Benefits of omalizumab on anxiety and depression in patients with severe asthma
Background: Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases and may cause psychiatric disorders affecting the patients’ quality of life. In our study, we evaluated the effect of omalizumab treatment on anxiety disorder and depression using Beck Depression Scale (BDS) and State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Methods: Anxiety level was determined with STAI, whereas depression level was ...
متن کاملSuitability of forced expiratory volume in 1 second/forced vital capacity vs percentage of predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second for the classification of asthma severity in adolescents.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether lung function alters asthma severity based on symptom history in asthmatic adolescents. DESIGN Data on asthma symptoms and lung function were collected from adolescents randomly selected from the general population. SETTING Five schools from the central Wellington, New Zealand, area during 2003 to 2005. PARTICIPANTS Two hundred twenty-four secondary school s...
متن کاملHome 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 کاملEffort and the forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV).
1. The relationship between volumes expired and the maximum intrathoracic pressures developed within the first second of expiration was examined in a group of healthy subjects and patients with airways obstruction who exhaled with varying degrees of effort. 2. The body plethysmographic method was used to ensure that expirations started from total lung capacity. 3. Three different types of volum...
متن کاملForced expiratory volume in one second: why dichotomise?
Numerous epidemiological surveys have tried to evaluate the effects of exposures relevant to pulmonary disease.' A number of studies have analysed forced expiratory volume in one second (FEVI) using linear regression analysis, thus enabling adjustment for age, height, and sex as well as potential confounding variables. Within the last few years, studies analysing dichotomous FEV, variables with...
