Abstract

We sought to examine the association between childhood asthma and self-reported maternal smoking during pregnancy (MSDP) after adjusting for a range of exposure misclassification scenarios using a Bayesian approach that incorporated exposure misclassification probability estimates from the literature. Self-reported MSDP and asthma data were extracted from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011-2012. The association between self-reported MSDP and asthma was adjusted for exposure misclassification using a Bayesian bias model approach. We included 3074 subjects who were 1-15 years of age, including 492 asthma cases. The mean (SD) of age of the participants was 8.5 (4.1) and 7.1 (4.2) years and the number (percentage) of female was 205 (42%) and 1314 (51%) among asthmatic and nonasthmatic groups, respectively. The odds ratio (OR) for the association between self-reported MSDP and asthma in logistic regression adjusted for confounders was 1.28 (95% confidence interval: 0.92, 1.77). In a Bayesian analysis that adjusted for exposure misclassification using external data, we found different ORs between MSDP and asthma by applying different priors (posterior ORs 0.90 [95% credible interval {CRI}: 0.47, 1.60] to 3.05 [95% ...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.

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.

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.
