Prevalence and associated factors of airway hyper- responsiveness in children with recurrent chronic cough
Keywords:

Abstract
Background Airway hyper-responsiveness (AH) is a common char-acteristic of asthma. Patient who has recurrent chronic cough with
AH is commonly referred as “cough variant asthmaâ€. Histamine
provocation test should be performed to determine whether a pa-
tient has “cough variant asthma†or recurrent viral bronchitis.
Objective To determine AH prevalence in children with recurrent
chronic cough and factors associated with it.
Methods A cross sectional study was conducted on 6-12 year-old
children with recurrent chronic cough at the Pediatrics Outpatient
Clinic, Sanglah Hospital Denpasar from September 2002 until June
2003
Results Twenty one out of 64 (33%) subjects suffering from recur-
rent chronic cough without wheezing had AH. Associated factors
significantly associated with AH were age, allergic rhinitis, pater-
nal and maternal history of atopy, passive smoking, use of mos-
quito-coil, positive skin prick test, and eosinophilia. Spearman cor-
relation analysis between associated factors and AH showed that
positive skin prick test and passive smoking were moderately cor-
related with AH (r=0.56, p<0.0001; r=0.57, p<0.0001, respectively),
whereas multivariate regression logistic analysis on associated
factors found true associated factors, such as positive skin prick
test (p=0.01; OR=14.82), history of atopy in father (p=0.02;
OR=22.75), and passive smoking (p=0.03; OR=11.97).
Conclusions The prevalence of airway hyper-responsiveness in
children with recurrent chronic cough without history of wheezing
was 33%. Independent associated factors of AH in recurrent chronic
cough children are positive skin prick test, history of atopy in fa-
ther, and passive smoking
