“…Слід зазначити, що натепер не підлягає сумніву негативний вплив анемії щодо більш вираженої схильності дітей до РРІ [12,14,19]. Водночас відсутність підтвердження такого впливу серед обстежених пацієнтів може бути зумовлена як відносно невеликою кількістю дітей, у яких враховано результати автоматизованого клінічного дослідження крові -85 (27,1%), так і поодинокими випадками діагностованої при цьому анемії -8 (9,4%).…”

Purpose - to determine the influence degree of particular postnatal risk factors to the likelihood of the recurrent course of acute respiratory infections (ARI) in preschool children. Materials and methods. Three hundred and fourteen children (176 boys and 138 girls) aged 1 to 6 years old, undergoing inpatient treatment on ARI, were involved in the clinical study. The number of ARI episodes during their previous year of life, as well as the presence or absence of 19 potential postnatal risk factors associated with recurrent respiratory infections (RRI), were taken into account for the examined children. Additionally, two integral indices of ARI recurrence, namely the infection index (InI) and resistance index (InR), were calculated. The statistical processing of the primary digital data obtained was performed by IBM SPSS Statistics 28 licensed program. A сross-tabulation method was applied to compute the odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval (CI). Results. The difference between the age subgroups of the examined preschool children in the ARI episodes number during their previous year of life was demonstrated (H=11.243; p=0.047). First of all, the higher incidence of ARI was detected among the patients aged 36 to 71 months compared with those aged 12 to 35 months. Besides, the weak but significant correlation was revealed between six stratified age subgroups of children and their clinical diagnoses (φc=0.183; p=0.006). The studied integral indicators of the recurrent course of ARI (InI and InR) are inversely correlated with the majority of the postnatal risk factors considered, with the degree of the relationship strength being higher for InR than for InI. Conclusions. The majority of the potential RRI risk factors registered, namely 10 out of 19, separately increase the probability of children belonging to the group with more frequent ARI episodes. The most significant risk factors of RRI were as follows: 1) breastfeeding for 0-4 months after birth (OR=2.868; p<0.001; 95% CI: 1.681-4.895), 2) an older child in a family attending an organized childhood group (OR=2.814; p<0.001; 95% CI: 1.662-4.763); 3) second-hand smoke exposure (OR=2.537; p<0.001; 95% CI: 1.509-4.267). The prevalence of the studied RRI risk factors among the preschool children does not correlate with their significance in contributing to more frequent ARI episodes. The study was conducted in accordance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki. The study protocol was approved by the Local ethics committees of the institutions mentioned in the paper. An informed parental consent was obtained for the study in children. No conflict of interests was declared by the author.

“…the previous studies, the factors which related to the recurrent URTI are social economy status, exposure to cigarette smoke, rickets, immunization status, family history, older siblings in the family, nutritional status, breastfeeding, cardiovascular disease, and congenital disease in respiratory tract. [7][8][9][10][11][12] These risk factors may be used for recurrent infection control program in children. Therefore, this study aimed to understand the risk factors which influence the occurrence of recurrent upper respiratory infection in children aged 3-60 months at primary healthcare centers (Puskesmas) in Gresik.…”

Background: Acute respiratory tract infection (ARTI) is one of the causes of morbidity and mortality in children. This infection may happen in either the upper or lower respiratory tracts. It may also happen recurrently in some children according to the risk factors they have. This study aimed to understand the correlation between risk factors and recurrent upper respiratory tract infection in children aged 3-60 months at primary healthcare centers (Puskesmas) in Gresik.Methods: This study used an analytic observational study with cross-sectional design. The amount of sample used was 110 patients with upper respiratory infection from October 2019-April 2020 at Puskesmas Industri and Puskesmas Alun-Alun, Gresik. Data analysis was performed using chi-square test and logistic regression. The data were taken from medical records as well as questionnaires.Results: The result of bivariate analysis showed that asthma (p = 0.000), exposure to cigarette smoke (p = 0.045), healthy home status (p = 0.002), and the occupancy of the house (p = 0.019) had correlations with the occurrence of recurrent upper respiratory infection. Meanwhile, the multivariate analysis presented some variables which had significant correlation with recurrent upper respiratory tract infection such as asthma (p= 0.000), exposure to cigarette smoke (p = 0.012), and healthy home status (p = 0.001).Conclusion: There was a strong relationship between asthma, exposure to cigarette smoke, and healthy home status with the occurrence of recurrent upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) in children.

There are several varieties of respiratory diseases which mainly affect children between 0 and 5 years of age, not having a complete report of the behavior of each of these. This research seeks to conduct a study of the behavior of patterns in respiratory diseases of children in Peru through data mining, using data generated by the health sector, organizations and research between the years 2015 to 2019. This process was given by means of the K-Means clustering algorithm which allowed performing an analysis of this data identifying the patterns in a total of 10,000 Peruvian clinical records between the years mentioned, generating different behaviors. Through the grouping obtained in the clusters, it was obtained as a result that most of the cases in all the ages studied, they presented diseases with codes between the range of 000 and 060 approximately. This research was carried out in order to help health centers in Peru for further study, documentation and due decision-making, waiting for optimal prevention strategies regarding respiratory diseases.
