Abstract:
Early detection of bronchial asthma in children and establishment of a national continuous monitoring system:Introduction: Bronchial asthma - a chronic inflammatory disease with recurrent allergic reactions characterized by increased sensitivity of the bronchi to various factors, swelling of the bronchial mucosa, excessive mucus secretion, and narrowing of the airways due to severe muscle contraction. Early detection of bronchial asthma in childhood, its prevalence, and the establishment of a continuous monitoring system to assess the effectiveness of follow-up treatment
Materials and methods: It is mild in children, but is ready to be severe. If left untreated for a long time, the structure of the bronchi changes irreversibly and becomes ineffective. There are cases of death due to risk factors for irritability and asthma. In the first objective of the study, the National Center for Maternal and Child Health (NCMCH) Children's Counseling Polyclinic, Respiratory Pathology Department, and the Children's Department of the General Hospital of 21 aimags and 9 districts were used to determine the prevalence of Acute respiratory infections, implemented outpatient (2019-2021). Within the scope of objectives 2 and 3 of the study, a self-controlled case-control study model was used to assess the diagnosis of asthma in the case group based on the GINA-2018 guideline evaluation and clinical and laboratory tests based on the GINA protocol treatment. The parameters were taken, the pre-treatment parameters were recorded and compared in the control group, and the results were calculated.
Results: When the prevalence was determined by the Acute respiratory infections level, there were 11 cases per 1,000 children. 80.8% of cases of asthma were caused by asthma 1-5 times a year, and the majority or 96.5% were aged 0-9 years. Allergies include plant (42.9%), food (25.4%), and pet (14.3%) allergies under the age of 4, all types of allergies between the ages of 5-14, and plant allergies 15-19 years, (9%), food (21.4%), pet (14.3%), environmental moisture and mold allergies (14.3%). Among the 89 children treated according to GINA guidelines, 64.0% used spices or allergenic foods, 13.5% used antibiotics, 6.7% used paracetamol, and 13.5% used other drugs. Children with asthma were assessed according to GINA guidelines and monitored and treated for 1 year (0.0001), the number of cases of asthma (p = 0.035) and the number of people receiving emergency care (p = 0.042) decreased statistically. There was a statistically significant difference of 2%, nocturnal cough decreased by 15.2%, and whooping cough decreased by 1.4%.
Conclusions: The prevalence of asthma was 11 cases per 1,000 children. The main causes of allergies are plants, food and pets. The number of coughs, hospitalizations and emergency room visits decreased with GINA treatment.
