Background: Obesity has been linked with poor asthma control and decreased response to inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). However, other studies have refuted these claims.
Objective: To determine if weight status has a dose–response relationship with time to first exacerbation among children with asthma.
Method: A historical cohort study was conducted from a clinical database that was linked to health and drug administrative databases. The cohort consisted of children aged 2–18 years with specialist-confirmed asthma, who consulted with the Asthma Centre (AC) of the Montreal Children’s Hospital between April 1st, 2000 and September 31st, 2007 in Quebec, Canada. We included children initiating higher-dose ICS monotherapy (MT) or ICS combination therapy (CT) at the clinic index date. We excluded children with: bronchopulmonary dysplasia, cystic fibrosis, or no public drug insurance coverage. The cohort end date was the date of first exacerbation, end of health insurance coverage, or end of 1-year follow-up, whichever occurred first. Sex-specific BMI for age percentiles were calculated using the WHO growth charts. Exacerbation was defined as an emergency department visit, hospital admission, or use of oral corticosteroids for asthma. A Cox model was used to assess the dose response between weight status, i.e. using BMI percentile categories, on the hazard of first exacerbation.
Results: 328 children were incident users of ICS MT (N = 231) or ICS CT (N = 97), with 234 (65.9%) events during follow-up. When compared to children in the 44th BMI percentile or less category, those belonging to the 45th to 64th BMI percentile class had a HR of 2.25 (95% CI 0.93–5.41), 65th to 84th BMI percentile had a HR of 4.35 (95% CI 0.99–19.01), and 85th BMI percentile or more had a HR of 8.36 (95% CI 1.09–64.08).
Conclusions: This study is the first to demonstrate the dose–response relationship between weight status and exacerbation-free time in pediatric asthma.
