Risk Factors of Recurrent Wheezing in Children Under 5 Years of Age.

Conclusion: Lower respiratory tract infection, upper respiratory tract infection, passive smoking and day care center attendance were found to be risk factors of recurrent wheezing in children under five years of age, with lower respiratory tract infection being the most risk. Targeted surveillance of these risk factors should reduce the incidence of recurrent wheezing. This is especially important for high risk patients such as asthma patients.
