The data were analized by SPSS13.0software. Measurement data wereshowed by χ±s and were calculated by t test. Count data were calculated with χ2.Itmeaned statistic difference if P<0.05.Results Comparing to≥5years old groups,<5years of age group of childrenhave higher incidence in autumn and winte（r（72.13%vs54.79%）, higher platelet count（287.86±90.12vs255.71±65.87）, longer hospital stay（7.37±2.83vs5.57±2.62）,higher pneumonia rate（27.87%vs6.85%） and mycoplasma infection rate（13.11%vs 2.74%）. The group of children have more times of wheezing in the past year（6.03±2.40vs0.61±1.00）, lower diagnosis rate of asthma(19.67%vs61.64%) and lowertreatment（25.00%vs71.11%）（p＜0.05）.Conclusions <5years of age group of children have stronger inflammatoryresponse,they are easy to suffer from pneumonia and mycoplasma infection,very few ofthem can be diagnosed timely and treated with poor adherence. |
