Epidemiology of bronchial asthma in prematural children: meta-analysis
The aim of the work is to analyze the prevalence of bronchial asthma (BA) in premature babies according to epidemiological studies. An epidemiological study was conducted on the prevalence of asthma in premature babiesin the PubMed, Cochrane Library, ReSearchGate databases for 1996-2016. A high statistically significantprevalence of BA among premature infants was established compared with the incidence of BA in term infantsin the population. Thus, prematurity is a predictor of BA in children.
