title: [Does the moment of birth influence future atopic respiratory diseases? I. Statistical analysis].
abstract: In order to define the possible role of the time of birth on future presentation of atopic respiratory disorders an analysis of birth rates was studied according to time of birth in the following groups: 111 patients with pollinosis 145 patients non-seasonal allergic respiratory disorders, 117 patients with non-atopic respiratory disorders and 291 healthy volunteers Clinical diagnosis of atopic respiratory disease was based on the presence of conjunctivitis and/or mucosal inflammation and/or bronchial asthma. Confirmation of atopic etiology of the disorders was based on results of skin prick tests with common allergens and/or of allergen specific IgE levels. It was demonstrated that patients with respiratory disorders are born most often in the second quarter of the year. Patients with non-seasonal allergic disorders were born usually in the second and third quarter of the year. Patients that were born in the first quarter of the year developed atopic disorders less frequently.
