We evaluated interventions, management, and outcomes, including transports and admissions, before (April 2019 to February 2020) and after (April 2020 to February 2021) the start of the pandemic and stay-at-home mandates in March 2020. We also characterized longitudinal trends in transports and hospital admissions for BRUE infants between July 2017 and February 2021.
