3 In This Lecture 1. ISAAC: The International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood 2. Some commonly held beliefs have they been changed by ISAAC? 3. What is happening in New Zealand?

7 International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood ISAAC studies three conditions Asthma Rhinitis Eczema
8 ISAAC how did it start?
9 ISAAC Formed in 1991 From Two Initiatives 1. Does New Zealand have more severe asthma than other English speaking countries? (NZ asthma deaths and admissions were high) 2. Monitoring trends and underlying causes of asthma and allergies in childhood following the fall of the Berlin wall. (genetically similar populations, different environments)
10 Rationale of ISAAC Increasing concern about asthma and allergies. A fresh look was needed with a world population view between populations rather than within populations. Most of world not yet studied may add something. A standardised and coordinated approach was needed to obtain comparable worldwide data.
11 Few Centres With Information on Prevalence* of Asthma Symptoms in Children up to 1991 * Prevalence = how common it is
12 ISAAC: 306 research centres in 105 countries
13 Organisation of ISAAC Local collaborating centres National coordinators International Data Centre (Auckland) Regional coordinators Steering Committee (IA Chair)
14 Funders of The ISAAC Programme in New Zealand The Auckland Medical Research Foundation The Health Research Council of NZ The Asthma and Respiratory Foundation of NZ The National Child Health Research Foundation The Hawke's Bay Medical Research Foundation The Waikato Medical Research Foundation Glaxo Wellcome NZ, and International Medical Affairs Astra NZ Maurice & Phyllis Paykel Trust BUPA Foundation NZ Lotteries Commission The University of Auckland

16 Asthma, rhinitis and eczema Commonly held beliefs in 1991 o o o o Diseases of only affluent western countries More severe in affluent than non-affluent countries On the increase in western countries Strongly associated with allergy
17 Asthma, rhinitis and eczema Commonly held beliefs in 1991 o o o More allergen exposure is causing the high rates of asthma and rhinitis Air pollution is a key reason for high rates of asthma Genetics will explain differences in asthma rates
18 ISAAC what did we do?
19 The ISAAC Programme ISAAC Phase One Worldwide prevalence (questionnaires) ISAAC Phase One ecological analyses ISAAC Phase Two Questionnaires & additional markers ISAAC Phase Three Repetition of Phase One Addition of more centres Environmental questionnaire
20 ISAAC Methods: Phases One & Three Multicentre cross-sectional studies of children in randomly sampled schools year olds and optional 6-7 year olds per age group per centre. Standardised validated simple written questionnaires (optional video asthma questionnaire in year olds). Asher MI et al. Eur Respir J 1995; 8: Ellwood P et al. Int J Tub Lung Dis 2005; 9:
21
22 ISAAC Methods: Phase Two Similar, but these differences: Smaller number of children, centres and countries year old children. Addition of child contact modules including allergy skin prick tests and IgE. Weiland SK et al. Eur Respir J 2004; 24:
23 How many took part? ISAAC Phase Three Countries Centres Participants Response Rate (%) year , year ,811 85
24 The Prevalence of Asthma Symptoms Between Populations Current wheeze definition Yes to: Have you (Has your child) had wheezing or whistling in the chest in the past 12 months?
25 Definition of Symptoms of Severe Asthma Current wheeze and at least one of: 4 attacks of wheeze 1 night per week sleep disturbance from wheeze wheeze limiting speech Lai CKW et al. Thorax 2009; 64:
26 ISAAC what did we find?
27 Asthma, rhinitis and eczema: diseases of ONLY affluent western countries?

