| Abstract | Background: Wheezing is one of the most frequent
causes of visit to emergency rooms among children.
However, data on wheezing burden are mostly provided
at healthcare setting, and particularly only for
infants.
Aims: We sought to estimate the prevalence of
wheezing in children under 4 years and to assess
potential risk factors in the community.
Design: This was a cross-sectional analysis of a
population-based cohort study.
Methods: The sample comprised children aged <4
years living in Salvador, Brazil. Data were collected
via home visits when the parents/guardians were
interviewed. Data were recorded on standardized
forms.
Results: Of 1534 children, mean age was 21 14
months (minimum 3 days; maximum 47 months;
6% <2 months); 780 (51%) were males and 501
[33%; 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 30–35%]reported wheezing in the last 12 months. Among
wheezers, 321 (64%) had occasional wheezing.
Overall, 180 (12%; 95% CI: 10–14%) had recurrent
wheezing and 157 (10%; 95% CI: 9–12%) had
asthma. For children in the first, second, third and
fourth year of life wheezing was reported in 23, 41,
34 and 37%, respectively. Mother atopic-related disease
was independently associated with recurrent
wheezing (AdjPR[95% CI]: 1.54 [1.12–2.11]) and
asthma (AdjPR[95% CI]: 1.54 [1.10–2.16]). Smoker
at home (AdjPR[95% CI]: 1.34 [1.07–1.67]) and low
birth weight (AdjPR[95%CI]: 1.38 [1.05–1.81]) were
independently associated with occasional wheezing.
Conclusions: One-third of under 4 years reported
wheezing; history of mother’s atopic-related disease
was an independent risk factor for recurrent wheezing
and asthma; smoker at home and low birth
weight were independent risk factors for occasional
wheezing. | pt_BR |
