[An analysis of the information value of certain factors in the prognosis of the severe form of bronchial asthma in adolescents].
A total of 150 children of pubertal age, who had bronchial asthma were examined. An in-depth analysis of those factors promoting the development of a grave form of the condition in the examined children permitted the selection of five of them, that have statistically significant effects on formation of this pathology: sex, concurrent skin afflictions, early onset of the illness. Improper treatment, abuse of antibiotics. With the aid of the logistic regression technique there has been developed a mathematical model that permits the prognostication of severity of bronchial asthma course at pubertal age to be carried out on an individual basis.
