Core Tip	This study examined children hospitalized with acute lower respiratory tract infections and wheezing, identifying several independent risk factors for recurrent wheezing, including age 12-24 months, prematurity, allergic rhinitis, urban residence, eosinophilia, and prior lower respiratory tract infection. Notably, the median time to recurrence was 100 days, providing practical insight for optimizing follow-up timing and early intervention strategies.
