Abstract

AIM

To discuss trends based on data on all asthma-related admissions of children under 15 years of age.

METHODS

retrospective analysis of records of the Finnish National Research and Development Centre for Welfare and Health in 1996-2004. The analysis was stratified for age.

RESULTS

Out of the total of 23,715 such admissions, 66.8% involved boys. The number of all admissions for boys aged 0-under 3 years declined by 42.7% (relative to the child population) between 1996 and 2004, that for boys aged 3-under 5 years by 55.1% and that for boys aged 5-under 15 years by 59.0%, the figures for the corresponding age groups of girls being 53.0, 48.7 and 66.1%, respectively. The overall rate of first admissions for asthma among children (relative to population) declined by 36.8% during that period. CONCLUSIONS. The hospitalization of children for asthma has declined in Finland in recent times in all age and both sex groups. This favourable development coincides with the systematically programmed national shift into effective anti-inflammatory therapy in the paediatric age groups.

摘要

目的

基于15岁以下儿童所有哮喘相关住院数据探讨趋势。

方法

对芬兰国家福利与健康研究发展中心1996 - 2004年的记录进行回顾性分析。分析按年龄分层。

结果

在总共23715例此类住院病例中，66.8%涉及男孩。1996年至2004年间，0至3岁男孩的所有住院病例数（相对于儿童人口）下降了42.7%，3至5岁男孩下降了55.1%，5至15岁男孩下降了59.0%，相应年龄组女孩的数字分别为53.0%、48.7%和66.1%。在此期间，儿童哮喘首次住院的总体发生率（相对于人口）下降了36.8%。结论：近年来，芬兰各年龄组和两性群体中因哮喘住院的儿童数量均有所下降。这一有利发展与在儿童年龄组中系统规划的全国性转向有效抗炎治疗相吻合。
