Abstract:	BackgroundWe conducted a cohort study to determine the relationship between enterovirus (EV) infection and asthma. Materials and methodsFrom the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan, we identified patients who received a new diagnosis of asthma and concurrent treatment between January 2000 and December 2011 (EV cohort: n=208213; non-EV cohort: n=208213). Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was performed to determine and compare the adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) of asthma between these 2 cohorts. Kaplan-Meier analysis was conducted to assess the differences in the cumulative incidence curves of asthma between the 2 cohorts. ResultsThe overall aHR of asthma was 1.48-fold higher in the EV cohort than in the non-EV cohort (95% confidence interval=1.45-1.50). The aHR of asthma was higher in the EV cohort than in the non-EV cohort, comprising children aged 5years, regardless of sex, sociodemographic factors (urbanization level and parental occupation) or comorbidities. The risk of asthma was higher in 1-3, 4-6, 7-9 and 10-12months (all P<.001), particularly in those with a higher frequency of admission (>5 per year). ConclusionThe incidence of asthma was higher in the EV cohort than in the non-EV cohort, comprising children aged 5years, regardless of sex, urbanization level, parental occupation or season. In particular, the risk of asthma was higher in children with a higher frequency of admission, even in the absence of atopy or other respiratory infections.
