Home telemonitoring (forced expiratory volume in 1 s) in children with severe asthma does not reduce exacerbations.
Some children with severe asthma develop frequent exacerbations despite intensive treatment. We sought to assess the outcome (severe exacerbations and healthcare use, lung function, quality of life and maintenance treatment) of a strategy based on daily home spirometry with teletransmission to an expert medical centre and whether it differs from that of a conventional strategy. 50 children with...
متن کاملAcute effects of outdoor air pollution on forced expiratory volume in 1 s: a panel study of schoolchildren with asthma.
Urban air pollution has been associated with morbidity but little information exists on how it affects diurnal variation of lung function in children with asthma. The purpose of this study was to investigate the acute effects of traffic-related pollution on lung function among children with asthma. We recorded morning and evening forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV(1)) for 28 consecutive days ...
متن کاملRecent asthma exacerbations predict future exacerbations in children with severe or difficult-to-treat asthma.
BACKGROUND Children with severe/difficult-to-treat asthma experience high morbidity including frequent severe exacerbations. More knowledge is required to identify predictors of these exacerbations to reduce their occurrence. OBJECTIVE To investigate the risk of future severe exacerbations (FSEs) in children with severe/difficult-to-treat asthma and recent severe exacerbations (RSEs). METHO...
متن کاملDoes Mean Platelet Volume in Children with Bronchiectasis Predict Exacerbations?
Bronchiectasis is a parenchymal lung disease which develops as a consequence of chronic inflammation and recurrent pulmonary infections. It is known that platelets have a role in inflammation and progressive pulmonary damage. Mean platelet volume (MPV) values as a marker of platelet activation, and might be used as an indicator of inflammation. Eighty-one children with the diagnosis of bronchie...
متن کاملNew concepts for expressing forced expiratory volume in 1 s arising from survival analysis.
Spirometric lung function is partly determined by sex, age and height (Ht). Commonly, lung function is expressed as a percentage of the predicted value (PP) in order to account for these effects. Since the PP method retains sex, age and Ht bias, forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV(1)) standardised by powers of Ht and by a new sex-specific lower limit (FEV(1) quotient (FEV(1)Q)) were investigat...
