Children are profoundly powerless against the negative wellbeing resulting in numerous ecological exposures. Children get proportionately more significant portions of natural toxicants than grown-ups, and the way that their organs and tissues are quickly creating makes them especially vulnerable to synthetic abuse. Asthma is a constant fiery infection of the aviation routes at present influencing over 300 million individuals around the world. The risk factors of asthma include genetic predisposition, irresistible respiratory contamination, allergens, environment, workouts, medications, additives, and occupational stimuli. The descriptive research design was used with 100 samples, which matched Non- probability convenience sampling techniques selected the inclusion criteria. Demographic variables were collected by interview method followed by assessed the risk factors of bronchial asthma in children (below ten years of age) by using a self-structured questionnaire. Out of 100 samples, 50(50%) risk factor of heredity, 71(71%) have problems in taking asthma medications, 44(44%) only use zipped pillow covers, 34(34%) do not use gas stoves in the kitchen, 10(10%) have moisture in the walls, 6(6%) have cases of asthma emergencies, 56(56%) find helpless in dealing with an asthma child.

Asthma In Children

Bronchial asthma (BA) is a common chronic pathology of the lower respiratory tract in children. The first manifestations of the disease can begin at any age, but the clinical features, of the course, are different in different periods of childhood. Manifestations and course of asthma may disappear or progress with age. Therefore, it is likely that there are differences in the pathophysiology, inflammatory response of the body and the features of the clinic of asthma in children of different ages, which affects the diagnosis and treatment. The aim of the study was to determine the features of clinical symptoms and the influence of risk factors for asthma on its occurrence in children of different ages. Materials and methods. We analyzed the anamnesis and clinical symptoms of 57 children aged 3 to 18 years, who were treated from September 2020 to June 2021 in the Lviv Regional Children's Clinical Hospital “OHMATDYT” and in the Lviv Municipal City Children's Clinical Hospital. The age groups did not differ statistically in the severity of asthma (P> 0.05). Thus, in group 1 was 1 patient (9.09%) with mild form, 1 patient (9.09%) - moderate persistent form, 8 patients (72.73%) - with severe persistent form. Among patients of age group 2 was 1 patient (3.85%) with mild persistent form, 3 children (11.54%) - moderate and 21 children (80.77%) - with severe persistent form. In group 3 was 1 patient (5%) with a mild persistent form, 6 patients (30%) - moderate and 12 children (80%) - with a severe persistent form. The vast majority of patients were boys (84.21 ± 4.83%). All patients underwent general clinical examinations, spirometry, and allergy tests. We used the clinical-anamnestic method to perform the tasks of the work, which consisted in collecting a detailed somatic and genealogical anamnesis during the parents` questionnaire. Physical development of children was assessed using centile tables. Statistics were evaluated by calculating Student's t-test and Pearson's consistency test. Preschool children with asthma were more likely to experience shortness of breath during exercise and a wet low-yielding cough, and children of primary and secondary school age were more characterized by concomitant allergic rhinitis. Autumn was more unfavorable period for the exacerbation of clinical manifestations of asthma in children of Lviv region was period. We did not find correlation of birth weight on the timing of asthma. However, a burdensome obstetric history contributed to the early development of clinical manifestations of asthma. Preschool children were more likely to be exposed to nicotine during the antenatal period and had a shorter duration of breastfeeding, which may be a probable risk factor for asthma in preschool children. In 77% of children from different age groups were burdened with a history of allergies, with 66% of cases more pronounced in the maternal line. An analysis of physical development revealed that most preschool children were overweight. Conclusions. Asthma has features of clinical symptoms in children of different ages - shortness of breath during exercise and whooping cough are characteristic of preschool children, and concomitant chronic persistent rhinitis - for older age groups. Seasonal exacerbations are characteristic of asthma in children; in particular, the autumn period is more unfavorable, common for asthmatics in children of all ages among patients in Lviv region. Maternal smoking during pregnancy has a significant effect on the risk of developing asthma in children. Also, a burdened maternal allergy history and overweight child contributes to the development of asthma in children.

