To study the point prevalence of allergic rhinitis and sinusitis in childhood asthma and to examine the relationship among them.
In 250 children (age <13 y) with mild-to-moderte asthma, allergic rhinitis was diagnosed by clinical plus nasal eosinophilia criteria, and sinusitis was diagnosed clinically plus confirmation by computerized tomography scan.
The point prevalence of allergic rhinitis was 13.6%, and of sinusitis was 2%. On multivariate analysis, allergic rhinitis, sinusitis, and family history were significantly associated with asthma severity.
Allergic rhinitis is common in childhood asthama, but sinusitis is rare.
研究儿童哮喘中变应性鼻炎和鼻窦炎的现患率,并探讨它们之间的关系。
对250例年龄小于13岁的轻至中度哮喘患儿,采用临床症状加鼻黏膜嗜酸性粒细胞标准诊断变应性鼻炎,采用临床症状加计算机断层扫描确诊鼻窦炎。
变应性鼻炎的现患率为13.6%,鼻窦炎的现患率为2%。多因素分析显示,变应性鼻炎、鼻窦炎和家族史与哮喘严重程度显著相关。
变应性鼻炎在儿童哮喘中常见,但鼻窦炎少见。
