Abstract

Objetivo: Determinar la relación entre enfermedad por reflujo gastroesofágico y asma bronquial en la población pediátrica del hospital Nacional del niño sede Breña entre los años 2017-2018. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional analítico tipo casos y controles no emparejado de razón 1 caso para 2 controles, con un total de 45 casos y 90 controles, se realizó un muestreo probabilístico aleatorio simple, con una recolección retrospectiva para las variables asma bronquial, ERGE, esofagitis inducida por ERGE, prematuridad, lactancia materna interrumpida, sexo y edad. Se realizó un modelo de regresión logística bivariado y múltiple para la obtención del Odds Ratio para la fuerza de asociación. Resultados: Se encontró una diferencia estadísticamente significativa para ERGE (p=0,002), siendo 33,33% y 11,11% para los casos y controles, así como para lactancia interrumpida (p=0,013); por análisis de regresión logística múltiple las variables ERGE (OR 4,27, p=0,003, IC 1,64-10,92) y lactancia materna interrumpida (OR 2,74, P=0,011, IC 1,26-5,97) presentaron relación para asma bronquial. Conclusión: Se encontró una relación entre ERGE y asma bronquial la cual puede ser extrapolada a la población pediátrica de la ciudad de Lima, este es el primer artículo publicado al respecto a nivel nacional, se recomiendan estudios prospectivos para determinar causalidad.

English Abstract

Objective: To determine the relationship between gastroesophageal reflux disease and bronchial asthma in the pediatric population of the National Children's Hospital Breña headquarters between the years 2017-2018. Methods: An analytical observational study of cases and controls was not matched, with a ratio of 1 case to 2 controls, with a total of 45 cases and 90 controls, a simple random probability sampling was performed, with a retrospective collection for the variables bronchial asthma, GERD, GERDinduced esophagitis, prematurity, interrupted breastfeeding, sex and age. A bivariate and multiple logistic regression model was performed to obtain the Odds Ratio for the strength of association. Results: A statistically significant difference was found for GERD (p = 0.002), being 33.33% and 11.11% for cases and controls, as well as for interrupted lactation (p = 0.013); by multiple logistic regression analysis the variables GERD (OR 4.27, p = 0.003, CI 1.64-10.92) and interrupted breastfeeding (OR 2.74, P = 0.011, CI 1.26-5.97 ) presented a relationship for bronchial asthma. Conclusion: A relationship was found between GERD and bronchial asthma which can be extrapolated to the pediatric population of the city of Lima, this is the first article published in this regard at the national level, prospective studies are recommended to determine causality.
