Abstract

A standardized protocol is essential for international comparisons of asthma prevalence and severity. The International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) used a standardized written questionnaire (WQ) and a video questionnaire (AVQ3.0) to survey the prevalence and severity of asthma in 13-14-year-old schoolchildren in different countries. To compare the effectiveness of WQ and AVQ3.0 in predicting bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR), defined as having a provocation dose of inhaled methacholine causing a 20% fall in baseline FEV1 of 7.8 mumol. One hundred and eighty-nine Chinese schoolchildren completed a written questionnaire followed by a video questionnaire on asthma symptoms. They then underwent bronchial challenge to methacholine. Fair correlations were seen between the first two corresponding questions (moderate wheezing at rest and exercise wheeze) in the two questionnaires with Kapper indices of 0.44 and 0.43, respectively. The ability to predict BHR, as indicated by the Youden's index, was similar between the corresponding questions of the two questionnaires, except for 'severe wheeze' which had a significantly higher Youden's index in AVQ3.0 (0.44) than the corresponding question in WQ (0.11, P < 0.05)...Continue Reading

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Allergies & Environmental Factors

Environmental factors are strongly associated with the prevalence of allergies and are an increasing health concern worldwide. Discover the latest research on Allergies and Environmental Factors here.
