Abstract:
Objective To investigate six yearsˊ outcome of children with asthma. Methods Children with asthma diagnosed in the epidemiological survey of childhood asthma in urban area of Beijing in 2010 were selected in this study. The field follow-up was conducted in 2016(6 years later)to obtain information about asthma attack,di-sease control,medication usage,and comorbidities of allergic diseases. The skin prick test,lung function and exhaled ni-tric oxide were performed during field follow - up stage. Results Sixty - four children,aged 7 - 19 years old [(13. 59 ± 3. 48)years old],completed the field follow-up survey. Among 35. 9%(23/64 cases)children,the asth-ma symptoms still persisted within 2 years(without remission),while 64. 1%(41/64 cases)children had no symp-toms within 2 years and above(remission). The course of children without remission(9. 0 years)was significantly lon-ger than that of children with remission(5. 5 years),and there was statistical significance(z＝ -3. 775,P<0. 001). Among the children without remission,the number of uncontrolled children in the last month accounted for 13. 0%(3/23 cases),partially controlled for 17. 4%(4/23 cases),and under controlled for 69. 6%(16/23 cases). The majority of unrelieved children were treated with intermittent control drug[43. 5%(10/23 cases)υs. 12. 2%(5/41 cases), χ2 ＝8. 036,P<0. 01]. A total of 47. 8%(11/23 cases)of children without remission were completely unaffected by physical activity,while 92. 7%(38/41 cases)of children with clinical remission were completely unaffected by physi-cal activity(χ2 ＝14. 117,P<0. 001). The proportion of children without remission with eczema and atopic dermatitis lasting longer than 6 years old was 56. 5%(13/23 cases),which was significantly higher than that of children with re-mission[29. 3%(12/41 cases),χ2 ＝4. 598,P<0. 05]. In 2010 and 2016,there were 46 children with allergen re-sults. Compared with 2010,the proportion of animal fur and pollen allergy increased in 2016[19. 6%(9/46 cases)υs. 52. 2%(24/46 cases),36. 9%(17/46 cases)υs. 67. 4%(31/46 cases)],and there were statistical significances (χ2 ＝10. 632,8. 538,all P<0. 01). In 2016,the number and degree of total allergens in the clinical unrelieved chil-dren were higher than that in the relieved children. Further analysis showed that the unrelieved children had higher cigarette allergy positivity(21. 7% υs. 2. 5%,χ2 ＝4. 239,P<0. 05). There was no significant difference in lung func-tion and exhaling nitric oxide between the clinical unrelieved children and the relieved children. Conclusions Six years later,the proportion of animal fur and pollen allergy increased in children with asthma. Compared with children with remission,the children without remission had more treatment with intermittent control drug,with higher proportion of eczema and atopic dermatitis over six years old,and higher percentage of cigarette allergy positivity.
