correlation between symptom score, wheeze, reversibility of pulmonary function tests and treatment response in asthma

Clinical Factors Affecting Discrepant Correlation Between Asthma Control Test Score and Pulmonary Function

The Asthma Control Test (ACT) score is widely used in asthma clinics, particularly with the recent emphasis on achievement and maintenance of optimal asthma control. However, this self-assessment score does not always correspond with lung function parameters, leading to uncertainty about each patient's control status; therefore, we investigated the clinical characteristics that are associated w...

Correlation of clinical score to pulmonary function and oxygen saturation in children with asthma attack.

BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to demonstrate the importance of the relation between clinical score, pulse oximetry and spirometric tests in an asthma attack. METHODS In this randomized, double blind, observational study, 110 children (age 2-15 years) with an asthma attack who were admitted to emergency room were evaluated. Patient history, physical examination, clinical score and oxygen...

Correlation Between the Visual Prostate Symptom Score and International Prostate Symptom Score in Patients With Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms

PURPOSE To evaluate the correlation between the Visual Prostate Symptom Score (VPSS) and International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS). METHODS We enrolled 240 new male patients who had visited National Police Hospital more than twice during a 6-month period starting from July 2013. At initial visit, the Korean version of the IPSS and VPSS, uroflowmetry, and transrectal ultrasonography were use...

Spirometric Evaluation of Pulmonary Function Tests in Bronchial Asthma Patients

Asthma is a complex, recurrent disease of the airways that causes shortness of breath, wheezing, and cough (particularly at night or early in the morning). Asthma is episodic in nature and usually reversible, either spontaneously or with treatment. However, chronic inflammation, associated with persistent symptoms, may contribute to airway remodeling that may not be completely reversible. Airfl...

Correlation between students’ GPA and evaluation score of teacher

Introduction. Evaluation is a process for merit assessment and quality improvement. During the past three decades one of the most important challenges has been student evaluation of teachers in higher education. More studies during recent decade have shown that evaluation of teachers has correlation with some variables like teacher enthusiasm, teacher rank, student expected grade and so on. T...
