Main Article Content
Abstract
Wheezing is one of the most common respiratory symptoms in children. Many diseases have wheezing symptom. This study was to describe the characteristics of wheezing in children. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 200 children presenting with wheezing at the Pediatrics Department of Hanoi Medical University’ Hospital from July 2024 to June 2025. Results: Bronchiolitis was the most common cause of wheezing in children under 12 months of age and was often associated with an early-onset wheezing phenotype, typically seen in initial wheezing episodes. In contrast, bronchial asthma was more commonly observed in children over 24 months of age and was usually associated with persistent, recurrent wheezing and a late-onset wheezing phenotype. Conclusion: The wheezing onset phenotypes have valuable in orienting the causes of wheezing.
