Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To study the correlation between the bronchial dilation test (BDT) and asthma control level in children with asthma.
METHODS:A total of 153 children with asthma, aged 5-14 years, who attended the outpatient service from March 2016 to March 2018 were enrolled. According to the presence or absence of atopic constitution, they were divided into an allergic group with 79 children and a non-allergic group with 74 children. The correlation between BDT and Childhood Asthma Control Test (C-ACT) scores was analyzed for both groups.
RESULTS:All basic pulmonary function parameters were positively correlated with C-ACT scores in the non-allergic group (
CONCLUSIONS:The improvement rate of BDT is well correlated with C-ACT scores in children with asthma, suggesting that BDT can be used as an index for predicting asthma control level.
