Abstract

This letter responds to the article "The Effect of Iron Deficiency Anemia on Emergency Department Admission in Asthmatic Children" by Selmanoglu et al. highlighting important limitations in their findings. The authors' retrospective study identified a significant association between iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and increased emergency department admissions for asthma exacerbations in asthmatic children. However, the letter emphasizes the need to consider potential confounding factors such as socioeconomic status and nutritional intake, which may influence both anemia and asthma severity. Additionally, the absence of a control group limits the ability to generalize the findings beyond asthmatic children. There is a need for future research to explore the impact of iron supplementation on asthma control and overall health outcomes, advocating for tailored management strategies in this vulnerable population.

哮喘儿童缺铁性贫血。

这封信回应了Selmanoglu等人的文章“缺铁性贫血对哮喘儿童急诊入院的影响”，强调了他们研究结果的重要局限性。作者的回顾性研究确定了缺铁性贫血（IDA）与哮喘儿童哮喘加重急诊入院率增加之间的显著关联。然而，信中强调需要考虑潜在的混杂因素，如社会经济地位和营养摄入，这可能会影响贫血和哮喘的严重程度。此外，缺乏对照组限制了将研究结果推广到哮喘儿童之外的能力。未来的研究需要探索补铁对哮喘控制和整体健康结果的影响，并倡导针对这一弱势群体的量身定制的管理策略。

期刊介绍： Pediatric Pulmonology (PPUL) is the foremost global journal studying the respiratory system in disease and in health as it develops from intrauterine life though adolescence to adulthood. Combining explicit and informative analysis of clinical as well as basic scientific research, PPUL provides a look at the many facets of respiratory system disorders in infants and children, ranging from pathological anatomy, developmental issues, and pathophysiology to infectious disease, asthma, cystic fibrosis, and airborne toxins. Focused attention is given to the reporting of diagnostic and therapeutic methods for neonates, preschool children, and adolescents, the enduring effects of childhood respiratory diseases, and newly described infectious diseases. PPUL concentrates on subject matters of crucial interest to specialists preparing for the Pediatric Subspecialty Examinations in the United States and other countries. With its attentive coverage and extensive clinical data, this journal is a principle source for pediatricians in practice and in training and a must have for all pediatric pulmonologists.
