Abstract:
Objective To investigate the condition and the related influence factors of small airway function in controlled bronchial asthmatic children.Methods Children diagnosed with bronchial asthma controlled,aged 5-14 years old without gender limitation were consecutively enrolled.Survey questionnaire including asthma symptoms in the past one month and medication usage were conducted.Physical condition and lung function were examined.Results A total of 255 patients were included in this study,and 224 patients had normal small airway function in which the level of forced expiratory flow at 50％ of forced vital capacity(FVC) exhaled (FEF50),forced expiratory flow at 75％ of FVC exhaled(FEF75),maximal mid-expiratory flow(MMEF) was 87.9％ (77.0％,97.2％),73.8％ (65.6％,93.5％),and 84.9％ (76.4％,97.5％) of the predicted value,respectively.Thirty-one patients had small airway dysfunction,accounting for 12.2％ (31/255 cases),and the level of FEF50,FEF75,MMEF were 62.8％ (59.9％,65.5％),51.9％ (46.6％,55.5％),and 62.7％ (57.2％,64.4％) of the predicted value,in which FEF75 had shown more decrease than others.In small airway dysfunction group,10 patients had conducted bronchodilation testing,and improvement rate of FEF50,FEF75 and MMEF were 41.1％,47.5％ and 41.3％,and all 10 cases (100.0％) returned to normal level.No significant difference was found in gender,body mass index,atopy,disease duration,drug usage between 2 groups (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion In 5-14 controlled asthmatic children,12.2％ have small airway dysfunction with a certain degree of reversibility.Gender,body mass index,atopy,disease duration,drug usage are not influencing factors.
