TL;DR: The meta-analysis of 10 European birth cohorts within the ESCAPE project found consistent evidence for a association between air pollution and pneumonia in early childhood, and some evidence for an association with otitis media.
Journal ArticleDOI

Wijga,Joachim Heinrich +29 more
TL;DR: This work examined cohort‐specific and combined associations of residential greenness with allergic rhinitis and aeroallergen sensitization based on individual data from Swedish, Australian, Dutch, Canadian, and German birth cohorts.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results indicated that gene‐environment interactions are important for asthma development and provided supportive evidence for interaction with air pollution for ADCY2, B4GALT5, and DLG2.
Journal ArticleDOI
GSTP1 and TNF Gene Variants and Associations between Air Pollution and Incident Childhood Asthma : The Traffic, Asthma and Genetics (TAG) Study
Elaina MacIntyre,Michael Brauer,Erik Melén,Carl Peter Bauer,Mario Bauer,Dietrich Berdel,Anna Bergström,Bert Brunekreef,Moira Chan-Yeung,Claudia Klümper,Elaine Fuertes,Ulrike Gehring,Anna Gref,Joachim Heinrich,Olf Herbarth,Marjan Kerkhof,Gerard H. Koppelman,Anita L. Kozyrskyj,Göran Pershagen,Dirkje S. Postma,Elisabeth Thiering,Carla M. T. Tiesler,Christopher Carlsten +22 more
TL;DR: Investigation of gene variants associated with oxidative stress and inflammation on associations between air pollution and incident childhood asthma found children carrying GSTP1 or TNF minor alleles may constitute a susceptible population at increased risk of asthma associated with air pollution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Otitis media incidence and risk factors in a population-based birth cohort.
Elaina MacIntyre,Catherine J. Karr,Mieke Koehoorn,Paul A. Demers,Lillian Tamburic,Cornel Lencar,Michael Brauer +6 more
TL;DR: Although the incidence of otitis media is generally low in southwestern British Columbia, important risk factors continue to be young maternal age, mothers who smoke during pregnancy and children with Aboriginal ancestry.
