Description
Bronwyn K Brew and colleagues link mother asthma in pregnancy to child asthma in Australia and Sweden in a 2026 study. Register cohorts held 35,194 mothers with asthma in New South Wales and 102,248 in Sweden. Monthly flare and inhaled steroid records ran from a year before pregnancy to a year after birth.
Steroid use held steady in pregnancy, then fell after birth while oral steroid use rose in the reported patterns. Child asthma risk ran higher after mother flares and after steroid use in adjusted models for both countries. Yet father exposure links and sibling checks pointed to hidden family traits as the true driver. Asthma control in pregnancy stays a priority, the authors stress.
