Abstract
We investigated whether pediatric patients with overweight and obesity are more likely to have dyspnea compared with those who are non-overweight. We collected de-identified data from TriNetX, a global federated multicenter research database, using both the UT Southwestern Medical Center and multinational Research Networks. Our analysis focused on patients aged 8–12 years. We identified overweight and obesity using ICD-10-CM codes E66 and dyspnea using code R06.0. Patients with overweight and obesity had a significantly higher risk of dyspnea compared with those who were non-overweight. This association was observed in both the UT Southwestern Network (risk ratio: 1.81, p < 0.001) and the Research Network (risk ratio: 2.70, p < 0.001). Furthermore, within the UT Southwestern Network, the risk was found to be higher in females compared with males (risk ratio: 2.17 vs. 1.67). These results have significant clinical implications, suggesting that clinicians should consider overweight and obesity as independent risk factors for dyspnea in pediatric patients after excluding other possible contributing factors.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
