In a 2016 clinical practice guideline, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) created and introduced the term brief resolved unexplained event (BRUE). This guideline defined specific criteria for diagnosis of BRUE and provided a set of guidelines for evaluation of these infants as well as characteristics that indicate a BRUE will have a low risk for a repeat event or a serious underlying disorder. This issue reviews the definition and broad differential diagnosis of a BRUE, highlights the criteria for risk stratification of infants who experience a BRUE, summarizes the management recommendations for patients with a lower-risk BRUE, and examines the available literature that evaluates the impact of the AAP guidelines in the years since its publication.
