Abstract

The etiology of herniated intervertebral disc (HIVD) disease in children and adolescents is multifactorial and not merely related to disc degeneration. Therefore, in the present study, we investigated the relationship between young asthma patients and the risk of early HIVD disease in a population under 30 years of age. Data from the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) of Taiwan were used to conduct a retrospective longitudinal cohort study. The study cohort comprised 23,470 patients with asthma (asthma group) and 23,470 patients without asthma (non-asthma group), who were selected through frequency matching on the basis of sex, age, and the index year. The study patients were followed until HIVD disease occurrence, withdrawal from the National Health Insurance program, or 31 December 2013. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was conducted to assess the risk of HIVD disease in the asthma group after adjustment for sex, age, and comorbidities. After adjustment for sex, age, and comorbidities, the asthma group had a 1.69-fold (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.29-2.23) higher risk of HIVD disease than did the non-asthma group. In addition, the asthma group had a higher risk of cervical and lumbar HIVD dise...Continue Reading

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
