Optimum predictors of childhood asthma: persistent wheeze or the Asthma Predictive Index?
BACKGROUND The Asthma Predictive Index (API) and persistent wheezing phenotypes are associated with childhood asthma, but previous studies have not assessed their ability to predict objectively confirmed asthma. OBJECTIVE To determine whether the University of Cincinnati API Index (ucAPI) and/or persistent wheezing at age 3 can accurately predict objectively confirmed asthma at age 7. METHO...

متن کاملThe Effect of Maternal Age on Childhood Asthma
Some studies indicate that children born to younger mothers are at a higher risk of wheezing and asthma. To investigate the maternal age associated with asthma in children, a case-control study on 310 asthmatic and 310 non-asthmatic children aged 3 to 4 years was organized during a one-year period. A questionnaire was used to obtain information about the child’s personal susceptibility factor...
