Abstract

To identify the predictors of requiring intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in asthmatic exacerbation (AE)-related hospitalizations. This study was conducted in southern Thailand between October 2016 and September 2018. The characteristics and clinical findings of patients admitted for AE requiring intubation and IMV were analyzed. The variables were evaluated by univariate and multivariate analysis to identify the independent predictors. A total of 509 patients with a median age of 53 years were included in the study. Being female (60.2%), having no previous use of a controller (64.5%), having a history of smoking, and having a high level of white blood cell count (14,820 cells/mm3) were the significantly more common characteristics of the patients requiring mechanical ventilation. Univariate analysis showed that being male (OR = 1.96 95% CI, 1.22-3.13), having a history of 1-2 AEs in the past 12 months (OR = 3.27 95% CI, 1.75-6.12), and having an absolute eosinophil count ≥300 cells/mm3 (OR = 1.68 95% CI, 1.05-2.69) were associated with patients requiring IMV, whereas the patients who were taking a reliever (OR = 0.36 95% CI, 0.23-0.57) and controller (OR = 0.42 95% CI, 0.27-0.68) were associated with a decre...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.
