INTRODUCTION
Childhood asthma is one of important diseases of childhood. There is no known prevalence of asthma and allergic diseases in Lebanon. This study was conducted with a secondary objective of finding the odds of exposure to asthma, allergic rhinitis and eczema potential risk factors in Lebanese children.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
It is a cross-sectional study on children in public and private schools. A sample of 22 schools participated, where standardized written core questionnaires were distributed. 5-12 year old students completed the questionnaires at home, while 13-14 year old students filled it in class.
RESULTS
5522 children were evaluated for asthma, allergic rhinitis and atopic eczema prevalence and their associated factors. These diseases seem to be similarly affected by parental respiratory problems, parental smoking, infancy gastroesophageal reflux, recurrent otitis, and previous pertussis. Humidity on the bedroom walls is associated with both asthma and allergic rhinitis, a spongy pillow with both allergic rhinitis and eczema, animal possession with asthma, and noncotton mattress with atopic eczema. The adjusted odds ratios for significant associations varied between 1.25 and 3 (0.0001 < p-value < 0.01).
CONCLUSION
These factors are preventable, thus permitting a possible reduction of the prevalence of these diseases.
简介
儿童哮喘是儿童的重要疾病之一。在黎巴嫩，没有已知的哮喘和过敏性疾病的流行情况。本研究的次要目的是发现与黎巴嫩儿童哮喘、过敏性鼻炎和特应性皮炎潜在风险因素相关的暴露几率。
材料与方法
这是一项在公立和私立学校儿童中进行的横断面研究。共有 22 所学校参与了研究，发放了标准化的书面核心问卷。5-12 岁的学生在家中完成问卷，13-14 岁的学生在课堂上填写问卷。
结果
对 5522 名儿童进行了哮喘、过敏性鼻炎和特应性皮炎的患病率及其相关因素的评估。这些疾病似乎同样受到父母呼吸系统问题、父母吸烟、婴儿期胃食管反流、复发性中耳炎和以前的百日咳的影响。卧室墙壁的湿度与哮喘和过敏性鼻炎都有关，海绵枕头与过敏性鼻炎和湿疹都有关，宠物与哮喘有关，非棉质床垫与特应性皮炎有关。有显著关联的调整比值比在 1.25 到 3 之间（0.0001 < p 值 < 0.01）。
结论
这些因素是可以预防的，因此有可能降低这些疾病的患病率。
