Abstract

Background: There is increasing evidence of prematurity being a risk factor for long-term respiratory outcomes regardless the presence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Aim: To assess the effect of prematurity on respiratory outcomes in children born ≤32 weeks of gestational age at 11 years of age. Materials and Methods: Fifty five ex-preterm children (≤ 32 weeks of gestational age), born in Chieti between January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2007, performed lung function and diffusing capacity test (DLCO) at 11 years of age. Furthermore, allergy evaluation by skin prick test (SPT), eosinophil blood count and assessment of eosinophilic airways inflammation by exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) were performed. The ex-preterm group was compared to an age- and sex-matched group of term children. Results: No difference for atopic and respiratory medical history was found between ex-preterm children and term controls, except for preschool wheezing that resulted more frequent in ex-preterm children. No difference neither in school-aged asthma frequency nor in lung function assessment at 11 years of age was found between the two groups. Lower DLCO values in ex-preterm children compared to term controls regardless the presence of BPD were foun...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.

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.
