UTILITATEA MASURARII FENO IN MONITORIZAREA COPIILOR CU ASTM BRONSIC

Cristina Popescu and Mihai Craiu

REZUMAT

Scopuri şi obiective. Astmul bronşic este cea mai frecventă boală cronică la copii. În peste 50% din cazurile pediatrice, inflamaţia căilor aeriene este eozinofilică. În monitorizarea astmului, cel mai important aspect este prevenirea exacerbărilor printr-o bună comunicare medic-pacient-familie şi o complianţă ridicată a acestora din urmă la tratament. Foarte importantă este şi evaluarea corectă a calităţii vieţii copilului cu astm. Studiul de faţă şi-a propus verificarea corelaţiei între nivelul de control al astmului şi nivelul de inflamaţie eozinofilică de la nivelul căilor aeriene la copiii aflaţi în tratament cu corticosteroizi inhalatorii (CSI).

Material şi metodă. Am evaluat un număr de 24 pacienţi care s-au prezentat la compartimentul de primiri urgenţe al spitalului IOMC „Alfred Rusescu“ Bucureşti în cursul a zece săptămâni din anotimpul rece. Evaluarea a constat în efectuarea scorului Asthma Control Test (ACT), măsurarea fracţiei de Oxid Nitric din aerul expirat (FeNO) şi probe funcţionale respiratorii.

Rezultate şi discuţii. Valoarea scorului ACT în funcţie de măsurarea FENO arată o corelaţie liniară şi negativă cu r = -0.6286 (p < 0,01). Concluzii. Măsurarea FeNO este o metodă simplă, rapidă şi neinvazivă. Valoarea FeNO este corelată cu scorul ACT, în mod liniar şi negativ. Crearea unor algoritmi simpli ar putea îmbunătăţi controlul şi monitorizarea evoluţiei şi ar permite personalizarea terapiei la copilul cu astm.

Cuvinte cheie: scor ACT, FeNO, monitorizare, copil

THE UTILITY OF MEASURING FENO IN MONITORING ASTHMATIC CHILDREN

Cristina Popescu and Mihai Craiu

ABSTRACT

Purposes and objectives. Bronchial asthma is the most frequent chronic disease in children and in almost 50% of these cases, it occurs eosinophilic airway infl ammation. The most important objective in monitoring asthma is preventing exacerbations by means of good communication between phisician, patient and family, a good compliance of the latter and an accurate assesment of the asthmatic patient’s quality of life. Present study is examining correlation between asthma control and airways eosinophilic infl ammation level in asthmatic children treated with ICS.

Method and material. We evaluated 24 patients presented in emergengy department of our hospital, during ten weeks in cold season. The assesment consisted in performing Asthma Control Test (ACT), measuring fraction of the exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and pulmonary function testing. Results and discussions. We documented a negative linear correlation of ACT score with FeNO (r = -0. 6286 (p < 0.01)).

Conclusions. Measuring FeNO is a simple to perform, fast and noninvasive method. FeNO value is related to ACT score, between them being a negative linear correlation. Generating simple algorithms may improve control of disease and tailoring therapy asthmatic children.

Keywords: ACT score, FeNO, monitoring, child
