The majority of children with asthma are classified as mild/moderate and can be successfully managed with regular inhaled corticosteroids and bronchodilators. However, more than 5% of asthmatic children continue to have sub-optimal control despite apparently appropriate therapy. These children suffer significant morbidity including poor school attendance, adverse effects on family life and consume disproportionate health care resources. True therapy resistant asthma is rare in children and paediatricians should focus on ensuring the correct diagnosis, identifying and managing modifiable risk factors for difficult to control asthma before using the label severe asthma. Management of severe asthma requires a multidisciplinary approach. Symptomatic children on Step 4 (less than 5 years) or Step 5 (more than 5 years) of British Thoracic Society/SIGN Asthma Guideline or in children with diagnostic uncertainty should be referred to the local tertiary paediatric respiratory service. 相似文献

A questionnaire was administered to parents of 171 asthmatic children, and their knowledge of asthma was evaluated using a quantitative score. The mean age of children was 5 yr and the mean duration of their asthma was 3 yr. Each sign of the classical triad "noisy breathing, cough, indrawing" was mentioned by two-thirds of parents. Inhaled agents perceived as triggers of asthma were: animal hair (73.7%), dust (69.6%), pollen (60.2%), tobacco (44.4%), molds (14.6%). Other triggering agents mentioned were: stress (51.5%), infections (38%), exercise (13.5%). Mothers with college or university education knew more clinical signs of an attack (P less than 0.01) and more triggering factors (P less than 0.005). Parents satisfied with previous teaching knew more threatening signs of an attack (P less than 0.01). About 80% of those that used theophylline and 49.4% of those that used inhaled beta-2-agonists knew the correct mode of administration. Parents satisfied with previous teaching had better knowledge of the side-effects of theophylline (P less than 0.005) and beta-2-agonists (P less than 0.02). 58.5% of those that used cromolyn sodium did not know the mean duration of a therapeutic trial and 15% did not use it as prophylaxis. 57.1% of those that used oral corticosteroids did not know any side-effects of the drug. About half of the parents indicated that they would like to receive more information about the causes and the appropriate treatment of asthma. It was concluded that parental teaching should focus more on environmental and therapeutic issues. 相似文献

In order to study ECP, ECA, NCA and tryptase levels in serum in 18 cat-allergic children with asthma scrum samples were obtained before and during an allergen bronchial challenge. All children were on regular treatment with inhaled steroids (200-800 μg/day) and bronchodilators. Peak expiratory flow (PEF) was recorded twice daily for at least a week before the challenge. The baseline ECP levels were significantly higher in the children who had a baseline PEF 80-95% of pred. compared to those who had PEF >95% of pred. (mean 24. 3 μg/l and 14. 3 μg/l respectively, p <0.02). ECP in serum before the ehallenge correlated significantly to PEF in % of the expected optimal PEF obtained from the PEF curve (r= 0. 48, p <0.05). During the challenge ECA and NCA increased significantly from mean 96. 2% and 97. 9% to 122. 7% and 118. 7% (p <0.05 for both), while ECP did not change significantly, mean 20. 4 μg/l before and 17. 5 μg/l after the challenge. Tryptase levels in serum were not detectable (<0. 5 ng/ml) before or during the asthmatic attack.
We eoncludc that there are significantly raised ECP levels in serum in symptom-free asthmatic children on long-term treatment with topical steroids possibly indicating remaining airway inflammation. Acute asthma results in an increase of ECA and NCA while ECP levels seem to reflect the chronic rather than the acute phase of asthma in children. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Daily maintenance medications are recommended for all children with mild persistent to severe persistent asthma; however, poor adherence to these medications is common. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of school-based provision of inhaled corticosteroids on asthma severity among urban children with mild persistent to severe persistent asthma. DESIGN: Children aged 3 to 7 years with mild persistent to severe persistent asthma were identified at the start of the 2000-2001 and 2001-2002 school years in Rochester. Children were assigned randomly to a school-based care group (daily inhaled corticosteroids provided through the school) or a usual-care group (inhaled corticosteroids not given through school). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Improvement in parent-reported symptom-free days. RESULTS: Of 242 eligible children, 184 were enrolled from 54 urban schools. Data for 180 children were available. Parents of children in the school-based care group had a greater improvement in quality of life compared with parents of children in the usual-care group (change score, 0.63 vs 0.24; P =.047); also, children in the school-based care group vs the usual-care group missed less school because of asthma (mean total days missed, 6.8 vs 8.8; P =.047) and experienced more symptom-free days during the early winter months (mean days per 2-week period, 9.2 vs 7.3; P =.02). A post hoc analysis revealed that all significant findings were produced by differences among children who were not exposed to secondhand smoke. Furthermore, among children not exposed to smoke, those in the school-based care group vs the usual-care group had more symptom-free days overall (11.5 vs 10.5; P =.046), had fewer days needing rescue medications (1.6 vs 2.3; P =.03), and were less likely to have had 3 or more acute visits for asthma (6 [13%] of 47 children vs 17 [31%] of 54 children; P =.03). CONCLUSIONS: School-based provision of inhaled corticosteroids significantly improved symptoms, quality of life, and absenteeism among urban children with mild persistent to severe persistent asthma. This effect was seen only among children not exposed to secondhand smoke. 相似文献

