Objetivos: Determinar la cobertura vacunal y los factores asociados con la vacunación antigripal en los niños españoles que padecen asma. Métodos: Se han analizado los registros individuos menores de 18 años incluidos en la Encuesta Nacional de Salud (ENS) de España del año 2003. Se han seleccionado para este trabajo los sujetos que declaran padecer asma. Como variable dependiente se ha utilizado la respuesta (sio no) a la pregunta, Querríamos saber si su hijo se ha vacunadode la gripe en la última campaña. Se analiza la influenza de variables sociodemográficas, estilos de vida, comorbilidad, percepción de la salud y uso de servicios sanitarios sobre la vacunación antigripal y se describe quién le indicó la vacunación al niño. Resultados: Se han analizado los registros de 6.869 individuos de ellos 313 (4,6%) declaraban padecer asma y el 19,9% señalaban haberse vacunado frente a la gripe en la ultima campaña. Entre los niños no asmáticos la cobertura era del 4,6%.(p<0,05)El único factor asociado significativamente con la vacunación antigripal en los niños asma fue el nivel de ingresos en el hogar, demostrándose que los que viven en hogares con mayor nivel de ingresos tenían mayor probabilidad de estar vacunados. La recomendación por parte el medico es el motivo señalado mayoritariamente para haber sido vacunado de la gripe. Conclusiones: Concluimos que las coberturas vacunales antigripales entre los niños asmáticos españoles son injustificablemente bajas y se hace imprescindible que se tomen medidas urgentes para mejorarlas
Objectives: To ascertain anti-influenza vaccination coverage and factors associated with anti-influenza vaccination among Spanish children suffering asthma. Methods: We analyzed data of subjects age under 18 years included in the Spanish National Health Survey (ENS) for 2003. We selected those children whose parents declared to be asthmatic. As a dependent variable, we used the reply (yes or no) to the question: Was your child vaccinated against influenza during the last campaign?. We analyzed the influence variables regarding sociodemographic characteristics, life styles, comorbility, self rated health and use of health services on vaccination. The reason for vaccination is described. Results: Finally 6.869 children were analyzed, 313 (4.6%) were classified as asthmatics and the vaccination coverage for the last campaign was 19.9%. Among those without asthma coverage reached only 4.6% (p<0.05). The only factor significantly associated with anti-influenza vaccination in children with asthma was household income: those from homes with a higher level of income were more likely to be vaccinated. The main reason for vaccination in the infant population was Recommendationby the physician. Conclusions: Anti-influenza vaccination coverage in the Spanish asthmatic infant population is unjustifiably low. Strategies must be implemented urgently to improve such low coverages
