Prevalence of asthma and allergic factors associated with other allergic diseases in pregnant women
asthma and allergic factors in pregnant women
Abstract
Abstract
Aims: Asthma and allergic disorders can effect on outcome of pregnancy. Asthma and allergies are common comorbidities during pregnancy and exacerbations are major clinical problem. Results are not consistent between studies .Therefore, this study with aim of frequency of asthma and allergic disease was performed.
Materials and methods: This prospective cohort study took part at the antenatal clinic of Mobini Hospital in Iran. Overall, 1603 women were enrolled prior to the 24th week of pregnancy. All participants were interviewed for allergy disease, allergic trigger factors and severity of asthma .Also asthma control was categorized as per GINA guidelines. The diagnosis of asthma was based on symptoms, pulmonologist diagnosis, and spirometry assessment. The results were analyzed using SPSS version 20 and T-tests and chi-square test.
Results: The prevalence of asthma during pregnancy was 2.1%, among them. Most common allergen in asthmatic group was pollen stress and climate. There was Significant relationship between age, education and life place in asthmatic and non-asthmatic group observed (P =0.0 03, p=0.05, p=0.008) respectively. Asthma symptoms had significant relationship in two groups (p=0.001). There was significant relationship between asthma in asthmatic women with other allergic diseases including eczema, allergy, rhinitis, and wheeze a significant relationship between wheeze and coughing and allergy.
Conclusions: Exposure of the pregnant women to high levels of allergens like pollen and allergic diseases resulted in an increased risk of pregnancy outcomes. Careful management of them should prevent most of the serious complications.
