The main objective of the study was to determine the prevalence of asthma and sleep-related breathing disorder (SRBD) in school-going children.
This school-based, cross-sectional study was conducted among children of age groups of 6-7 and 13-14 years from 31 public and private schools in rural and urban areas of Jodhpur. A pretested and validated questionnaire in Hindi for childhood asthma, International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood questionnaire and 22-item pediatric SRBD scale were used to collect data.
A total of 2245 children were screened for asthma and SRBD. The overall prevalence of asthma and SRBD in school children in Jodhpur was 8.0% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 6.9%-9.2%) and 9.5% (95% CI: 8.4-10.8), respectively. Asthma was found to be significantly associated with SRBD in school-going children in Jodhpur (odds ratio: 4.8; 95% CI: 3.3-6.8) on multiple logistic regression analysis.
There is a significantly high prevalence of asthma and SRBD with a good association between them in school-going children.
本研究的主要目的是确定学龄儿童哮喘和睡眠相关呼吸障碍(SRBD)的患病率。
本基于学校的横断面研究在焦特布尔农村和城市地区31所公立和私立学校6至7岁以及13至14岁年龄组的儿童中开展。采用一份预先测试并经验证的印地语儿童哮喘问卷、儿童哮喘和过敏国际研究问卷以及22项儿科SRBD量表收集数据。
总共对2245名儿童进行了哮喘和SRBD筛查。焦特布尔学龄儿童哮喘和SRBD的总体患病率分别为8.0%(95%置信区间[CI]:6.9%-9.2%)和9.5%(95%CI:8.4-10.8)。多因素逻辑回归分析显示,焦特布尔学龄儿童中哮喘与SRBD显著相关(比值比:4.8;95%CI:3.3-6.8)。
学龄儿童中哮喘和SRBD的患病率显著较高,且二者之间存在良好关联。
