Abstract

 Background: Increasing of childhood allergic diseases throughout the world and its heavy socioeconomic burden have posed an important health concern. Therefore, providing the updated relevant epidemiological information is robustly recommended.Objectives: The study aimed to determine the PREVALENCE of ASTHMA, ALLERGIC RHINITIS (AR), and eczema symptoms in primary school children aged 6 - 7 years and ascertain the association of acetaminophen use, antibiotic consumption, and hospitalization for respiratory infection in early life with allergic symptoms.Methods: In this cross-sectional study conducted on primary school children aged 6 - 7 years from May to July 2012 in Tehran (Iran), a total of 4993 individuals took part. Cluster sampling was used for random selection of primary schools. Data were gathered by using a modified questionnaire of international study of ASTHMA and allergies in childhood (ISAAC). Then, the questionnaires were completed by parents of the children.Results: The PREVALENCE rates of current wheeze, wheeze ever, current itching rash, itchy rash ever, and rhinitis ever were found to be 19.64%, 27.49%, 8.95%, 8.28%, and 21.87%, respectively. Physician-diagnosed ASTHMA, eczema, and AR were reported in 4.32%, 7.29%, and 9.61% of children, respectively. Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that antibiotic use was significantly associated with symptoms of ALLERGIC RHINITIS (P=0.001). Also, the strongest association was found between ASTHMA and ATOPIC DERMATITIS symptoms and hospitalization due to respiratory infection in early life by multivariate analysis (P=0.002 and P=0.009, respectively).Conclusions: This study determined the rising pattern of allergic symptoms in 6 - 7 year old children in Tehran. Moreover, acetaminophen/ antibiotic use and hospitalization due to respiratory infection in early life were detected as significant RISK FACTORS for the appearance of childhood allergic symptoms.
