EVW: episodic viral wheezing; MTW: multiple trigger wheezing
No difference was determined between the gender distribution of the
patients with negative and positive mAPI scores (p > 0.05).
A difference was determined between the ages (months) and IgE values of
the patients with negative and positive mAPI scores (p <
0.01). Patients with positive mAPI scores were older than those with
negative mAPI scores. A difference was determined in the rates of
eczema, rhinitis, eosinophilia, fx5 food allergy, phdiotop inhaler
allergy and prick skin test positivity in patients with negative and
positive mAPI scores (p < 0.01), and these were higher in
patients with positive mAPI scores. A difference was determined between
the rates of EVW and MTW in patients with negative and positive mAPI
scores (p < 0.001). Modified API was determined positive in
16.8% of children with EVW, while 90.9% of those with MTW were
determined to be positive.
