To assess whether bronchial asthma represents a risk factor for acute appendicitis in children under 18 years of age through a systematic review of observational studies. Methods: A systematic review of observational studies assessing the risk of acute appendicitis in patients with bronchial asthma was performed; a meta-analysis was conducted with three studies reporting such exposure and outcome. Results: 513 articles were identified, after screening only three studies were obtained for meta-analysis. Heterogeneity among them was reported by I2 = 0.77. Overall, the OR = 1.16 with 95% CI [1.11-1.21]; p = 0.001. Conclusion: The evidence found in this study implies that bronchial asthma is indeed a risk factor for acute appendicitis
