ObjectiveForeign body aspiration (FBA) could be a serious life-threatening condition in children. Patients usually underwent bronchoscopy with suspicious of FBA alone. In this study, we aimed to determine which patients need to go to bronchoscopy based on pre-operative findings.MethodsRetrospective analysis of patients underwent bronchoscopy between 1999 and 2015 was performed. Clinical symptoms, witnessed aspiration event (WAE), physical examination findings (PEFs) and radiological findings (RFs) were analyzed by multivariate analysis to evaluate the indications of bronchoscopy.Results431 patients (266M, 165F) underwent bronchoscopy with a median age of 2 years (7 months-16 years). A foreign body was detected in 68% of the patients. Univariate analysis demonstrated that wheeze was the sole distinctive clinical symptom for detection of FBA (p<0.001). The rates of positive WAE, PEFs and RFs were 83%, 71.7% and 36.9%, respectively. All of them were identified as independent predictive parameters in the detection of FBA by univariate analysis (p = 0.003&p<0.001&p = 0.015). Multivariate analysis was performed with considering the association between them. The rate of positive bronchoscopy was 91.3% in patients with positive WAE, PEFs and RFs together(84/92). In patients with a positive WAE alone who had not got PEFs and RFs, the rate of positive bronchoscopy was 34.2% (25/73). A foreign body was detected in 84% of the patients who had not got a WAE but positive PEFs and RFs together(21/25). Bronchial laceration was occurred in one patient during bronchoscopy. Pneumothorax was not seen in any of the other patients. The rate of mortality was 0.4% in the overall group (2 patients).ConclusionThe indications of bronchoscopy in suspected FBA are usually based on clinical suspicious. The definition of " suspicous" could be a WAE or positive PEFs and RFs. The association of these factors increase the rate of positive bronchoscopies. In the light of our study, the classical indication for suspected FBA is still valid as "suspicious requires bronchoscopy".
