Guidelines advocate the use of spirometry to assess pulmonary function in asthmatic patients. Commonly used measures include forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), forced expiratory ratio (FEV1/FVC), and forced mid-expiratory flow between 25 and 75 % of forced vital capacity (FEF25-75). Impulse oscillometry (IOS) is an effort-independent test performed during tidal breathing. IOS may be used to assess the total and central airway resistance at 5 Hz (R5) and 20 Hz (R20), respectively, and hence derive the peripheral airway resistance from the difference (R5-R20). We compared spirometry and IOS as tests of global airway function (i.e., FEV1, FEV1/FVC, R5) and putative measures of small airways function (i.e., FEF25-75, R5-R20) and their relationship to oral steroid and short-acting beta-agonist (SABA) use as surrogates for long-term asthma control.
Spirometry and IOS measurements from physician-diagnosed asthmatics were linked to a health informatics database for oral steroid and SABA use 1 year prior to the index measurements.
Four hundred forty-two patients had both spirometry and IOS, mean FEV1 = 86 % predicted, 94 % on ICS, median dose 800 µg/day. IOS and spirometry measures were equally predictive of impaired asthma control for both oral steroid and SABA use. For oral steroid use, the adjusted odds ratio, OR (95 % CI) is as follows: FEV1 < 80 %: 1.56(0.99-2.47), p = 0.056; FEV1/FVC < 0.70: 1.67(1.03-2.69), p = 0.037; FEF25-75 < 60 %: 1.84(1.18-2.86), p = 0.007; R5 > 150 %: 1.91(1.25-2.95), p = 0.003; and R5-R20 > 0.1 kPa L(-1) s 1.73(1.12-2.66), p = 0.013. For SABA use, the adjusted OR (95 % CI) is as follows: FEV1 < 80 %: 2.22(1.43-3.44), p < 0.001; FEV1/FVC < 0.70: 2.26(1.44-3.57), p < 0.001; FEF25-75 < 60 %: 2.51(1.65-3.82), p < 0.001; R5 > 150 %: 1.76(1.18-2.63), p = 0.006; and R5-R20 > 0.1 kPa L(-1) s: 2.94(1.94-4.46), p < 0.001.
Spirometry or IOS measurements were equally useful as potential markers of asthma control in persistent asthmatic patients.
指南提倡使用肺活量测定法来评估哮喘患者的肺功能。常用的指标包括 1 秒用力呼气量(FEV1)、用力呼气比值(FEV1/FVC)以及用力呼出 25%至 75%肺活量时的中间呼气流速(FEF25-75)。脉冲震荡(IOS)是一种在潮气呼吸时进行的无需用力的测试。IOS 可用于分别评估 5 Hz(R5)和 20 Hz(R20)时的总气道阻力和中央气道阻力,并由此得出外周气道阻力的差值(R5-R20)。我们比较了肺活量测定法和 IOS,以评估气道整体功能(即 FEV1、FEV1/FVC、R5)和可能的小气道功能指标(即 FEF25-75、R5-R20),并将其与口服皮质类固醇和短效β-激动剂(SABA)的使用情况进行了比较,以作为长期哮喘控制的替代指标。
将经医生诊断的哮喘患者的肺活量测定法和 IOS 测量值与健康信息数据库相关联,以了解他们在进行指数测量前 1 年内口服皮质类固醇和 SABA 的使用情况。
共有 442 例患者同时进行了肺活量测定法和 IOS 检查,平均 FEV1 为预计值的 86%,94%的患者使用 ICS,中位剂量为 800 μg/天。IOS 和肺活量测定法的测量结果均能预测口服皮质类固醇和 SABA 使用情况对哮喘控制的影响。对于口服皮质类固醇的使用,调整后的比值比(OR)(95%CI)如下:FEV1 < 80%:1.56(0.99-2.47),p = 0.056;FEV1/FVC < 0.70:1.67(1.03-2.69),p = 0.037;FEF25-75 < 60%:1.84(1.18-2.86),p = 0.007;R5 > 150%:1.91(1.25-2.95),p = 0.003;以及 R5-R20 > 0.1 kPa L(-1) s:1.73(1.12-2.66),p = 0.013。对于 SABA 的使用,调整后的 OR(95%CI)如下:FEV1 < 80%:2.22(1.43-3.44),p < 0.001;FEV1/FVC < 0.70:2.26(1.44-3.57),p < 0.001;FEF25-75 < 60%:2.51(1.65-3.82),p < 0.001;R5 > 150%:1.76(1.18-2.63),p = 0.006;以及 R5-R20 > 0.1 kPa L(-1) s:2.94(1.94-4.46),p < 0.001。
在持续性哮喘患者中,肺活量测定法或 IOS 测量结果同样可作为哮喘控制的潜在标志物。
