Asthma symptoms in early childhood – what happens then?

Abstract: Aim: To study the outcome in early adulthood for children with early asthma symptoms and to analyse the factors associated with current asthma. Methods: In a prospective study, we have re‐investigated 89/101 children who were hospitalized before the age of two years due to wheezing. The children were investigated using a questionnaire and allergy and bronchial hyper‐responsiveness tests at the age of 17–20 years and compared with age‐matched controls. Results: In the cohort, 43% had had asthma symptoms in the … Show more

“…Ongoing birth cohort studies should be able to provide information on the outcome in general populations during the 2010s. Considering more severe early wheeze, half of the children hospitalised with acute wheeze before the age of 2 yrs were symptom-free by the age of 5 yrs and 70% by 10 yrs, but only 57% by 17-20 yrs [44][45][46], illustrating the tendency for relapse during adolescence. Female sex, passive smoking during infancy and early sensitisation to allergens were risk factors for symptoms continuing into early adulthood, but type of virus and premature birth were not.…”

“…In Sweden, 30% of former bronchiolitis patients had asthma at 10 years of age and 43% at 17-18 years of age (Goksör et al, 2006). In China, the number ranges from 25-50%, which is much higher than the natural prevalence rate of asthma in healthy children (0.25-4.63%) (Chen, 2003).…”

“…A recent paper, performed in a small series of infants with early severe RSV bronchiolitis (46 children), showed that RSV infection was an important risk factor for the development of asthma, clinical allergy and sensitisation to common allergens at the age of 18 yrs [41]. In long-term follow-up studies [43,44], a higher asthma prevalence at late teenage in both RSV and non-RSV bronchiolitis infants was found, thus suggesting a possible host factor in developing future asthma. Moreover, the findings that reduced interferon production in early life predicts later recurrent wheezing [45,46], seems to confirm the role of host factor.…”

“…Many retrospective studies [38][39][40][41][42][43][44] have demonstrated that severe bronchiolitis, requiring hospitalisation, is an independent risk factor for subsequent wheeze, in terms of parent-reported wheeze [38], use of bronchodilators [39] and doctor-diagnosed asthma [40]. A recent paper, performed in a small series of infants with early severe RSV bronchiolitis (46 children), showed that RSV infection was an important risk factor for the development of asthma, clinical allergy and sensitisation to common allergens at the age of 18 yrs [41].…”
