Assessing clinical and spirometric control and the intensity of the inflammatory process in asthma

Abstract: Objectives: To review the role of clinical assessment, quality of life assessment, spirometry, bronchial responsiveness test and inflammatory markers for asthma assessment. Sources: Search run on MEDLINE and LILACS.Summary of the findings: Clinical assessment aids with assessing asthma control and is widely recommended. However, patients may have airway inflammation and obstruction despite normal clinical findings. Spirometry quantifies the degree of airway obstruction and helps with diagnosis, while the bronc… Show more

“…BHR must be assessed, especially in studies that evaluate response to asthma treatment over time. 30 Three issues stand out in most articles on the matter indexed in major databases: small, uncalculated sample size; absence of a control group; and very short duration of swim training. The present study, which was designed with a group of MPAA patients in mind, had a predefined and properly calculated sample size, had a control group, and used standardized pharmacological treatment of asthma and swimming exercises across all participants.…”

“…Cada questão é pontuada numa escala de 1 a 7 pontos, onde 1 representa o máximo de prejuízo e 7, nenhum prejuízo [6]. Todas as respostas são somadas, dividindo-se o valor por 23 para obter a pontuação final em média da QV, sendo classificados como "QV ruim" valores inferiores a 4 [16].…”

“…No presente estudo, não foi encontrada associação significante entre o nível de gravidade da asma e a QV. Walker et al [16] também aplicaram o PAQLQ num grupo de crianças asmáticas com média de idade de 8 anos e não encontraram associação estatisticamente significante entre a gravidade da asma e a pontuação total da QV. Entretanto, Nogueira et al [9] observaram um impacto negativo da asma grave na QV, porém a população estudada foi de adolescentes entre 12 a 21 anos de idade e 49% deles tinham asma moderada/grave.…”

“…Estudo recente demonstrou que crianças cujos responsáveis não tinham adequado conhecimento do diagnóstico de asma apresentavam pior percepção da dispneia do que aquelas diagnosticadas por um médico como asmáticas 29 . Assim, parâmetros clínicos aliados à avaliação da qualidade de vida, da função pulmonar e de marcadores inflamatórios podem ser complementares no acompanhamento do asmático 30 .…”
