| Abstract: | This scoping review investigated the existing literature and identified the evidence gaps related to diagnosis and management in children aged 2–18 years presenting to hospitals with a co-diagnosis of asthma and community-acquired pneumonia. We designed a scoping review following Arksey and O'Malley's scoping review framework and PRISMA extension for a scoping review. We searched literature using five electronic databases: PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase from 2003 to June 2023. A total of 1599 abstracts with titles were screened and 12 abstracts were selected for full review. Separate guidelines including Modified Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) guidelines; modified Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) guidelines; and a consensus guideline developed by the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society (PIDS) and Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) were used for diagnosing asthma and CAP individually. Chest X-rays were used in 83.3% (10/12) of studies to establish the co-diagnosis of asthma-CAP in children. Variations were observed in using different laboratory investigations across the studies. Infectious etiologies were detected in five (41.7%) studies. In 75% (9/12) of studies, children with asthma-CAP co-diagnosis were treated with antimicrobials, however, bacterial etiology was not reported in 44.4% (4/9) of the studies. Our scoping review suggests that chest X-rays are commonly used to establish the co-diagnosis of asthma-CAP and antibiotics are often used without laboratory confirmation of a bacterial etiology. Clinical practice guidelines for the management of asthma and pneumonia in children who present with co-diagnosis may standardize clinical care and reduce variation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
