Abstract

Allergic disorders are common, chronic conditions in pediatric populations. The characteristic symptoms of allergic disorders mainly include bronchial asthma (BA), allergic rhinitis (AR), and atopic dermatitis (AD), all of which may disturb sleep, leading to daytime inattention, irritability, and hyperactivity, which are also components of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Conflicting data exist in the literature regarding the relationship between ADHD and allergic disorders. The aim of this nationwide, population-based study is to examine the prevalence and risk of developing ADHD among allergic patients in a pediatric group. Data from a total of 226,550 pediatric patients under 18 years of age were collected from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database recorded from January 1 to December 31, 2005 and analyzed. We calculated the prevalence of allergic diseases based on various demographic variables, including ADHD. We also used multivariable logistic regression to analyze the risk factors of ADHD. In 2005, the period prevalence rates of allergic disorders and ADHD in persons under the age of 18 were 21.5% and 0.6%, respectively. Pediatric patients with allergic disorder(s) had a substantially increa...Continue Reading

Attention Disorders

Attention is involved in all cognitive activities, and attention disorders are reported in patients with various neurological diseases. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to attention disorders.

Allergies & Environmental Factors

Environmental factors are strongly associated with the prevalence of allergies and are an increasing health concern worldwide. Discover the latest research on Allergies and Environmental Factors here.

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus. Discover the latest research on atopic dermatitis here.

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.
