The aim of this study was to verify the prevalence of wheezing in infants (< 1 year of age) in Recife, Pernambuco State, Brazil, and to identify associated risk factors.
the study was performed according to the protocol of the International Study of Wheezing in Infants (EISL) in children ranging from 12 to 15 months of age. The sample was analyzed for presence or absence of wheezing. A total of 1,071 parents of children ranging from 12 to 15 months of age were interviewed. Prevalence of wheezing in the first year of life was 43%, with no difference between the sexes. Wheezing in the first year of life was associated with pneumonia, family history of asthma, more than nine episodes of upper airway infection, and the first cold before six months of age (p < 0.001). Prevalence of wheezing in the first year of life was high in Recife. Early onset (and high number) of colds, family history of asthma, and pneumonia were associated with wheezing in these children.
本研究的目的是核实巴西伯南布哥州累西腓1岁以下婴儿喘息的患病率，并确定相关危险因素。
该研究按照国际婴儿喘息研究（EISL）方案对12至15个月大的儿童进行。分析样本中是否存在喘息。共采访了1071名12至15个月大儿童的家长。一岁以内喘息的患病率为43%，男女之间无差异。一岁以内的喘息与肺炎、哮喘家族史、超过9次上呼吸道感染发作以及6个月前首次感冒有关（p<0.001）。累西腓一岁以内婴儿喘息的患病率较高。感冒的早发（及高发）、哮喘家族史和肺炎与这些儿童的喘息有关。
