“…Compared to students with no or controlled asthma, young people with uncontrolled asthma were either found to perform poorly academically[5,15] or showed no discernible difference in their performance. [16] One study of twins showed no difference in performance on school assessments at 15–16 years for the twin with asthma compared to the twin without asthma. [17] The influence of asthma on adolescents completing high school has been little studied.…”

Background There is inconclusive evidence of the effect of asthma on the academic performance of young people. This study aims to compare scholastic performance and high school completion of young people hospitalized with asthma compared to matched peers not hospitalized with asthma. Method A population‐based matched case‐comparison cohort study of young people aged ≤18 years hospitalized for asthma during 2005–2018 in New South Wales, Australia using linked birth, health, education and mortality records. The comparison cohort was matched on age, gender and residential postcode. Generalized linear mixed‐modelling examined risk of school performance below the national minimum standard (NMS) and generalized linear regression examined risk of not completing high school for young people hospitalized with asthma compared to matched peers. Results Young males hospitalized with asthma had a 13% and 15% higher risk of not achieving the NMS for numeracy (95%CI 1.04–1.22) and reading (95%CI 1.07–1.23), respectively, compared to peers. Young males hospitalized with asthma had a 51% (95%CI 1.22–1.86) higher risk of not completing year 10, and around a 20% higher risk of not completing year 11 (ARR: 1.25; 95%CI 1.15–1.36) or year 12 (ARR: 1.27; 95%CI 1.17–1.39) compared to peers. Young females hospitalized with asthma showed no difference in achieving numeracy or reading NMSs, but did have a 21% higher risk of not completing year 11 (95%CI 1.09–1.36) and a 33% higher risk of not completing year 12 (95%CI 1.19–1.49) compared to peers. Conclusions Educational attainment is worse for young people hospitalized with asthma compared to matched peers. Early intervention and strategies for better management of asthma symptoms may enhance academic performance for students.

“…Although the studies we outlined above found a negative impact on grades as a result of asthma, Bhagat et al (2018) found no significant link between the presence of mild asthma and moderate/severe asthma in children aged 4 to 10 and reading or maths skills (p=0.917 for reading and p=0.330 for maths). However, the authors did not compare these results with those of non-asthmatic children, so it is unclear if this difference would be significant.…”

“…however, there are differing data on whether, or to what extent, this link is statistically significant. There are also some limitations to these studies, such as skewed study populations (Jones, DeWalt et al 2017;Nilsson, Odling et al 2018;Ruijsbroek, Wijga et al 2015), studies conducted on specific populations and locations, making it difficult to generalise to other groups (Bhagat, Fagnano et al 2018;Jones, DeWalt et al 2017), some missing data (Ruijsbroek, Wijga et al 2015) and some data that is self-reported (Bhagat, Fagnano et al 2018).…”

“…Children with ADHD have been shown to be shy, insecure, and impulsive, have a low frustration tolerance, and a low level of perseveration due to fatigue.

Asthma is the most common chronic disease in childhood. The presence of this pathology in children leads to the appearance of different alterations (physical, psychological, social, etc.). Due to their high influence, the aim of this study is to understand these psychological and sociocultural determinants and their impact on the quality of life of asthmatic children. In order to determine the influence of these determinants on quality of life, a narrative review of 48 articles collected in different databases was carried out. Emotions are the most powerful precursor to producing an asthmatic attack. Anxiety and depression are the pathologies that appear frequently associated with childhood asthma, together with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. In addition, the personality of these children seems to be characterized by shyness and impulsivity, although exceptionally it has been associated with psychopathic behaviors, aggressiveness, and cases of psychosis. School performance is impaired and bullying occurs more frequently. Likewise, dysfunctional family relationships and lower socioeconomic status have a negative impact on the severity and management of asthma. In short, the quality of life of asthmatic children is lower due to the presence of the aforementioned psychological and sociocultural determinants.

Asthma symptoms, interactive physical play and behavioral and academic outcomes in urban children with persistent asthma

Abstract: Urban children with moderate-severe asthma partake in less IPP, which is associated with socio-emotional and academic outcomes. Further efforts are needed to optimize asthmatic children's participation in IPP.
