This paper presents an analysis of children suffering from bronchial asthma (BA) and atopic dermatitis (AD) of the frequency visits to the allergological hospital in Rostov-on-Don for 2017-2019.
Results. It was found that patients with BA (75.33%) required the most frequent hospital admissions compared to patients with AD (24.67%) (p = 0.02). In addition, children of primary school age (87.65%) and adolescents (91.47%) were statistically significantly more likely to suffer from BA, while infants (89.43%) were more likely to suffer from AD. Male patients predominate (60.51%). The maximum frequency of exacerbations of BA is observed from March to October and decreases in the winter months. At the same time, among children with AD, a significant increase in the frequency of requests for inpatient care was noted at the beginning of the year, followed by a decrease in the autumn-winter period.
Conclusion. Monitoring the frequency of visits to children with allergopathology allows us to identify not only the age and gender characteristics of patients, but also to predict the peaks of exacerbations of the disease in them.
