“…Male gender was strongly associated with bronchiolitis. Similar findings were obtained in studies that looked at childhood asthma and genetic factors and, male gender [2,36]. These findings support the argument that, among young children, the distinction between asthma and bronchiolitis is not easily discernible [13].…”

BackgroundAsthma is the most common chronic childhood illness, with rapidly increasing prevalence in low-income countries. Among young children, asthma is often under-diagnosed.We investigated the factors associated with asthma among under-fives presenting with acute respiratory symptoms at Mulago hospital, Uganda.MethodsA hospital-based cross sectional study of 614 children with cough and/or difficult breathing, and fast breathing, was conducted between August 2011 and June 2012. A questionnaire focusing on clinical history of the child was administered to the caretakers. A physical examination and, laboratory and radiological investigations were done. Asthma was defined according to GINA (Global Initiative for Asthma) guidelines which were modified by excluding the symptom of “chest tightness”, spirometry/peak expiratory flow measurements and by adding chest x-ray findings to distinguish asthma from pneumonia. A panel of three paediatricians reviewed the participants’ case reports and, guided by the study definitions, made a diagnosis of asthma or other. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was done to determine factors independently associated with asthma.ResultsOf the 614 children, 128 (20.8%) had asthma, 125 (20.4%) bronchiolitis, 167 (27.2%) bacterial pneumonia only, 163 (26.5%) viral pneumonia while 31 (5.1%) had other diagnoses including pulmonary tuberculosis. The majority (71.1%) of children with asthma were aged ≥ 12 months. Factors associated with asthma included maternal asthma (AOR 2.4, 95% CI 1.2, 4.6), a history of allergy in the patient (AOR 2.6, 95% CI 1.2, 5.4,), use of gas for cooking (AOR 3.8, 95% CI 1.2, 13.3), prematurity (AOR 9.3, 95% CI 1.2, 83.3) and high level of education of caretaker (AOR 9.1, 95% CI 1.1, 72.8).ConclusionMaternal asthma, a history of allergy in the patient, use of gas for cooking, prematurity and high level of education of caretaker were significantly associated with asthma. There is need for studies to explore the role of the above factors in development and exacerbation of childhood asthma to provide information that can be used to design strategies for asthma prevention and control.

ResumoIntrodução: A asma é a doença crônica mais comum da infância, caracterizada pela hiper-responsividade das vias aéreas inferiores e pela limitação variável ao fluxo aéreo. Objetivo: Determinar os fatores associados à qualidade de vida de crianças asmáticas em um ambulatório público especializado. Métodos: Foram coletados dados socioeconômicos familiares e biológicos de 77 crianças asmáticas entre 7 e 12 anos, no período de agosto e setembro de 2010, em um ambulatório público especializado em Maceió/AL. A avaliação da qualidade de vida foi realizada através do Paedriatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire -adaptado (PAQLQ-A). Para análise estatística utilizaram-se os testes do qui-quadrado e exato de Fisher (p ≤ 5%). Resultados: A idade média das crianças em anos foi de 9,31 (± 1,7). A maioria (60,8%) tinha uma renda familiar total de 1 a 2 salários mínimos, 67,5% possuíam asma do tipo leve. A qualidade de vida foi considerada ruim em 24,7%. A idade das crianças entre 7 e 9 anos e o sexo feminino apresentaram uma associação significativa com uma melhor qualidade de vida. A baixa renda familiar foi associada a uma pior qualidade de vida. Conclusão: Crianças asmáticas de níveis socioeconômicos mais baixos apresentam mais frequentemente uma pior qualidade de vida.Palavras-chave: qualidade de vida, asma, criança. AbstractIntroduction: Asthma is the most common childhood chronic disease characterized by lower airway hyperresponsiveness and variable airflow limitation. Objective: To determine factors associated with asthmatic children's quality of life in a specialized public outpatient service. Methods: Socioeconomic and biological data of 77 asthmatic children, from 7 to 12 years, between August and September 2010, in a specialized public outpatient service in Maceió, Alagoas were collected. The quality of life evaluation was performed using the Paedriatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire -adapted (PAQLQ--A). To statistical analysis the chi-square and Fisher exact tests (p ≤ 5%) were used. Results: The average age of children's was 9.31 years (± 1.7). The majority (60.8%) had a total household income of 1 to 2 minimum wages, and 67.5% had mild asthma. The quality of life was considered poor in 24.7%. The children's age from 7 to 9 years and female showed a meaningful association with a better quality of life. Low family income was associated with a poorer quality of life. Conclusion: Asthmatic children of lower socioeconomic status have more often a poorer quality of life.