Asthma In Children

Prevention of childhood bronchial asthma is one of the top priorities in the Global Health Strategy for the Health of children and adults (2016-2030 y) reflected in the aims and scope of the WHO Sustainable Development. The methodology of this study was based on the WHO STEPS staging tool in order to conduct epidemiological monitoring of risk factors for developing bronchial asthma in children living in Kyiv. Out study provides scientific support for the most probable risk factors for developing childhood asthma both endogenous and exogenous, witch have a complex complementary effect. The following prognostic coefficients have been found out as the most informative for predicting of allergic respiratory pathology in children: antenatal period complications - 54.45, hereditary predisposition to allergic respiratory diseases - 76.3, presence of allergic constitutional diathesis - 83, frequency rate of formula feeding up to a year - 89, 5, spontaneous manifestation of night suffocation - 91.89, atopy signs and symptoms - 63.9, frequency of acute respiratory viral infections - 93.9, impact of climate on morbidity rate - 56.42. This article presents predictive factors for the risk of developing allergic respiratory pathology in children that can contribute to identifying this pathology at the stage of prenosological diagnosis. In order to improve the method of environmental monitoring for non-infections diseases, to determine the sources of potential risk factors for developing childhood asthma, a special medical calculator was suggested. The analysis of current literature sources have demonstrated the high relevance and necessity in further detailed research of issues on negative changes of atmospheric air and other factors, which can probably contribute to the development of childhood bronchial asthma. Also there is a need in improving and implementing the state-of-the-art information systems in the primary paediatric healthcare services for nosologic diagnosis of bronchial asthma. In-depth epidemiological research on impact of various factors on developing bronchial asthma in children should be conducted in order to give grounds for elaborating approaches to healthcare provision to children with signs of allergic conditions in children. The further studies will focus on the epidemiological investigation of non-infectious diseases including international groundwork on this issue.

Asthma In Children

The prevalence of bronchial asthma (BA) in recent years has been steadily increasing in many countries of the world. Among allergic diseases and respiratory diseases, asthma occupies a leading position. In order to study the prevalence of asthma, we performed questionnaire survey of 6326 schoolchildren, including 3125 cases aged of 7-8 years and children of 13-14 years according to the «ISAAC» program. The prevalence of bronchial asthma in children in the mountain climate is about 8.43 per 1,000 children, which is almost two times lower than in the low-lying zone, in urban children the prevalence of bronchial asthma is 25 per 1000 children. Among the risk factors for the formation of bronchial asthma in children the leading place is occupied by hereditary, occupy antenatal and social sanitary risk factors.

Purpose. To determine the anamnestic predictors of severe bronchial asthma in children. Material and methods. We analyzed risk factors of 335 patients with bronchial asthma. We statistically selected 287 patients and developed a prognostic model. Results. The predictors of severe bronchial asthma are combination of factors such as high incidence of ARVI in the first 3 years of life (odds ratio – OR 4.5; p<0.0001), smoking parents (OR 3.9; p<0.01), female (OR 2.06; p=0.041), patient age (OR 1.44; p<0.0001) and the early disease debut (OR 0.58; p<0.0001). Conclusion. The results obtained should be used to predict the severe course of bronchial asthma based on the analysis of anamnestic data complex available in practical healthcare, to organize dispensary observation of sick children.

To study the characteristics of severe bronchial asthma, 140 children were examined. A survey, clinical, allergological and functional examinations were carried out. Studies have shown that in boys, asthma becomes severe earlier. Polyvalent sensitization to epidermal allergens and the presence of bronchial asthma in the mother of the child, severe asphyxia at birth are risk factors for severe asthma in children

Risk factors for bronchial asthma in children of Chita Region were studied. According to the literature data, 12 clinical-anamnestic characteristics were suggested to be risk factors for bronchial asthma. Prevalence of risk factors was assessed in 72 children with severe asthma, 60 children with moderate, and 58 children with mild bronchial asthma. Odds ratios (OR) with the 95% confident interval for each factor were calculated. Factors with predominance in the asthma group included: parental history of asthma (OR = 16.2), congenital abnormalities and complications of pregnancy and labor (OR = 1.9), prenatal lesion of central nervous system (OR = 2.8), recurrent respiratory tract infections (OR = 12.4), coexisting atopic dermatitis (OR = 1.8), passive smoking (OR = 2.8), and food sensitization (OR = 7.7). The findings can be used to calculate individual risks in a population for prediction of development of this pathology and for its timely prevention.
