Résumé
Foreign Body Aspiration (FBA) is a common medical emergency among young children, but the evaluation and management of a suspected FBA case can vary across physicians and centers. We aimed to identify which clinical, laboratory, and radiological findings can predict FBA in children and to evaluate a clinical score to improve FBA prediction. This is a retrospective cohort study of patients aged 0-18 years admitted to Soroka University Medical Center between 2010 and 2020 with suspected FBA. All patients underwent flexible bronchoscopy and were divided into positive and negative FBA groups. A newly developed foreign body aspiration score (FOBAS), based on medical history, physical examination, and chest X-ray findings, was evaluated for its predictability. The study included 412 children (median age 21 months, 56.8% females), of whom 154 (37.4%) had FBA and 258 (62.6%) did not. Multivariate regression analysis showed exposure to nuts/seeds, unilateral wheezing or decreased breath sounds, stridor, and suggestive findings on chest X-ray were significant risk factors for FBA (OR [95%CI] -1.994[1.290-3.082], 1.487[1.206-1.832], 1.883 [1.011-3.509] and 2.386[1.917-2.970], respectively). However, a choking episode, acute cough, and absence of fever and rhinorrhea did not predict FBA. FOBAS showed an increased risk of FBA for each additional point of the score, with an odds ratio of 1.572 (95% CI-1.389-1.799). Conclusion: FOBAS is a good predictor for the presence of FBA in children. Once prospectively validated, FOBAS could aid in decision-making at the emergency department, enabling more standardized care, reducing unnecessary procedures, and leading to better clinical outcomes. What is Known: • The evaluation and management of a child with suspected foreign body aspiration (FBA) vary across physicians and centers, without a consensus regarding the indications and criteria for performing bronchoscopy. • Flexible bronchoscopy is the standard procedure for the diagnosis and sometimes treatment of FBA in children, but it may hold potential complications. What is New: • We propose a newly developed foreign body aspiration score (FOBAS), based on medical history, physical examination, and chest X-ray findings, for the prediction of FBA in children at the emergency department. • The FOBAS is a good predictor of FBA in children. The score enables more standardized care and may reduce unnecessary procedures.
