Pediatric Asthma
• Significant Public Health Problem in US.• 8.9%(6.5 million) children dx with Asthma in
2005,up from 3.6% in 1980.• Mortality rose during 1990’s and only recently
has shown decline.• However, Hospitalization Rates HIGH by 1990’s
and leveled off at historical rates…27/10,000 age 0-17yrs by 2004.
• Asthma Hospitalizations--No Improvement over past 15 years for kids <15yrs.

Pediatric Asthma
• ER Visits in US (under age 18years).
• 750,000 in 2004, 3% of all visits to ER setting.
• Primary Care Office Visits.
• Increasing since 2000-(YEAH!!!!???)

Pediatric AsthmaPresentation
• Chronic disease with both genetic and environmental influences.
• Airway Hyper-responsiveness
• Inflammation
• Reversible Airway Obstruction
• Onset during first 4 years of life.

Pediatric Asthma
• Predictable in kids with atopic dermatitis and food allergy during their first 1-2 years of life.
• Progression of aeroallergen sensitization, allergic rhinitis, and asthma.
• 90% of children with asthma have allergies.

Pediatric Asthma
• Stages of Asthma Pathogenesis:
• Induction Phase• Maintenance/Progression Phase
• Lancet 2006 article on large study-Age 3 vs 1390% of nonatopic wheezers resolved symptoms vs. only 56% of atopic wheezers.
Atopic Wheezers with significant loss of lung fxn between 7-13yrs.

Pediatric AsthmaDifferences with Adults
• Lung growth affected during development.
• Smaller airway size and lower inspiratory flow rates.
• Difficulty with objective lung function testing.

Pediatric AsthmaWheezing in Young Children
Transient Early Wheezing • Most prevalent• Recurrent wheezing episodes in first year
of life.• Can have severe episodes, requiring
hospitalizations.• Resolves by age 3-5 years.

Pediatric AsthmaWheezing in Young Children
Non-atopic Wheezing
• 20% of wheezing under age 3 years.

Pediatric AsthmaWheezing in Young Children
Atopic Wheezing
• 20% of wheezing under age 3years.• Presents in 2nd-3rd year of life.• Personal/Family history of ATOPY.• Episodic wheezing.• Normal lung fxn in infancy but reduced by
age 6 years.
