Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Respiratory Medicine
  • Clinical Phenotyping

Background:

  • Preschool wheezing is a frequent condition in children.
  • Determining the prognosis for preschool wheezing is challenging.
  • This condition is associated with significant morbidity and healthcare resource utilization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical presentation, etiologies, and triggers of preschool wheezing.
  • To identify historical, hereditary, and laboratory markers for diagnosis and management.
  • To aid clinicians in differentiating preschool wheezing phenotypes for tailored care.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical presentations.
  • Analysis of potential etiologies and triggers.
  • Evaluation of diagnostic and management markers.

Main Results:

  • Preschool wheezing may present as at least three distinct phenotypes.
  • Each phenotype has unique clinical significance and therapeutic implications.
  • Accurate phenotype identification guides family education, therapy, and prognosis.

Conclusions:

  • Differentiating preschool wheezing phenotypes is crucial for optimal patient management.
  • Understanding phenotypes improves therapeutic strategies and prognostic accuracy.
  • This review provides a framework for diagnosing and managing preschool wheezing.