39 Asthma, rhinitis and eczema: on the increase in western countries?

45 Asthma, rhinitis and eczema: on the increase in western countries? PARTLY TRUE
46 Is air pollution a key reason for high rates of asthma?
47 No relationship between air pollution and symptoms of asthma Exposure Direction of Association Air pollution - Asher MI et al. Resp Research 2010; 11: 8.
48 What about trucks?
49 Current wheeze & truck traffic in street of residence almost the whole day vs never (13-14 yr olds) Odds Ratio 1.35 ( ) Brunekreef B, et al. Environ Health Perspect 2009; 117:
50 Current wheeze & truck traffic in street of residence almost the whole day vs never (13-14 yr olds) Odds Ratio 1.35 ( ) Brunekreef B, et al. Environ Health Perspect 2009; 117:
51 Is air pollution a key reason for high rates of asthma? NOT TRUE but truck traffic causes more asthma symptoms in some children More study needed!
52 Which other environmental factors may influence how common asthma, rhinitis and eczema symptoms are in populations?
53 Current Wheeze and Gross National Income (GNI), Year Age Group Current Wheeze (%) GNI Per Capita (US$) Lai CKW et al. Thorax 2009; 64: World Bank. Data for 2001; (accessed 8 October 2007).
54 Current wheeze and tobacco consumption Exposure Direction of Association Tobacco (females) Asher MI et al. Resp Research 2010; 11: 8.
55 Exposures in the child first year of life and symptoms (individual questionnaires) Fully adjusted Odds Ratio (95%CI) Antibiotic use in the 1 st year of life Paracetamol use in the 1 st year of life 1.70 ( ) 1.46 ( ) Foliaki S et al. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2009; 124: Beasley R et al. Lancet 2008; 372:
56 Which dietary factors are important?
57 Current Wheeze and Diet Exposure Direction of Association Burger consumption Trans fatty acids Plant based foods Fresh fruit Fresh vegetables Fish Mediterranean diet Nagel G et al. Thorax 2010; 65:
58 Protective Effect of Breastfeeding Countries Current wheezers Non-allergic Allergic Low and middle income countries High income countries protective no effect no effect no effect Nagel G, et al. Eur Respir J 2009; 33:
59 Is more allergen exposure causing the high rates of asthma and rhinitis?
60 Lower rates of rhinitis with high pollen in centres Exposure Direction of Association Pollens Asher MI et al. Resp Research 2010; 11: 8.
61 Is more allergen exposure causing the high rates of asthma and rhinitis? NOT TRUE
62 Asthma, rhinitis and eczema: strongly associated with allergy?
63 Association of Current Wheeze & Skin Prick Test Reactivity Weinmayr G et al. Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2007; 176:

69 Asthma, rhinitis and eczema: strongly associated with allergy? NOT STRONGLY
70 Is genetics explaining differences in asthma rates?
71 Asthma and eczema genetics o o o o o Massive developments in genetics over 20 years Have completed genome-wide association and interactions studies (GWAS & GWIS) In largest study ever - 15 billion genotypes - very few associations found, none new None useful predictors of disease in individual people Findings explain only a fraction of the familial aggregation o EXCEPTION is the fillaggrin gene mutations & eczema
72 Asthma Childhood onset Loci associated with IgE were not associated with asthma Moffatt MF et al for the GABRIEL Consortium. A large-scale, consortium-based genomewide association study of asthma N Engl J Med 2010; 363(13):
73 Is genetics explaining differences in asthma rates? NOT YET
74 Asthma, rhinitis and eczema Commonly held beliefs in 1991 o Diseases of only affluent western countries NOT TRUE o More severe in affluent than non-affluent countries NOT TRUE o o On the increase in western countries PARTLY TRUE Strongly associated with allergy NOT STRONGLY
75 Asthma, rhinitis and eczema Commonly held beliefs in 1991 o More allergen exposure is causing the high rates of asthma and rhinitis NOT TRUE o Air pollution is a key reason for high rates of asthma NOT TRUE but watch out for trucks... o Genetics will explain differences in asthma rates NOT YET
76 Further directions Asthma rhinitis and eczema symptoms are a big global problem, and the global burden is increasing more research needed. Environmental factors are key, and we need to find out which matter most, especially in low and middle income countries. Understand the mechanisms of and influences on nonallergic asthma. Deliver good asthma, rhinitis and eczema management to all children with asthma in the world.

84 Addressing the Inequalities in NZ What have we done to try to make some improvements? Paediatric asthma guideline discussed some issues. More Maori and Pacific health providers. Pharmac/BPAC working to lower reliever:preventer prescriptions in Maori and Pacific ( Space to breathe ).
85 Addressing the Inequalities in NZ What needs to be done? Address the root disparities in the underlying influences on health through government policy. see Address all the recommendations of He Mate Huangō 1991 including Reduce cost of doctors visits and prescriptions Improve housing
