In pre-pubertal children,there is not a clear association between obesity status and lung function parameters.
This effect disappeared after adjustment for other lung function parameters, probably due to confounding factors.
The most relevant lung function parameters are the diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide and the bronchodilator response.
In addition, further studies are needed to examine the impact that lung function parameters have on predictive equations for LVM in obese individuals.
In a study similar to ours, the GINA criteria were compared with theAsthma Control Test ACT, which is a 5-item questionnaire that does not include items on lung function parameters.
They did not find any correlation between the lung function parameters and the biochemical tests and duration and severity of CKF.
These findings were expected and are consistent with the literature,showing the usual correlation between clinical severity and lung function parameters.
Secondarily, there was improvement in lung function parameters although it did not reach the minimum clinically significant change and in all AQLQ domains.
Recently, Burity et al. described reference values based on 135 northeastern Brazilian preschoolers andidentified height and sex as predictors of lung function parameters.
At the end of the protocol lung function parameters and lung mechanics,lung histology, functional residual capacity(frc), gas exchange, total lipid content of bronchial alveolar.
In conclusion, the present study suggests that an individualized outpatient education program has positive effects on the level of asthma control,with improvement in lung function parameters and in quality of life scores.
Regarding the functional assessment,we found low levels in lung function parameters and exercise capacity, with a significant difference only in forced expiratory volume in one second after bronchodilator.
Of the 17 previously validated asthma control and quality of life questionnaires for monitoring symptoms in asthma patients,only 2 include items on lung function parameters: ACQ-7 and the Asthma Control Scoring System.
Dornase alfa promotes stabilization of lung function parameters, including FEV1, in patients aged 6-11 and³14 years, and exerts a favorable impact on the clinical profile of CF patients irrespective of the age.
The authors found that there were no significant differences between the children with andwithout bronchopulmonary dysplasia in terms of lung function parameters, nor was there any evidence of an association between atopy and bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
The paradoxical deterioration in lung function parameters can be explained by the bronchiectasis-related phenomenon of collapse of damaged airways, which require the maintenance of smooth muscle tone in order to remain patent.
Accordingly, it became necessary to develop a broader method of preoperative evaluation for lung resection surgery,allowing risk stratification less focused on simple lung function parameters and more related to the individual's ability to perform his daily activities.
With regard to the lung function parameters assessed in the present study, absolute and percent predicted PEF were significantly lower in the MSA group, as were percent predicted pre-bronchodilator FEV1 and percent predicted post-bronchodilator FEV1.
These data show that the use of an instrument that includes items covering clinical symptoms and lung function parameters on an objective point scale can provide information to facilitate the clinical management of patients, given that asthma treatment progression is based primarily on the level of asthma control.
Similarly, our findings show a stabilization of lung function parameters at 6 and 12 months of dornase alfa, with no reductions in FEV1 over the one year period as it would be expected. Although not statistically significant, the absolute increase of 3% in the final mean of VEF1 in the younger group may be considered as a progress from a clinical perspective.
To date, studies of patients with PIBO have evaluated only the acute effects of inhaled bronchodilators on lung function parameters, and none of those studies have evaluated the long-term impact that inhaled bronchodilator treatment has on functional and clinical outcomes such as symptoms, exercise tolerance, and quality of life.
Education programs have improved the knowledge of asthma,the control of the disease, lung function parameters and treatment compliance, and they should be incorporated into patient care. The improvement of such knowledge is one of the main objectives of education programs, and its assessment is an important part of the intervention. Many asthma education programs use validated questionnaires to measure patient knowledge, the impact of the programs and the relationship between such knowledge and asthma control.
Multiple linear regression was carried out for each lung function parameter and respiratory symptom in order to identify symptoms with independent effects on lung function. .
The test can be used both as a screening test,raising the suspicion of OLD, and as a lung function parameter, similar to FEV1 and FVC.
The confirmation of the reproducibility of the Brazilian Portuguese version of ACQ-7 provides an instrument that includes items covering subjective symptoms and one lung function parameter and that can be used in clinical practice and research, its validity having been confirmed.
Aims: to examine the association between nutritional status parameters and lung function in children and adolescents with cf.
On the other hand, the following showed to be relevant factors in this study:the diagnosis of COPD using two parameters of lung function; the evaluation of data on other environmental exposures passive smoking and cigarette type, farm work, location and characteristics of the stove, allowing better assessment of the role of wood smoke as an etiological factor of COPD; the exclusion of women smokers; criterion for inclusion in the study that required a minimum duration of exposure to wood smoke.
