| Abstract | OBJECTIVES: To examine the sensitivity and specificity of history, physical examination, and radiologic studies as predictors of foreign body aspiration in children. STUDY DESIGN: Case series with chart review. SETTING: Tertiary care children's hospital. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Medical records were reviewed for 102 children who presented to our institution from 2006 to 2013 with suspected foreign body aspiration and who underwent endoscopy. Data included symptoms, physical examination, radiologic, and endoscopy findings. Descriptive statistics, sensitivity and specificity, and univariate and multivariable analyses were performed. RESULTS: A total of 102 patients were included (62% male). The mean age was 3.3 years (SD, 3.7). A foreign body was identified on endoscopy in 69 cases (68%). The most common presenting symptoms were cough (88%), choking/gagging (67%), and wheezing (57%). Decreased breath sounds and wheezing on examination were independently associated with increased odds of foreign body. The most common abnormal radiographic finding was air trapping (33%). The most frequent items retrieved were fragments of seeds and nuts (49%). There were no serious complications related to endoscopy. The sensitivity and specificity of any finding on history, physical examination, and imaging were 100% and 3%, 90% and 33%, 61% and 77%, respectively. Having a positive history, examination, and chest radiograph combined was 46% sensitive and 79% specific. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with airway foreign bodies have varied presentations. The presence of any radiologic finding suggests that endoscopy should be performed, as a foreign body is probable. The absence of any history or physical examination finding was associated with a low likelihood of a foreign body. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
