Abstract

Objective To systematically review the prevalence of pediatric asthma in the rural areas of China, and to provide data for the prevention and treatment of pediatric asthma. Methods PubMed, Cochrane, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, and Embase were searched for cross-sectional studies on the prevalence of pediatric asthma in the rural areas of China published up to August 31, 2019. Two researchers independently conducted preliminary screening and data extraction. Stata 14.0 and R software were used to perform a Meta analysis of prevalence rate. Subgroup analysis was also performed. Results A total of 24 articles were reviewed, with a sample size of 212 814 children, among whom there were 3 254 children with asthma, with an overall prevalence rate of 2.02% (95%CI: 1.67%-2.36%). Boys had a significantly higher prevalence rate than girls (3.64% vs 2.03%, P < 0.001). The annual prevalence rate increased from 1.21% in 1990-1999 to 3.36% in 2011-2015. The prevalence rate of pediatric asthma was 3.15% in South China, which was higher than that in East China (2.31%), Southwest China (2.15%), North China (1.19%), and Central China (1.12%). Preschool children had the highest prevalence rate of 2.63%, followed by infants and young children (2.48%) and school-age children (1.41%). Conclusions The prevalence rate of pediatric asthma is relatively low but tends to increase in the rural areas of China. Boys have a higher prevalence rate of asthma than girls, and the prevalence rate is higher in South China. Preschool children have the highest prevalence rate.
