Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management01:20

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management

509
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.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric pulmonology
  • Epidemiology
  • Public health

Background:

  • Previous research indicated declining pediatric asthma hospitalizations in Finland (2005-2014) but a stable trend in Sweden.
  • National registers in Finland and Sweden provide comprehensive data on hospitalizations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze trends in pediatric asthma hospitalizations in Finland and Sweden from 2015 to 2020.
  • To compare the incidence of pediatric asthma hospitalizations between the two countries during this period.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Finland's National Hospital Discharge Register and Sweden's National Patient Register.
  • Analyzed national data covering all hospitalizations for pediatric asthma.

Main Results:

  • Between 2015 and 2019, pediatric asthma hospitalizations decreased by 36.7% in Finland and 39.9% in Sweden.
  • Hospitalization rates in both countries are converging.
  • In 2020, asthma hospitalizations dropped by over 40% in both nations, irrespective of COVID-19 restrictions.

Conclusions:

  • Pediatric asthma hospitalizations have shown a significant downward trend in both Finland and Sweden from 2015-2020.
  • The convergence of hospitalization rates suggests potential shared influencing factors.
  • The substantial decrease in 2020 warrants further investigation into its causes.