Eighty percent of asthma attacks in children are accompanied by an upper respiratory tract viral infection. Adenovirus is one of the major viral causes of childhood bronchiolitis. As the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the most sensitive technique for documenting viral respiratory infections, the PCR method was performed on the throat swab samples of asthmatic children with and without wheezing to investigate the presence of the adenovirus genome in the upper respiratory tract. The frequencies of adenovirus in asymptomatic and symptomatic asthmatic patients, healthy controls and wheezy children were as follows: 33.3%, 71.4%, 37% and 62.96%, respectively. The adenovirus was detected in a significantly higher percentage in the upper airways of patients with asthma exacerbation and in children with wheezing than in patients without asthma exacerbation and in the healthy controls (p < 0.05). The frequency of adenovirus was not different between asthmatic patients receiving or not receiving inhaled corticosteroid. Adenovirus has the potential to precipitate asthma exacerbations in asthmatic patients; its frequency was not affected by the treatment of inhaled corticosteroid. 相似文献

Aim: Measures of lung function (usually FEV1 <80% predicted) are used to classify asthma severity in both adults and children, despite evidence that lung function impairment is less pronounced in the paediatric asthma population. The present study assesses the relevance of lung function measurements as discriminators of severe childhood asthma. Methods: Fifty‐one school‐aged children with problematic severe asthma, 37 mild‐to‐moderate asthmatics and 29 healthy controls underwent a comprehensive clinical work‐up. Problematic severe asthma was defined in patients exhibiting poor asthma control despite high‐dose inhaled corticosteroid treatment and at least one other asthma controller drug. Mild‐to‐moderate asthmatic children used low‐dose inhaled steroids and reported minimal asthma symptoms. Results: Baseline FEV1 values were significantly reduced in children with problematic severe asthma, yet FEV1 <80% predicted showed a low sensitivity (41%) for discriminating severe vs. mild‐to‐moderate asthma. Receiver‐operated characteristic analysis estimated the optimal cut‐off of FEV1 to be 90% predicted in this population (sensitivity 61%, specificity 83%). Baseline FEV1/FVC and FEF25–75 values were not superior to FEV1 in discriminating problematic severe asthma, and neither exhaled nitric oxide levels nor bronchial hyperresponsiveness differentiated between the two asthmatic study populations. Conclusion: Spirometric measurements are insensitive discriminators of problematic severe asthma in childhood. 相似文献

Growth of asthmatic children is slower during than before treatment with inhaled glucocorticoids 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Reports on the influence of inhaled glucocorticoids on growth have been controversial. We studied the growth of prepubertal asthmatic children prior to and during glucocorticoid therapy. We collected retrospectively the notes of 201 asthmatic children aged 1–11 years receiving inhaled beclomethasone dipropionate or budesonide. We calculated their height and height velocity standard deviation scores (HSDS and HVSDS, respectively) before the treatment and up to 5 years during the treatment and compared those with the growth of healthy peers. The dose of the medication was calculated and the severity of asthma was assessed. The asthmatic children grew similarly to their healthy peers before treatment with inhaled glucocorticoids: the mean HSDS was +0.02 and the mean HVSDS +0.01 for boys and -0.16 and +0.13 for girls, respectively. Growth retardation took place soon after the start of the treatment, the most profound decrease in the growth velocity (the change in the mean HVSDS from +0.05 to -0.88) occurring during the first year of treatment. The growth-retarding effect of inhaled glucocorticoids was not dose dependent. In the covariance analysis the increasing severity of asthma had a significant interaction with repeated measurements, showing more growth retardation along with more severe asthma, especially during long-term treatment. Asthma per se does not impair growth, but inhaled glucocorticoids may do so. Careful monitoring of the growth of all asthmatic children receiving inhaled glucocorticoids is necessary because the growth-retarding effect of the medication is not dose dependent. Individual sensitivity might explain the differences seen in the growth patterns of children receiving inhaled glucocorticoids. 相似文献

Background: The aim of the present study is to undertake a survey of childhood asthma and details of the use of inhaled therapy from mothers with asthmatic children ≤15 years old, using the Internet.
Methods: This study was done on a nationwide scale in Japan during the latter half of July 2001.
Results: Responses were obtained from 748 mothers. Four hundred and three children (53.9%) had been diagnosed with asthma when ≤2 years old and 263 children (35.2%) when 2–5 years old. Three hundred and ninety-seven children (53.1%) were in remission or had mild asthma, 295 children (39.4%) had moderate asthma, and 56 (7.5%) had severe asthma. Of 563 children who required some pharmacological treatment, 266 used inhaled therapy. One hundred and forty-four children used metered-dose inhaler (MDI), 136 used powered nebulizer, and 34 used dry powder inhaler (DPI). Of children treated with inhaled sodium cromoglycate, 63 used MDI, 129 used nebulizer solution and 23 used DPI. Of children treated with inhaled corticosteroids, 43 used MDI and six used DPI. Of children using powered nebulizer, 48 were well satisfied and 76 were slightly satisfied. More than 90% of mothers commented that this form of treatment improved the quality of life both of the asthmatic children and of the family.
Conclusion: Internet survey of childhood asthma is effective, and powered nebulizer therapy may be encouraged more acceptable by infants and young children in the treatment of asthma. 相似文献

