Infant wheezing precludes reliable asthma risk prediction; leaves open causal links pending standardized definitions and confounder control.
Is wheezing illness in infancy related to subsequent asthma?
The text discusses the complex relationship between infant bronchiolitis/wheezing and the subsequent development of asthma.
Louis I. Landau (1994) conducted a review in Bronchiolitis and asthma. Wheezing illness in infancy was evaluated on Subsequent asthma. The relationship between wheezing illness in infancy and subsequent asthma remains difficult to study due to numerous confounding influences and challenges in defining the outcome entity.
