Journal of Asthma Oct 19, 2019
Bably M, et al. - Including 400 children from the Koohi Goth Women’s Hospital, this study was undertaken to assess childhood asthma, asthma symptoms, and mental and developmental comorbidities in relation to prenatal exposure to cleaning and scented products among low-income families in Karachi, Pakistan. In order to determine the link between the use of cleaning and scented products during pregnancy and seven different outcome variables, researchers used multivariable logistic regression analysis. In relation to the use of cleaning products or scented products during pregnancy by mothers, they reported significantly elevated odds of nocturnal cough among children. The use of scented products by mothers during pregnancy was associated with threefold elevated mental health comorbidities among children. Prenatal use of cleaning or scented products was not statistically significantly related to current asthma status or nocturnal symptoms of wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness among children.
