LID - 10.1111/pai.13822 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Although studies have investigated the association between early-life exposure to fine particulate matter (PM(2.5) ) and childhood asthma/wheezing, results are inconsistent and the susceptible exposure window remains largely unknown. METHODS: A prospective birth cohort study was conducted to recruit pregnant women during their early pregnancy, and to follow up them and their children up to 3-4 years old. Diagnosis of asthma/wheezing was extracted from children's medical records. A spatiotemporal land-use regression (ST-LUR) model was used to assess maternal exposure to PM(2.5) during pregnancy and their children's exposure after birth. The Cox proportional hazards model and accelerated failure time model (for violation of proportional hazards assumption) were applied to estimate the effects of prenatal and postnatal exposures to PM(2.5) on the risk of childhood asthma/wheezing. RESULTS: A total of 3725 children were included, and 392 children (10.52%) were diagnosed with asthma/wheezing. Both prenatal and postnatal exposures to PM(2.5) were positively associated with the risk of asthma/wheezing. Each interquartile range (IQR) increment in PM(2.5) exposure during the entire pregnancy (4.8 mug/m(3) ) and the period from birth to the end of follow-up (1.5 mug/m(3) ) was associated with adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) of 1.44 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.13, 1.85] and 2.74 (95% CI: 2.59, 2.91), respectively. Subgroup analyses showed greater HRs for PM(2.5) exposures during the pseudoglandular stage (6-16 gestational weeks [GWs]: IQR = 4.8 mug/m(3) , HR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.02, 1.18) and canalicular stage (16-24 GWs: IQR = 4.8 mug/m(3) , HR = 1.13, 95% CI:1.03, 1.23) than other stages, and also showed significant effects in the first three-year period after birth (IQR = 1.5 mug/m(3) , HR = 2.37, 95% CI: =2.24, 2.51). CONCLUSION: Higher prenatal and postnatal PM(2.5) exposures may increase the risk of childhood asthma/wheezing. The pseudoglandular stage, canalicular stage, and the first three years after birth may be key susceptible to exposure windows. CI - (c) 2022 EAACI and John Wiley and Sons A/S.
