Background: Evidence is mounting that domestic use of disinfectants and cleaning products (DCP), particularly in spray form, is associated with wheezing in children. Beyond the home environment, many children are also exposed to DCP in daycare. The links between daycare exposures to DCP and child respiratory health have never before been studied.

The aim of this study was to determine allergenic sensitization profiles in a megacity cohort (SAMP).
Methods: This was a cross-sectional analysis performed from 2011 to 2015 including preschool and school-age children with severe and moderate asthma from the SAMP cohort.
Background: Unnecessary dietary eliminations may impair quality of life, affect children's growth, and negatively impact healthcare costs. Previous studies reported that around 11 % to 28 % of children continue a food-avoidance diet despite a negative oral food challenge (OFC).
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the actual consumption at home of the tested food after a negative OFC and the reasons reported by families in the case of persistent avoidance.
Introduction: Despite improvements in long-term asthma treatment, an increasing number of children are being hospitalized in pediatric intensive care units (PICU) for asthma. The main objective of this study was to describe a recent cohort of children hospitalized in PICU for asthma to identify risk factors associated with a need for respiratory support, and multiple PICU stays.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study in three PICUs in Paris (intensive care units 3A Study), using medical files of children hospitalized for asthma between February 2019 and October 2020.
