Insights
Pediatric asthma affects many children, with most attacks occurring in winter. Standardized management and education can reduce asthma-related illness in children.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Pulmonology
- Public Health
- Epidemiology
Context:
- Childhood asthma is a prevalent chronic respiratory disease globally.
- It significantly contributes to healthcare utilization, including emergency visits and hospitalizations.
- Increasing worldwide prevalence highlights its public health importance.
Purpose:
- To prospectively study the characteristics and triggers of asthma exacerbations in children.
- To analyze demographic data, age of onset, and seasonal patterns of asthma attacks.
- To evaluate the management approach for pediatric asthma patients.
Summary:
- A one-year prospective study identified 105 pediatric asthma patients.
- The most frequent age group was 2-5 years, with a median age of first attack between 1-2 years.
- December saw the highest frequency of attacks (21.90%), with smoke and humidity as primary triggers. All patients received nebulized beta-2 mimetics.
Impact:
- Findings underscore the need for targeted interventions during peak seasons like December.
- Identifying key triggers such as smoke and humidity can inform preventative strategies.
- Implementing standardized management protocols and patient education is crucial for reducing childhood asthma morbidity.
Introduction:
Asthma is the most common chronic disease of children. It is a leading cause of emergency room visits, hospitalization and school absenteeism. Asthma is a real public health problem. The prevalence of this disease is increasing worldwide.
Patients And Method:
We had conducted a prospective study, among children with asthma over a period of one year, from January 2018 to December 2018.
Results:
We counted 105 asthmatic patients for a total of 14344 consultations, or a frequency of 0,73%. The sex ratio was 1,9, the age group 2-5 years was the most frequent, (52%), the age of the first attack was generally between 1 and 2 years, ( 75,24%). We observed that almost 22% of the attacks occurred in December (21,90%). Smoke and humidity were the main triggers. All the patients had benefited from nebulization with B 2 mimetics.
Conclusion:
Education of asthmatic children, their families and the establishment of standard management protocols could significantly reduce asthma-related morbidity in our countries.
