The reliability of the ACT questionnaire was high, with an intra-class correlation coefficient of 0.86, a value that is higher than that reported for the original version of the test [13].…”

Background: Psychiatric comorbidities are prevalent in patients with chronic respiratory diseases. But, there is no clear evidence comparing asthma and COPD. The aim of the present study was to investigate and compare the emotional status of patients with asthma and COPD Methods: The study included 132 consecutive patients who were diagnosed with asthma (n=78) and COPD (n=54) who did not receive therapy for pshiciatric disorders. Emotional status were evaluated using the Beck and Hamilton surveys. Results: There was significant difference between patients asthma an COPD in terms of anxiety and depression level. The patients with COPD achieved significantly worse scores in emotional status. Anxiety and depression was significantly greater in patients with uncontrolled asthma. But, there was no significant correlation between GOLD stages and spirometric values and emotional disorders in COPD patients. Conclusions: It was concluded that anxiety and depression are prevalent in patients with COPD and particularly uncontrolled asthma, and patients with such chronic diseases; psychosocial support may be helpful, alongside the treatment of existing disease.

“…An ACT score of 25 indicated totally controlled asthma, 20-24 indicated partially controlled asthma, and a score less than 20 indicated uncontrolled asthma (14). Patients with COPD are classified to 4 stages according to Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease 2010 classification and the Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) 2010 classification are used for the evauation of patients with allergic rhinitis (12,13).…”

SuMMArYSmoking attitudes of the patients with allergic rhinitis: a comparison with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Are there differences when only upper airways are involved? Introduction: Despite the well documented relationship between lower airway diseases and smoking, there are limited data about smoking and allergic rhinitis (AR). In this study, we aimed to document the smoking behaviour and environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure of the patients with AR in comparison with patients with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) and healthy controls (HC).
