In Bogota, a high-altitude city, in infants admitted for viral bronchiolitis, the use of an SpO2 threshold of 85% to decide on hospital discharge when all other discharge criteria are met is dominant because it entails a greater probability of discharge to home at day 4 of the initial hospitalization and generates fewer costs than the use of an SpO2 threshold of 90%.
