BRUE stands for Brief Resolved Unexplained Event and applies to which age group?

• A. Infants under 1 year
• B. Children 1-2 years
• C. Teens 12-18 years
• D. Adults

Answer: (A)

BRUE stands for Brief Resolved Unexplained Event, and it specifically describes events in infants younger than 1 year. These events are sudden and brief, resolve on their own, and remain unexplained after initial history and exam. BRUE was introduced to replace the older term ALTE and to avoid over-testing in healthy infants. So the applicable age group is infants under 1 year.
