Information including patient's demographics, clinical features, laboratory data, and radiography findings was extracted from the electronic medical record system. Chest radiographs were reviewed independently by two board-certified, blinded pediatric radiologists.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> A total of 1,512 patients were included in our study, and 21.9% of them belonged to the wheezing group without MP infection. Among 1,181 patients with MP infection, 295 people (25.0%) suffered from wheezing, and males accounted for 61%. Through the multivariable logistic regression analyses, we found that six variables were positively associated with wheezing attacks in children with MP infection: male gender (likelihood ratio [LR] = 2.124, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.478\u20133.053), history of allergy (LR= 3.301, 95% CI: 2.206\u20134.941), history of wheezing (LR = 7.808, 95% CI: 5.276\u201311.557), autumn in reference to summer (LR = 2.414, 95% CI: 1.500\u20133.885), non-end-point infiltration in reference to consolidation or pleural effusion (LR = 1.982, 95% CI: 1.348\u20132.914), and infiltration scope (LR = 1.773, 95% CI: 1.293\u20132.432). However, the model showed that the probability of wheezing after MP infection decreased as age increased (LR = 0.257, 95% CI: 0.196\u20130.337). Moreover, the area under the curve (AUC) of the regression model was as high as 0.901 (0.847\u20130.955).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> The model integrated with factors including gender, age, season, radiological patterns, infiltration scope, and history of allergy performed well in predicting wheezing attack after MP infection in children.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fped.2021.693658","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,22]],"date-time":"2021-09-22T05:18:08Z","timestamp":1632287888000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Clinical
