A cold air challenge can help diagnose asthma in children. While specific, it has low sensitivity and positive predictive value for identifying asthma in schoolchildren.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Pulmonology
  • Respiratory Medicine
  • Clinical Diagnostics

Context:

  • Asthma diagnosis in children relies on various methods.
  • Parental questionnaires are common for initial assessment.
  • Objective testing is crucial for confirming diagnoses.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a cold air challenge test for asthma in schoolchildren.
  • To compare cold air challenge results with doctor diagnoses reported by parental questionnaires.

Summary:

  • The study assessed 9403 schoolchildren aged 9-11 years for asthma prevalence using parental questionnaires.
  • A cold air challenge was administered to 7248 children to measure bronchial hyperresponsiveness.
  • The cold air challenge demonstrated high specificity (92.5%) and negative predictive value (98%) but low sensitivity (28.7%) and positive predictive value (9.1%) for doctor-diagnosed asthma.

Impact:

  • Highlights the limitations of cold air challenges as a standalone diagnostic tool for childhood asthma.
  • Suggests that while useful for ruling out asthma, it may miss many cases.
  • Informs clinical practice regarding the interpretation of bronchial hyperresponsiveness tests in pediatric populations.
