ANALYSIS OF INFLUENCING FACTORS FOR POOR ASTHMA CONTROL IN CHILDREN

Abstract

Objective To investigate the factors affecting poor asthma control in children, and to provide a reference for preventive strategies. Methods The clinical data of 125 children with asthma who were treated in our hospital from January 2020 to February 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the situation of asthma control, the children were divided into good control group (46 cases) and poor control group (79 cases). General information and clinical data were compared between the two groups. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the factors influencing asthma control. Results There were significant differences between the two groups in terms of age, rhinitis, dust mite allergy, respiratory infection, compliance with inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) treatment, maternal education level, and the severity of asthma (χ2=4.830-20.928,P<0.05). The multivariable logistic regression analysis found that age no more than six years, rhinitis, dust mite allergy, respiratory infection, poor compliance with ICS treatment, low maternal education level, and severe asthma were risk factors for poor asthma control (P<0.05). Conclusion Age, rhinitis, dust mite allergy, respiratory infection, compliance with ICS treatment, maternal education level, and the severity of asthma are factors influencing asthma control in children, which should be well managed to improve asthma control in children.
