We have done research into data obtained from 117 pregnant women with bronchial asthma and their children. The average age of mothers was 27,7±5,2 years. Most mothers developed the disease before the age of 16 (88 mothers; 75,2%); 29 mothers got ill when they were over 16 years of age (24.8%) (“child” and “adult” bronchial asthma respectively). We have researched medical data of 117 children born from these mothers: 64 boys (54.7%) and 53 girls (45.2%). Over 70% of the children reached the age of 7-9 by the end of the observation period. Children born by caesarean section developed bronchial asthma 1.5 times more often than children born naturally. Children who had been breastfed for over 4 months had significantly lower incidence of atopic dermatitis than children fed artificially (14% and 32.7% respectively; χ2-4,5042, p=0,033). Children born from mothers with “child” asthma phenotype more often developed bronchial asthma by the age of 7 (p=0.034, χ2=4,4929). Children born from mothers with “child” asthma phenotype run a 3-fold higher risk of developing bronchial asthma than those whose mothers had “adult” asthma phenotype (OR = 3,042[CI:1,013 – 9,132]).ConclusionThe research has confirmed the significance of hereditary load, maternal asthma phenotype, mode of child delivery, and baby feeding for development of allergic diseases in children.
