ABSTRACT

Objectives:

To determine the prevalence of wheezing and its associated risk factors in infants in the first year of life in the province of Salamanca, Spain.

Methods:

A multicentre, cross-sectional, descriptive epidemiological study was designed to evaluate a representative sample of 750 infants in the first year of life, born in the province of Salamanca between 1 June 2008 and 30 September 2009.The study was based on a previously validated and standardised written questionnaire administered among the parents of those children seen for control at 12 months of age in any of the Primary Care centres in the province of Salamanca.

Results:

The recorded wheezing rate was 32.3%. Feeding and sleep were seen to be affected in 46.3% and 80.9% of the wheezing children, respectively, and parent activity was also altered in 39.3% of the cases. A relationship was found between wheezing and nursery attendance (OR 1.66, 95% confidence interval [1.19-2.31]); weight at birth >3500g (OR 1.45 [1.02-2.06]); the presence of eczema at this age (OR 2.72 [1.75-4.24]); exclusive breastfeeding for <3 months (OR 1.33 [0.98-1.81]); and maternal smoking during the last three months of pregnancy (OR 1.60 [0.96-2.68]).The prevalence of recurrent wheezing (defined as three or more episodes) was 11.9%. Significant differences were observed with respect to nursery attendance (OR 1.71 [1.08-2.72]), the presence of eczema at this age (OR 2.55 [1.48-4.42]), a history of maternal asthma (OR 2.19 [1.08-4.44]) and exclusive breastfeeding for <3 months (OR 1.53 [0.98-2.38]).

Conclusions:

In the province of Salamanca, one third of the infants studied suffered wheezing in the first year of life. Infants exclusively breastfed for less than three months; attending a nursery; having suffered eczema; or with an asthmatic mother showed significantly more wheezing than the rest. Wheezing proved recurrent in 11.9% of the cases(AU)
