Qualité de vie liée à la santé de patients asthmatiques : étude transversale à Semnan, République islamique d'IranRÉSUMÉ L'asthme peut affecter gravement la qualité de vie des personnes qui en souffrent. Les données sur la qualité de vie des personnes vivant avec l'asthme en République islamique d'Iran sont en nombre limité. La présente étude transversale avait pour objectif d'évaluer la qualité de vie des adultes asthmatiques à Semnan sur la base du SF-36, un questionnaire court d'enquête sur la santé comprenant 36 items. L'effet des caractéristiques socio-démographiques sur les scores de la qualité de vie a été examiné. L'étude incluait un échantillon de commodité de 385 patients externes souffrant d'asthme et s'étant rendus dans une clinique spécialisée pour les maladies pulmonaires entre juin et décembre 2013. Les scores moyens des composantes physiques et mentales étaient de 58,8 (ET 18,3) et 57,3 (ET 17,0) respectivement. L'échantillon de l'étude affichait des scores inférieurs pour la qualité de vie dans tous les domaines par rapport à la population de référence (p < 0,05). Les patients ayant un niveau d'instruction moindre, les habitants urbains, les patients veufs/divorcés et les travailleurs manuels obtenaient des scores de la qualité de vie plus faibles (p < 0,05). Des efforts sont requis pour améliorer la qualité de vie des patients asthmatiques parallèlement à la mise en place de plans précis pour leur prise en charge. This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate quality of life in adults with asthma in Semnan using the 36-item short form health survey (SF-36). The effect of sociodemographic characteristics on quality of life scores was examined. The study included a convenience sample of 385 outpatients with asthma attending a pulmonary clinic from June to December 2013. The mean physical and mental component scores were 58.8 (SD 18.3) and 57.3 (SD 17.0) respectively. The study sample had lower quality of life scores in all the fields than the reference population (P < 0.05). Patients with lower education, urban residents, widowed/divorced patients and manual workers had lower quality of life scores (P < 0.05). Efforts are needed to improve the quality of life of people with asthma in parallel with precise management plans. ‫اإلسالمية‬ ‫إيران‬ ‫مجهورية‬ ‫سيمنان،‬‫املتوسط‬ ‫لرشق‬ ‫الصحية‬ ‫املجلة‬ ‫العرشون‬ ‫و‬ ‫الثالث‬ ‫املجلد‬ ‫السابع‬ ‫العدد‬ 501

“…All of these instruments have shown lower QoL scores in people with asthma compared with those without the disease (7,10). Several factors could affect QoL of people with asthma, such as age, socioeconomic status, education level and marital status.…”

“…The asthmatics studied had intense cutaneous reactivity to aeroallergens, a Th2 immune response conserved and high levels of total serum IgE when compared to the control group (p = . 0001) [15][16][17] The asthmatics also presented a significant increase of CD3+CD4+ lymphocytes compared to the control group (p < 0.05), which can be associated to preserved humoral response despite the long disease evolution of the patients studied.…”

“…Unfortunately no information was available regarding the atopic status of these controls and previous studies suggest that the prevalence of allergy to environmental allergens may be considerable. 17 This suggest that using such controls would make it more difficult to demonstrate a genetic association with atopy and any association found is likely to be an underesti- Scores have been given based on measurement of 2 mm greater than the positive control for SPT and 2 units above the standard unit for RAST test.…”
