Allergy, EarlyView.In this two‐phase study, school‐aged children were classified as at risk or no‐risk based on severe attacks during one‐year follow‐up. Four types of prediction models were developed. Salivary bacteria and serum inflammatory markers, while informative alone, complement past asthma attacks in predicting future attack risk.

Clinical Significance of Bronchodilator Responsiveness Evaluated by Forced Vital Capacity in COPD: SPIROMICS Cohort Analysis. [PDF]
, 2019 ObjectiveBronchodilator responsiveness (BDR) is prevalent in COPD, but its clinical implications remain unclear. We explored the significance of BDR, defined by post-bronchodilator change in FEV1 (BDRFEV1) as a measure reflecting the change in flow and ...

Natural History of Airway Hyperresponsiveness and Its Association With Asthma Traits
Allergy, EarlyView.AHR improves in most children over adolescence when its relationship with asthma changes. AHR is better at ruling out asthma in children, while it is superior at ruling in asthma in young adults. Age should be considered when interpreting AHR, and different cutoffs might be required for children and adults.

Allergy, EarlyView.In the LEAD cohort, micro‐arrayed asthma allergens identified IgE‐sensitized adult asthma patients. Compared to non‐IgE‐sensitized patients, they had better lung function, took less ICS and had lower eosinophils. IgE‐sensitized patients were sensitized to a handful of respiratory allergen sources and may benefit from allergen‐specific forms of ...

Use of Symptoms Scores, Spirometry, and Other Pulmonary Function Testing for Asthma Monitoring
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2019 Asthma is a global problem affecting millions of people all over the world. Monitoring of asthma both in children and in adulthood is an indispensable tool for the optimal disease management and for the maintenance of clinical stability. To date, several

Quality of Spirometry in the Elderly
Advances in Respiratory Medicine, 2013 Wstęp: Spirometria jest podstawową techniką wykorzystywaną w diagnozowaniu i monitorowaniu chorób obturacyjnych. Coraz większą grupę objętą badaniami spirometrycznymi stanowią osoby w wieku podeszłym, które ukończyły 65. rok życia. Celem pracy była ocena jakości wykonania spirometrii (pomiaru krzywej przepływ–objętość) u osób w tej grupie wiekowej w ...

An Algorithm for the Diagnosis and Management of Severe Asthma in Children and Adolescents
Allergy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Severe asthma (SA) in childhood is infrequent (≈2% of all paediatric asthma), yet it drives a disproportionate share of morbidity and cost. A clear algorithm is required to distinguish difficult‐to‐treat asthma (DTA) from true SA and to guide phenotype‐driven diagnosis and therapy.
