BACKGROUND: @entity354 ( @entity354 ) is a @entity600 that can lead to persistent @entity1576 in adulthood. AIM: To describe the prevalence of @entity1576 in adulthood in a population-based study of @entity1 with repaired @entity354 and to compare this with the prevalence in the general population. METHODS: Of 80 @entity1 operated for @entity354 in Gothenburg in 1968-1983, 79 were located. The @entity1 received a questionnaire on @entity1576 . Controls were 4979 gender- and age-matched subjects who answered the same questions. RESULTS: The questionnaire was answered by 73 of 79 (92%) @entity1 . Physician-diagnosed @entity565 was reported by 30% in the @entity354 group vs 10% in the control group (OR 4.1; 95% CI 2.4-6.8), and recurrent wheeze in 29% vs 5.5% ( @entity29942 ; 4.1-11.6). Also wheeze during the last year, @entity565 medication, a long-standing cough, cough with sputum production and chronic @entity3617 were significantly more common among the @entity1 with @entity354 . In contrast, there was no significant difference regarding risk factors for @entity565 . The prevalence of @entity1576 did not appear to decrease with age. CONCLUSION: A high prevalence of @entity1576 remains among adult @entity1 with repaired @entity354 . Many of the @entity1 had an @entity565 diagnosis. However, @entity565 heredity or @entity2023 was not overrepresented.
