Journal ArticleDOI
Asthma and wheezing in the first six years of life. The Group Health Medical Associates.
Fernando D. Martinez,Anne L. Wright,Lynn M. Taussig,Catharine J. Holberg,Marilyn Halonen,Wayne J. Morgan +5 more
TL;DR: Children who started wheezing in early life and continued to wheeze at the age of six were more likely than the children who never wheezed to have mothers with a history of asthma, but do not have increased risks of asthma or allergies later in life.
Journal ArticleDOI
International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC): rationale and methods.
M. I. Asher,U. Keil,H. R. Anderson,Richard Beasley,J. Crane,Fernando D. Martinez,Ed A. Mitchell,Neil Pearce,B. Sibbald,Alistair Stewart,David P. Strachan,Stephan K. Weiland,Hywel C Williams +12 more
TL;DR: The International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC), was founded to maximize the value of epidemiological research into asthma and allergic disease, by establishing a standardized methodology and facilitating international collaboration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of asthma with serum IgE levels and skin-test reactivity to allergens.
TL;DR: It is concluded that asthma is almost always associated with some type of IgE-related reaction and therefore has an allergic basis, although not all the allergic stimuli that cause asthma appear to have been included in the battery of common aeroallergens the authors used to assess atopic status.
Journal ArticleDOI
Respiratory syncytial virus in early life and risk of wheeze and allergy by age 13 years.
Renato T. Stein,Duane L. Sherrill,Wayne J. Morgan,Catharine J. Holberg,Marilyn Halonen,Lynn M. Taussig,Anne L. Wright,Fernando D. Martinez +7 more
TL;DR: RSV lower respiratory tract illnesses in early childhood are an independent risk factor for the subsequent development of wheezing up to age 11 years but not at age 13, and this association is not caused by an increased risk of allergic sensitisation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A clinical index to define risk of asthma in young children with recurrent wheezing.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the subsequent development of asthma can be predicted with reasonable accuracy using simple, clinically based parameters.
