In some asthmatics, the exacerbation comes on very quickly, whereas in others there is a progressive deterioration of clinical, functional and blood gas parameters. Sudden SAE are characterised by their explos...
متن کاملControl of exposure to mite allergen and allergen-impermeable bed covers for adults with asthma.
BACKGROUND The effectiveness of avoidance of house-dust-mite allergen (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus 1 [Der p1]) in the management of asthma is uncertain. METHODS We conducted a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study of allergen-impermeable bed covers involving 1122 adults with asthma.

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 کاملFeather bedding and childhood asthma associated with house dust mite sensitisation: a randomised controlled trial

OBJECTIVE To determine whether, among children not using feather upper bedding, a new feather pillow and feathe...
