“…Approximately 40-50% of infants have at least one wheezing episode in their first year of life, and these episodes are frequently repeated thereafter [1]. Wheeze is also one of the cardinal manifestations of asthma, and the relationship between infant wheeze and persistent asthma has attracted significant interest.…”

The aim of this study was to describe the time patterns of wheezing in both asthmatic and nonasthmatic children during the first 36 months of life, and to determine whether there are asthma-related breakpoints in the incidence of wheezing.Data from a historical cohort of children followed from birth to 6 years (SLAM cohort) were used. Wheezing episodes until 36 months and asthma at 6 years were both recorded by a doctor. Monthly mean incidence rate of wheezing and rate ratio were calculated. Joinpoint regression models were built to identify breakpoints in the risk of wheeze.Complete information was available for 3739 children. Wheezing in the first 36 months was more frequent in asthmatic than in nonasthmatic children (rate ratio 2.62, 95% CI 1.81-3.78). Differences were appreciable within the first months and increased steadily thereafter because of a persistently high rate in asthmatic children. No breakpoint in the rate ratio could be identified. Asthmatic children exhibited a onephase curve of incidence and nonasthmatic children exhibited a two-phase curve. However, children with allergic asthma also displayed a two-phase curve.There is no identifiable breakpoint during the first 36 months of life at which the incidence of wheezing in asthmatic children begins to stand out. @ERSpublications Increased wheezing in asthmatic children from birth; different progression patterns for allergic and nonallergic asthma

“…1 Wheeze during first year of life is a very frequent condition worldwide: 45% experience at least one episode and 23% experience recurrent wheeze. 2,3 Recurrent cough and wheeze in infancy are common problems in general paediatric outpatient clinics and practice. 4,5 Atopic conditions such as asthma, atopic eczema, allergic rhinitis are prevalent significantly among Bangladeshi children.…”

Objective: To determine epidemiological changes in recurrent wheezing among infants in Curitiba, Brazil. Results: Parents of 3,003 infants participated in phase I, and 22.6% of the infants had recurrent wheezing (≥ 3 episodes). After 5 years, 1,003 parents completed the same questionnaire during phase III, and 19.8% of the infants had recurrent wheezing (p = 0.1). There was a reduction in symptom severity (p = 0.001) and number of emergency department visits (p < 0.001), but not in number of hospitalizations (p = 0.12). Physician-diagnosed asthma was more frequent in phase III (p = 0.03). Conclusions:There were no changes in the prevalence of recurrent wheezing in infants, but there was an increase in physician-diagnosed asthma and a reduction in severity, which, however, did not affect the rate of hospitalizations.J Pediatr (Rio J). 2011;87(6):547-50: Asthma, infant, prevalence, wheezing. ResumoObjetivo: Verificar mudanças na epidemiologia da sibilância recorrente em lactentes de Curitiba (PR). Método: Estudo transversal com aplicação do questionário Estudio Conclusões:Não houve mudança na prevalência de sibilância recorrente em lactentes, mas ocorreu redução na gravidade, embora sem afetar o nível de internações e com aumento do diagnóstico de asma pelos clínicos.J Pediatr (Rio J). 2011;87(6):547-50: Asma, criança, prevalência, sibilo. Recurrent wheezing in infants: epidemiological changes IntroduçãoA prevalência de doenças alérgicas na população pediá-trica vem sendo amplamente estudada nos últimos anos. Na comparação das fases I e III do International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC), realizada com intervalo de pelo menos 5 anos entre as fases, houve aumento na prevalência de asma em escolares e adolescentes na maioria dos centros participantes 1 . Apesar de o Brasil apresentar altas prevalências de asma e de sintomas relacionados, na fase III do ISAAC, a maioria dos centros evidenciou redução desses índices, tanto em escolares quanto nos adolescentes, e os ní-1.
