Insights

Allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma frequently occur together in children. This meta-analysis found a high comorbidity rate, with asthma incidence in AR children being 35.01% in China and 31.59% globally.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Allergology
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma share common pathogenic mechanisms in children.
  • Limited large-scale data exists on the comorbidity of AR and asthma in pediatric populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a meta-analysis to determine the prevalence of asthma in children diagnosed with allergic rhinitis.
  • To investigate the comorbidity rates of asthma among children with AR.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was performed across multiple databases including PubMed, Science, Springer, Elsevier, Embase, BMJ Journals, Wanfang data, VIP, CBM, and CNKI.
  • Fifteen cross-sectional studies were identified and included in the meta-analysis.
  • Pooled prevalence estimates were calculated using R software (version 3.2.3).

Main Results:

  • The meta-analysis included fifteen cross-sectional studies.
  • The pooled incidence of asthma in children with AR was 35.01% (95% CI: 32.32%-37.70%) in China.
  • The pooled incidence of asthma in children with AR was 31.59% (95% CI: 28.02%-35.16%) in international studies.

Conclusions:

  • There is a high rate of comorbidity between allergic rhinitis and asthma in children.
  • The incidence of asthma in children with AR is higher in China compared to international data.

Asthma-I: Introduction

Asthma is a chronic respiratory ailment that requires careful management due to its varying symptoms and influencing factors. It is characterized by airway inflammation, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and reversible airflow obstruction, leading to symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. The symptom frequency and intensity may vary considerably over time. It is also linked to immune system responses to allergens and irritants, highlighting the complex...

Allergic Drug Reactions

Allergic reactions related to drugs are hypersensitivity responses driven by the immune system and bear no connection to the drug's therapeutic action. While drugs in isolation do not trigger an immune response, they can interact with endogenous proteins to form antigens. These antigens stimulate lymphocytes to produce antibodies. IgE-type antibodies attach themselves to mast cells. Upon subsequent exposure to the same stimulus, the antigen-antibody interaction is initiated, unleashing...

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management01:20

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management

Asthma is a chronic pulmonary condition involving inflammation of the airways, hyper-reactivity, and reversible obstruction of the airways. This condition can significantly impact a person's quality of life, making breathing difficult and leading to distressing symptoms.
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.
