Risk factors for early wheezing in preterm infants: a retrospective cohort study
Lower gestational age is associated with higher wheezing risk. Preterm infants have higher persistent wheezing incidence than full-term infants. Preterm infants with gestational age <32 weeks have higher transient wheezing incidence than those with gestational age 32-37 weeks or full-term infants. In preterm infants <32 weeks, small for gestational age (SGA) is a potential factor for wheezing. In preterm infants aged 32-37 weeks, male sex, personal allergy history, and family allergy history are potential factors for wheezing, with male sex and family allergy history being significant risk factors.
