Hışıltılı infantlarda risk faktörlerinin değerlendirilmesi

Amaç: Bu çalışmada, en az bir hışıltı atağı geçirmiş olan çocukların demografik özellikleri ve çevresel risk faktörlerinin araştırılması amaçlandı. Yöntemler: Yaşları 6-24 ay arasında olan 118 hastadan oluşan çalışma grubu, ilk defa hışıltı geçirenler ve tekrarlayan hışıltı geçirenler olmak üzere iki alt grupta incelendi. Kontrol grubu olarak, benzer yaş ve cinsiyetteki sağlıklı çocuklar alındı. Gruplarda anne-babaya verilen anket formu üzerine, olguların sosyo-demografik özellikleri ile ailesel ve kişisel atopik hastalık öyküsü, anne-baba eğitim durumu, pasif sigara içiciliği, soba kullanımı, ev kalabalıklığı indeksi, aşılanma durumu ve eşlik eden kalp hastalığı durumları kaydedildi. Bulgular: İlk hışıltı alt grubuna 52 hasta, tekrarlayan hışıltı alt grubuna 66 hasta alındı. Kontrol grubundaki 60 hasta ile çalışma grubu arasında yaş, cinsiyet, doğum tartısı ve anne sütü alma süresi açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık yoktu (p>0,05). Çalışma grubunda sigara içen anne ve annenin düşük eğitim düzeyi sıklığı kontrol grubuna kıyasla anlamlı yüksekti (p

Evaluation of risk factors in wheezy infants

Objectives: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the environmental risk factors and demographic characteristics of wheezy infants. Methods: A total of 118 children aged 6-24 months, investigated in two subgroups as first wheezing and recurrent wheezing infants. Age and sex matched, healthy 60 children were recruited as the control group. Questionnaire was filled by the parents including knowledge about socio-demographic features, history of familial and personal atopy, age at wheezing onset, parental education, smoking and stove heating at home, familial crowding index and child's immunization status. Results: First wheezing group included 52, recurrent wheezing group included 66 patients. There was no statistically significant difference between study group and the controls in terms of sociodemographic features (p>0.05). Low educational level of mothers and maternal smoking in the study group was found to be significantly higher than controls (p