In the treatment of bronchial asthma, inhaled therapy with both bronchodilators and corticosteroids represents the basis for acute and long-term management. Drug therapy in asthma is predominantly by pressurized metered dose inhalers. The impact of treatment on the disease morbidity and mortality depends to a large extent on appropriate delivery of drug to the lungs by means of a spacer device. We performed an audit on spacer use in 200 children and showed that 99% owned a spacer, 2% owned but did not use their spacer, 11% were using a spacer which was not ideal for their age, 17% had a poor technique, and 24% were not following the recommendations given on previous visits to wash the spacer only with a soapy solution. Although physicians frequently associate poor control of asthma with inadequate doses of drugs, many factors must be considered before increasing the dose of inhaled medications to children. We should all ensure that the drugs we prescribe are delivered in the best possible manner, thus improving control of asthma, reducing side effects and offering a more cost-effective therapy. 相似文献

Aim: Reduced basal cortisol is reported in allergic disease. We investigated if basal salivary cortisol levels were reduced in children with asthma or allergic rhinitis, controlling for inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) use. Methods: Morning and evening saliva of asthmatic children aged 7–12 years (n = 50) and that of controls (n = 52) were sampled. A total of 19 asthmatics and four controls had allergic rhinitis. Healthy children were controls without rhinitis. Of all, 14 asthmatic children used low, and 12 used moderate or high doses of ICS. Cortisol was analysed by radioimmunoassay. Results: Morning salivary cortisol median (95% CI) was lower in asthmatics (8.7 (7.1, 9.7)) compared with that in controls (10.4 (9.6, 11.8); p = 0.006), which was similar for evening cortisol levels. Regression analyses demonstrated that asthmatics using moderate or high doses of ICS had reduced morning salivary cortisol adjusted (for age and gender) odds ratio (aOR) (95% CI) (0.54 (0.37, 0.80); p = 0.002) and reduced evening cortisol aOR (0.09 (0.01, 0.6); p = 0.02) compared with that in healthy children. Asthmatics with rhinitis on no or low doses of ICS had reduced morning cortisol aOR (0.73 (0.56, 0.96); p = 0.02) compared with that in healthy children. Conclusion: Asthmatic children on moderate or high doses of inhaled corticosteroids had reduced salivary cortisol, but co‐morbidity of asthma and rhinitis was also associated with reduced cortisol levels. 相似文献

Most childhood asthma is mild/moderate and is easily controlled with regular use of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) and rescue bronchodilators. However, between 5% and 10% of children will have asthma that remains difficult to control despite high doses of appropriate asthma therapies. Children with ‘difficult to control’ asthma are responsible for a substantial proportion of the morbidity and health care costs associated with asthma. The recognition that not all ‘difficult to control’ asthma is ‘severe’ is perhaps the most important message for paediatricians looking after children with such asthma. Before labelling asthma as ‘severe’, factors that might make asthma difficult to control need to be identified and addressed. In the small number with genuinely severe asthma, there are a number of different subgroups or ‘phenotypes’. In the future, clearer definition of phenotypes is likely to lead to better targeting of therapy and to improved asthma control. 相似文献

Treatment preferences of adolescent patients with asthma 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The study objective was to assess whether asthmatic adolescents who were regular users of inhaled corticosteroids preferred treatment with zafirlukast tablets or inhaled beclomethasone dipropionate (BDP), and, secondarily, to assess adolescents' inhaler technique and their opinions about treatment. An openlabel, randomized, twoperiod, crossover study was conducted in 18 centres (primary care to specialist asthma centres) in South Africa, the UK, Finland and the Czech Republic. One hundred and thirtytwo adolescents aged 1217 years with asthma for at least 1 year and FEV1 75% of predicted, treated with shortacting bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroids, entered the study. Patients received oral zafirlukast tablets (Accolate) 20 mg bd or inhaled BDP 100 or 200 µg bd, provided by a standard pressurized metereddose inhaler, for 4 weeks each. One questionnaire was used to determine preference (the primary outcome measure) and a second questionnaire was used to determine patients' likes and dislikes of treatment. Investigators also scored inhaler technique. Of 113 adolescents, 79 (70%) preferred zafirlukast compared with 31 (27%) who preferred the BDP inhaler (p < 0.001); three had no preference. Only 35 (29%) of 122 adolescents could use their inhaler correctly at study entry. Seventysix patients (65%) rated zafirlukast tablets as 'very easy' to use, compared with 35 (30%) for the BDP inhaler. Both treatments were well tolerated. This study shows that asthmatic adolescents prefer zafirlukast tablets by a ratio of 2.6:1 over inhaled BDP, and these results may have implications for improving adolescent patient compliance with asthma therapy. 相似文献
