The intersection between asthma and acute chest syndrome in children with sickle-cell anaemia

Abstract

Acute chest syndrome is a frequent cause of acute lung disease in children with sickle-cell disease. Asthma is common in children with sickle-cell disease and is associated with increased incidence of vaso-occlusive pain events, acute chest syndrome episodes, and earlier death. Risk factors for asthma exacerbation and an acute chest syndrome episode are similar, and both can present with shortness of breath, chest pain, cough, and wheezing. Despite overlapping risk factors and symptoms, an acute exacerbation of asthma or an episode of acute chest syndrome are two distinct entities that need disease-specific management strategies. Although understanding has increased about asthma as a comorbidity in sickle-cell disease and its effects on morbidity, substantial gaps remain in knowledge about best management.

  • Bronchial hyper-reactivity, asthma, and chronic airway inflammation are highly prevalent in children with sickle cell disease and may result in a proinflammatory milieu that amplifies cellular and humoral immunity to airway pathogens, leading to a paroxysmal, detrimental response.

    “Bronchial hyper-reactivity, asthma, and chronic airway inflammation (209) are highly prevalent in children with SCD and may result in a proinflammatory milieu that amplifies cellular and humoral immunity to airway pathogens, thus leading to a paroxysmal, detrimental response (210, 211).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
