Abstract:
Objective:To explore the application value of asthma prediction index (API) in the management of young wheezing children in primary hospitals.Methods:From July 2014 to December 2016, 137 children with recurrent wheezing diagnosed and treated in the People's Hospital of Qidong were selected for API evaluation.Forty-six children with positive API (treatment group) were given standardized treatment for childhood asthma, 43 patients with API positive (observation group) and 48 patients with API negative (control group) were given routine treatment (intermittent anti-inflammatory and antiasthmatic treatment). All children were given breathing nursing education and management, followed up to observe breathing control.Results:One child in the treatment group was withdrawn from the cohort, and the complete remission rates in the treatment group, observation group and control group were 86.7% (39/45), 9.3% (4/43) and 43.8% (21/48), respectively.The complete response rate in the treatment group and control group was higher than that in the observation group, and the differences were statistically significant (χ 2=53.39, 14.78, all P<0.05). Conclusion:API can effectively help pediatricians in primary hospitals to manage young wheezing children and improve the complete remission rate.
