Abstract

Objective: To study the influence of school holidays on paediatric admissions with wheezing. Design, setting and patients: Retrospective analysis of all admissions due to wheeze in the paediatric age group. Regional hospital catering for all such admissions, subdivided by age group. Outcome measures: Comparison of hospitalisations due to wheezing before, during and after school holiday periods. Results: Summated admissions showed an increase in admissions over the Christmas period for preschool children, and a decrease for school age children. In Easter and at the start of the summer holidays, admissions decreased in all age groups, except for the late school age group which showed increased admissions in April-May. After the summer holidays, a rise in admissions was noted for all ages. Conclusions: Our findings support the multiphenotypic theory for the precipitation of wheezy attacks, with a changeover from a predominantly viral respiratory trigger to a more atopic form of the disease at around 10 years of age. Prophylaxis during school periods is especially important, and advice leading to prophylaxis dose reduction in the benign summer months should be accompanied by advice to restart adequate prophylaxis medication prior to restarting school., peer-reviewed
