharge instructions in patients' preferred language.
METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, we included 384 patients aged 0 to 2 years discharged from 2 children's hospitals with bronchiolitis from May 1, 2021, through April 30, 2022; patients were excluded for history of prematurity, complex chronic condition, or ICU stay during the study period. A manual chart review was performed to determine preferred written language and language of written discharge instructions.
RESULTS: Patients preferring a written language other than English had a longer length of stay compared with English-preferring patients (37.9 vs 34.3 hours, P < .05), but there was no significant difference in unplanned 7-day readmissions. All patients who preferred English and Spanish received written discharge instructions in their preferred written language; no patients with other preferred languages did.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients who preferred a written language other than English had a longer length of stay than those preferring English but there was no difference in 7-day readmissions, though power for readmissions was limited. The study also identified significant disparities in the provision of written discharge instructions in languages other than English and Spanish.
