What is Implications of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Asthma Control and Socioeconomic Factors in Inner-City Cohort: A Rapid Online Cross-Sectional Survey about?
RATIONALE: Children born in urban minority populations are at higher risk of respiratory morbidity, including lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. There is a critical need to identify risk and protective factors for LRTI in this vulnerable population. METHODS: We examined 3,131 mother-child dyads from the Boston Birth Cohort (BBC), a predominantly urban, low-income, minority birth cohort, aiming to identify prenatal and perinatal predictors of LRTI during infancy (0-12 months). LRTI were defined as the presence of bronchiolitis, bronchitis, or pneumonia, as documented by ICD9/10 diagnosis codes from electronic medical records. LRTI predictors were selected using Akaike's Information Criteria (AIC) and stepwise logistic regression. RESULTS: The strongest predictors of LRTI during infancy in this population were preterm birth (adjOR51.64, 95%CI 1.31-2.05), multiparity (adjOR51.53, 95%CI 1.20-1.96), male sex (adjOR 1.43, 95%CI 1.15-1.77) and maternal overweight and obesity (adjOR51.37, 95% CI1.09-1.71). Breastfeeding (adjOR 0.73 95%CI 0.57-0.93), vaginal delivery (adjOR 0.75, 95%CI 0.60-0.94) and maternal age 24-35 years (adjOR 0.65 95%CI 0.50-0
