This is the first multi-center epidemiological study on the prevalence of childhood asthma in Serbia and Montenegro. The International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) phase 3 is a large epidemiological multinational and multicentric study on the prevalence of asthma, allergic rhinitis and eczema in children.
The 12-month period prevalence of asthma, allergic rhinitis and eczema was calculated using an ISAAC phase 3 questionnaire for two age groups: 6-7 years old and 13-14 years old.
In the 13 485 children from five study centers who responded to the questionnaire, the prevalence for childhood asthma ranged from 2.5% to 9.8%, for allergic rhinoconjunctivitis (hay fever) from 4.6% to 21%, and for eczema from 8.2% to 17.2%. The prevalence of current wheezing was high in both age groups (16.5% and 12.4% respectively).
The prevalence of asthma is higher in 6-7 years old school children in the urban and largest cities of Belgrade and Nis, and in 13-14 years old children in Podgorica. The prevalence of asthma, allergic rhinitis and eczema in the school children of Serbia and Montenegro seems similar to that of other countries in Central and South-Eastern Europe.
这是首次在塞尔维亚和黑山开展的儿童哮喘流行情况的多中心流行病学研究。国际儿童哮喘和过敏研究（ISAAC）第 3 阶段是一项关于儿童哮喘、过敏性鼻炎和湿疹的流行情况的大型国际、多中心和多国家的流行病学研究。
采用 ISAAC 第 3 阶段问卷，对两个年龄组（6-7 岁和 13-14 岁）的哮喘、过敏性鼻炎和湿疹的 12 个月期间患病率进行计算。
在五个研究中心的 13485 名应答问卷调查的儿童中，儿童哮喘的患病率范围为 2.5%-9.8%，过敏性鼻结膜炎（花粉症）为 4.6%-21%，湿疹为 8.2%-17.2%。两个年龄组的当前喘息患病率均较高（分别为 16.5%和 12.4%）。
在贝尔格莱德和尼斯等城市以及波德戈里察的 6-7 岁学龄儿童中，哮喘的患病率较高。塞尔维亚和黑山学龄儿童的哮喘、过敏性鼻炎和湿疹患病率似乎与中东欧其他国家类似。
