We reviewed this question in a recent survey. Methods: The Luftibus study collected information on respiratory symptoms by parent completed questionnaires in unselected school-aged children from the canton of Zurich, 2013-16. We investigated whether wheeze prevalence and asthma medication differed between girls and boys. Results: 3148 children participated, 1587 girls and 1561 boys, with median age of 12 years (IQR 10-14, range 6-16). 253 (8%) children reported current wheeze. The proportion decreased with age from 11% in 6-9 year olds to 8% in 13-16 year olds in boys while it increased with age from 5% (6-9year olds) to 9% (13-16year olds) in girls. 78 children (3%) had frequent wheeze (≥4 attacks/year). In the past year, among children who wheezed, 129 (51%), 52% girls and 51% boys, had used short-acting beta 2 agonists (SABA) and 94 (37%), 39% girls and 36% boys, were treated with inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). Among children with frequent wheeze only 45 (58%) and 27 (35%) used SABA and ICS respectively. Adjusting for frequency of attacks and number of asthma symptoms, there was no difference between boys and girls in the use of SABA (OR 0.95, 95%CI 0.54-1.7) and ICS (OR 0.93, 95%CI 0.53-1.7) overall. Among 6-9-year olds, boys received ICS less often than girls (OR 0.22, 95%CI 0.067-0.73). Conclusion: A significant proportion of schoolchildren with frequent wheeze did not use asthma medication in the past year. We found no evidence that girls received less treatment than boys.

Methodology: This is a cross sectional study conducted in the Philippine Heart Center from April 2013 to June 2016. Hospital records of all pediatric patients aged 2 months to 19 years admitted with the diagnosis of pCAP were retrieved and reviewed. Subjects were grouped into adherent and non adherent. Adherence was defined as those subjects who were able to comply to ALL the recommendation as to the classification, site of care, diagnostics aids and treatment set by the PAPP guidelines. Non- adherence was defined as those who did not comply to ONE of the recommendations. This was then compared to the length of hospital stay, presence of clinical improvement, use of antibiotics and use of mechanical ventilation. Results: Adherence to PAPP guidelines was high in terms of severity and site of care, diagnostic aid and treatment. Diagnostics collected and antibiotics used were also adherent but showed no statistical significance. Most commonly used antibiotics were Cefuroxime and Clarithromycin. Length of hospital stay and signs of clinical improvement was shorter for adherent group, except those admitted to the ICU. Conclusion: The present data supports the recommendation of these guidelines.","PeriodicalId":190855,"journal":{"name":"Paediatric respiratory epidemiology","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127678547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Detailed individual childhood growth patterns might be better predictors of childhood respiratory morbidity than the difference in two measurements of weight and height. We assessed the associations of early childhood growth patterns with lung function and asthma at the age of 10 years and whether child’s current body mass index (BMI) influenced any association. In 4,435 children from the Generation R birth cohort study in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, we derived peak height and weight growth velocity, body mass index at adiposity peak, and age at adiposity peak from longitudinally measured growth data in the first 3 years of life. At 10 years, spirometry was performed including forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), and FEV1/FVC. Current asthma was assessed by questionnaires. Per standard deviation score, greater peak weight velocity was associated with higher FVC (z-score 0.03 [95% CI, 0.02 to 0.05]) but lower FEV1/FVC (-0.05 [95% CI, -0.07 to -0.04]). Greater body mass index at adiposity peak was associated with higher FVC (0.14 [0.10 to 0.18]) and FEV1 (0.06 [0.02 to 0.10]) but lower FEV1/FVC (-0.15 [-0.19 to -0.11]). Child’s current BMI partly explained the associations of PWV and FEV1/FVC and of BMIAP with FVC and FEV1/FVC. Peak height velocity and age at adiposity peak were not consistently associated with impaired lung function or asthma. Peak weight velocity and body mass index at adiposity peak were associated with lower lung function measures at age 10 years, not asthma, independently of child’s current weight status.","PeriodicalId":190855,"journal":{"name":"Paediatric respiratory epidemiology","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133269746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: We included 13 datasets from the international PCD (iPCD) cohort, with almost complete information on the neonatal period. We calculated the prevalence of reported NRDS and separately the prevalence of any reported neonatal manifestation (including any of the following: NRDS, rhinitis, cough, pneumonia, admission to NICU, mechanical ventilation, need of oxygen, hydrocephalus). Further, we compared age of diagnosis in patients with and without neonatal manifestations using poisson regression models.

Aims and objectives: To investigate associations between early life paracetamol use and adolescent asthma and lung function and to assess if these associations are modified by GST gene polymorphisms. Methods: The Melbourne Atopy Cohort Study included 620 children followed from birth to 18 years, with paracetamol use and indications documented 18 times up to 2 years.

Diagnosis relies on a combination of tests and final decision by multidisciplinary team (MDT). High-speed video microscopy (HSVM) is an important contribution to diagnostic testing, and is the only test that examines cilia motility on the day of patients’ appointment. No study has assessed the accuracy of HSVM. We hypothesised that scientists experienced in cilia assessment by HSVM would accurately diagnose PCD using HSVM alone compared to MDT diagnosis. Methods: We used 720 archived videos from 120 patients referred to three UK PCD diagnostic services in 2015-17. One scientist from each PCD centre reviewed videos, blinded to diagnostic and clinical data, and scored them for final diagnosis using a standardised proforma. We compared the final scoring for each scientist to: a) a report containing final diagnosis from the MDT decision, and b) diagnostic criteria provided in the 2017 ERS PCD diagnostic guidelines. Results: Sensitivity and specificity were: a) 96.1% and 100% respectively when compared to MDT decision, and b) 95.7% and 100% respectively when compared to ERS guidelines criteria. Inter-rater reliability between the three scientists was substantial (k=0.7) for ‘PCD positive’, and moderate (k=0.44) for ‘PCD highly unlikely’. Conclusions: Specialist scientists accurately diagnosed PCD using HSVM analysis, with high inter-observer agreement. HSVM can be used to reliably counsel patients on their likely diagnosis on the same day as clinic appointment and inform clinicians on initiation of treatment while confirmatory investigations are conducted.
