Bronchiolitis hospital admission in infancy is associated with later preschool ventilation inhomogeneity. Pediatr Pulmonol 2024; 59:632-641. [PMID: 38088225 DOI: 10.1002/ppul.26793] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2022] [Revised: 10/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/25/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Rhinovirus (RV) positive bronchiolitis episodes in infancy confer a higher risk to develop asthma in later childhood with associated lung function impairments. We aimed to investigate the association between the type of virus causing a bronchiolitis hospitalization episode and lung ventilation inhomogeneities at preschool age. METHODS Infants hospitalized with a clinical diagnosis of moderate (ward admission) or severe (pediatric intensive care ward admission) bronchiolitis were prospectively followed-up at preschool age to assess nitrogen (N2 ) multiple breath washout (MBW). Lung clearance index (LCI), functional residual capacity (FRC), and concentration normalized phase III slope analysis (SnIII ) indices were reported from ≥2 technically acceptable trials. Differences between groups were calculated using logistic and linear regression and adjusted for confounders (sex, age at bronchiolitis admission, height at visit, maternal asthma, and doctor-diagnosed asthma, including interaction terms between the latter three). An interaction term was included in a regression model to test for an interaction between RV bronchiolitis severity and MBW parameters at preschool age. RESULTS One hundred and thirty-nine subjects attended preschool follow-up, of which 84 out of 103 (82%) performing MBW had technically acceptable data. Children with a history of RV positive bronchiolitis (n = 39) had increased LCI (adjusted β-coefficient [aβ] = 0.33, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.02-0.65, p = 0.040) and conductive airways ventilation inhomogeneity [Scond ] (aβ = 0.016, CI 0.004-0.028, p = 0.011) when compared with those with a RV negative bronchiolitis history (n = 45). In addition, we found a statistical interaction between RV bronchiolitis and bronchiolitis severity strengthening the association with LCI (aβ = 0.93, CI 0.20-1.58, p = 0.006). CONCLUSION Children with a history of hospital admission for RV positive bronchiolitis in infancy might be at a higher risk of lung ventilation inhomogeneities at preschool age, arising from the peripheral conducting airways.

Abstract
A decade-long neglect of rhinovirus as an important agent of disease in humans was primarily due to the fact that they were seen as less virulent and capable of causing only mild respiratory infections such as common cold. However, with an advent of molecular diagnostic methods, an increasing number of reports placed them among the pathogens found in the lower respiratory tract and recognized them as important risk factors for asthma-related pathology in childhood. As the spread of rhinovirus was not severely affected by the implementation of social distancing and other measures during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, its putative pathogenic role has become even more evident in recent years. By concentrating on children as the most vulnerable group, in this narrative review we first present classification and main traits of rhinovirus, followed by epidemiology and clinical presentation, risk factors for severe forms of the disease, long-term complications and the pathogenesis of asthma, as well as a snapshot of treatment trials and studies. Recent evidence suggests that the rhinovirus is a significant contributor to respiratory illness in both high-risk and low-risk populations of children.

The role of respiratory syncytial virus- and rhinovirus-induced bronchiolitis in recurrent wheeze and asthma-A systematic review and meta-analysis. Pediatr Allergy Immunol 2022; 33:e13741. [PMID: 35338734 DOI: 10.1111/pai.13741] [Citation(s) in RCA: 47] [Impact Index Per Article: 23.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2021] [Revised: 01/11/2022] [Accepted: 01/31/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most common cause of bronchiolitis. RSV-induced bronchiolitis has been associated with preschool wheeze and asthma in cohort studies where the comparison groups consist of healthy infants. However, recent studies identify rhinovirus (RV)-induced bronchiolitis as a potentially stronger risk factor for recurrent wheeze and asthma. AIM This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to compare the associations of RSV- and RV-induced bronchiolitis with the development of preschool wheeze and childhood asthma. METHODS We performed a systematic search of the published literature in five databases by using a MeSH term-based algorithm. Cohort studies that enrolled infants with bronchiolitis were included. The primary outcomes were recurrent wheeze and asthma diagnosis. Wald risk ratios and odds ratios (ORs) were estimated, along with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Individual and summary ORs were visualized with forest plots. RESULTS There were 38 studies included in the meta-analysis. Meta-analysis of eight studies that had data on the association between infant bronchiolitis and recurrent wheeze showed that the RV-bronchiolitis group were more likely to develop recurrent wheeze than the RSV-bronchiolitis group (OR 4.11; 95% CI 2.24-7.56). Similarly, meta-analysis of the nine studies that had data on asthma development showed that the RV-bronchiolitis group were more likely to develop asthma (OR 2.72; 95% CI 1.48-4.99). CONCLUSION This is the first meta-analysis that directly compares between-virus differences in the magnitude of virus-recurrent wheeze and virus-childhood asthma outcomes. RV-induced bronchiolitis was more strongly associated with the risk of developing wheeze and childhood asthma.

Ahmad K, Kabir E, Ormsby GM, Khanam R. Are wheezing, asthma and eczema in children associated with mother's health during pregnancy? Evidence from an Australian birth cohort. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2021; 79:193. [PMID: 34749801 PMCID: PMC8577022 DOI: 10.1186/s13690-021-00718-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2021] [Accepted: 10/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/10/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study investigated the prevalence of wheezing, asthma, and eczema among Australian children using longitudinal data from birth to 15 years of age. This study also examined the association between maternal health status during pregnancy and their offspring's respiratory and allergic morbidities using sex-segregated data. METHODS This study used data from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC) where approximately 5000 children of a birth cohort across Australia were surveyed in 2004. These children were followed biennially in eight waves up to their age of 15 years until 2018. The status of the children's wheezing, asthma, and eczema were reported by the mothers upon doctors' diagnosis (for asthma) or self-assessment (for wheezing or eczema). Binomial logistic regression models were used to analyse associations between maternal health during pregnancy and their children's health outcomes. RESULTS Asthma prevalence among 0-1-year aged children was 11.7%, increased to 15.4% when the children were 10-11 years old, and then decreased to 13.6% when they were 14-15 years old. Wheezing and eczema were most prevalent when the children were 2-3 years old (26.0 and 17.8% respectively) and were least prevalent when the children were 14-15 years old (7.3 and 9.5% respectively). Maternal asthma, smoking during pregnancy, and pre-pregnancy obesity were significantly associated with an increased risk of wheezing and asthma in Australian children. Childhood eczema was associated only with maternal asthma. These associations were stronger among male children up to age 10-11 and during adolescence (12-15 years of age), female children were more prone to wheezing, asthma, and eczema. CONCLUSION This is a comprehensive longitudinal study of Australian children (0-15 years of age) to assess the prevalence (with sex-specific differences) of wheezing, asthma and eczema as well as the association between these respiratory and allergic morbidities and maternal health during pregnancy. The study findings suggest that careful medical and obstetric monitoring, improved specific age-sex wise risk factor prevention for children and health promotion for pregnant women would help protect child health.
