Abstract

Multiple early life environmental exposures are thought to influence childhood asthma incidence. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in changes to air pollution levels and a marked disruption in the circulation of childhood respiratory viruses. Both air pollution and respiratory viruses have been implicated in the development of asthma and early childhood wheeze. Human behavior and daily routine practices, including family gatherings and daycare attendance, were impacted profoundly by the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated mitigation efforts put into place during this time. The changes to human behavior and social interactions that occurred during the pandemic have and will likely continue to impact chronic diseases, including the development of asthma. This rostrum explores how childhood asthma incidence might be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated public health mitigation measures. Recently completed and ongoing clinical trials being conducted in the infant and toddler population and assessing allergic outcomes may be well positioned to examine the impact of the pandemic on asthma incidence and time to asthma onset.

评估新冠肺炎大流行对儿童哮喘发病率的影响

多种早期生活环境暴露被认为影响儿童哮喘发病率。2019冠状病毒病大流行导致空气污染水平发生变化，儿童呼吸道病毒的传播明显中断。空气污染和呼吸道病毒都与哮喘和儿童早期喘息的发展有关。人类行为和日常习惯，包括家庭聚会和日托服务，都受到COVID-19大流行以及在此期间实施的相关缓解措施的深刻影响。大流行期间发生的人类行为和社会互动的变化已经并可能继续影响慢性疾病，包括哮喘的发展。本讲坛探讨了COVID-19大流行及其相关公共卫生缓解措施如何影响儿童哮喘发病率。最近完成的和正在进行的在婴幼儿人群中进行的临床试验和评估过敏结果可能很好地检查大流行对哮喘发病率和哮喘发病时间的影响。

期刊介绍： JACI: In Practice is an official publication of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI). It is a companion title to The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, and it aims to provide timely clinical papers, case reports, and management recommendations to clinical allergists and other physicians dealing with allergic and immunologic diseases in their practice. The mission of JACI: In Practice is to offer valid and impactful information that supports evidence-based clinical decisions in the diagnosis and management of asthma, allergies, immunologic conditions, and related diseases. This journal publishes articles on various conditions treated by allergist-immunologists, including food allergy, respiratory disorders (such as asthma, rhinitis, nasal polyps, sinusitis, cough, ABPA, and hypersensitivity pneumonitis), drug allergy, insect sting allergy, anaphylaxis, dermatologic disorders (such as atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, urticaria, angioedema, and HAE), immunodeficiency, autoinflammatory syndromes, eosinophilic disorders, and mast cell disorders. The focus of the journal is on providing cutting-edge clinical information that practitioners can use in their everyday practice or to acquire new knowledge and skills for the benefit of their patients. However, mechanistic or translational studies without immediate or near future clinical relevance, as well as animal studies, are not within the scope of the journal.
