    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Respiratory Medicine
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Wheezing is a common respiratory symptom in childhood.
    • Understanding its natural history, diagnosis, and treatment is crucial for effective management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the incidence, prevalence, natural history, diagnosis, and treatment of wheezing in children up to 21 years of age.
    • To analyze age- and sex-specific patterns of wheezing episodes.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of general practice records.
    • Study included 1058 children followed for the first 21 years of life.

    Main Results:

    • Boys were more likely to present with wheeze and recurrent episodes before age 7.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Later childhood and adolescence showed higher incidence in girls and significant remission rates in boys.
  • Asthmatic children and two-thirds of those with recurrent wheeze received bronchodilator treatment.

    • Conclusions:

    • Wheezing exhibits distinct age- and sex-specific epidemiological patterns throughout childhood and adolescence.
    • Treatment with bronchodilators was common for diagnosed asthma and recurrent wheeze.
