Risk assessment for the bronchial asthma development in infants using a russian-language version of questionnaire «Asthma Prediction Tool»

The bronchial asthma is one of the most common chronical disease in the children; it has the high medical and social significance. The bronchial asthma onset is reported for 70–80% of the children in the early childhood. However, the disease in this age period is not diagnosed in many cases, and the patients are not treated efficiently. The purpose of the study is to try the Russian-language version of the questionnaire “Asthma Prediction Tool”. The questionnaire of 49 parents of the infants with the bronchial obstruction syndrome was carried out. According to the questionnaire results, it was determined that more than half of  the children (59.2%) had low risk, 36.7% – average risk and 4.1% – high risk to develop the bronchial asthma in the next 5 years. So, the questionnaire “Asthma Prediction Tool” may prove to be the convenient and useful additional tool in future to assess the risks of developing of this disease in the children for the nearest 5 years, correlating well with the usually assessed sign pattern, specifying the bronchial asthma in the patients suffered the bronchial obstruction syndrome in the early childhood.
