Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the potential link between cesarean section births and an increased risk of asthma admissions in children aged 7 to 16, as both cesarean rates and asthma prevalence have risen in recent years.
- Using a retrospective case-control approach, researchers compared 145 asthmatic patients who had been admitted to the hospital and 155 controls without asthma, focusing on their birth delivery methods.
- The results showed a slightly higher cesarean section rate among asthmatic patients (18.6%) compared to controls (14.2%), but this difference was not statistically significant, indicating no clear association between cesarean birth and asthma risk.
Article Synopsis
- Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart condition, and this study aimed to analyze its characteristics in children and teens aged 0-18 using a Spanish registry.* -
- Data was collected from 1681 pediatric patients across 33 hospitals, showing that most were male (69.6%), with 63.7% having isolated BAV and 23.4% having associated left-sided heart conditions.* -
- The findings provide a comprehensive overview of the clinical features and outcomes of BAV in the pediatric population, marking the first large-scale population-based study on this topic in Spain.*
