Although 90% of asthmatic patients suffer from mild and moderate disease, little is known about the burden on health status and quality of life, the long-term trajectory of disease severity, and the socio-economic impact. The Mild Moderated Asthma Network of Italy (MANI) is a real-world, cross-sectional, prospective, observational cohort study designed to explore these issues. Here we aimed to provide an identikit of asthmatic patients receiving treatment according to GINA steps 1-4, and enrolled in the centers of excellence participating in the MANI. Among 679 analyzed patients, 63% were female, and the mean age was 50 ± 16 years. Asthma was mild in 15.8% of patients (GINA steps 1-2) and moderate in 84.2% (GINA steps 3-4). The mean age of asthma diagnosis was 34.3 ± 17.7 years, 50% of patients were suffering from allergic rhinitis, and 13% from nasal polyposis. Mean FEV1% was 91.4 ± 19.4%, predicted with a FEV1/FVC ratio of 74.7 ± 11.9. The mean asthma control test value was 21.2 ± 3.73, and AQLQ score was 5.74 ± 1.07. Among the included patients, 17.2% had at least one asthma exacerbation in the previous year, with 14.2% requiring systemic steroids; 6.2% were referred to an emergency room in the year prior to enrollment; 2.2% required an asthma-related hospitalization; and 0.6% had been admitted to an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Unscheduled visits were necessary for 3.8% of patients, 6.5% reported ≥5 lost work days due to asthma, and 11.5% declared ≥10 lost days of spare time. About 70% of patients were receiving treatment according to GINA Track 1. Uncontrolled cases constituted 16.7% of patients treated according to GINA steps 1-2, and 26.3% of patients treated according to GINA steps 3-4 were uncontrolled. Compared to patients with mild asthma, those with moderate asthma had more impaired lung function (FEV1% 88.5 ± 18.4 vs 94.4 ± 17.9, p = 0.05; FEV1/FVC 73.0 ± 9.76 vs 79.6 ± 9.56, p > 0.001), exhibited greater need for systemic corticosteroids for treating exacerbations (13.8% vs 2.3%, p = 0.032), and showed greater adherence to therapy (TAI score 50.0 ± 5.66 vs 45.7 ± 8.42, p < 0.001). Overall, mild/moderate asthma exhibited a substantial clinical and care impact. Patients treated with GINA steps 3-4 constituted the vast majority of patients attending specialist centers. A quarter of these patients were uncontrolled, and therefore need re-evaluation or treatment upgrade. Expanding recruitment of the MANI study will allow further phenotyping of these patients.
尽管90%的哮喘患者患有轻度和中度疾病,但对于其对健康状况和生活质量的负担、疾病严重程度的长期轨迹以及社会经济影响,我们了解甚少。意大利轻度中度哮喘网络(MANI)是一项真实世界、横断面、前瞻性观察队列研究,旨在探索这些问题。在此,我们旨在提供一份按照全球哮喘防治创议(GINA)第1 - 4步接受治疗且登记参与MANI卓越中心研究的哮喘患者概况。在679例分析患者中,63%为女性,平均年龄为50±16岁。15.8%的患者哮喘为轻度(GINA第1 - 2步),84.2%为中度(GINA第3 - 4步)。哮喘诊断的平均年龄为34.3±17.7岁,50%的患者患有过敏性鼻炎,13%患有鼻息肉。平均第一秒用力呼气容积(FEV1)百分比为91.4±19.4%,FEV1/用力肺活量(FVC)比值为74.7±11.9。哮喘控制测试平均得分为21.2±3.73,哮喘生活质量问卷(AQLQ)评分为5.74±1.07。在纳入患者中,17.2%的患者在前一年至少有一次哮喘发作,其中14.2%需要全身使用类固醇;6.2%在入组前一年被送往急诊室;2.2%需要因哮喘住院治疗;0.6%曾入住重症监护病房(ICU)。3.8%的患者需要进行非计划就诊,6.5%的患者报告因哮喘误工天数≥5天,11.5%的患者宣称休闲时间损失天数≥10天。约70%的患者按照GINA第1条路径接受治疗。按照GINA第1 - 2步治疗的患者中,16.7%为控制不佳病例;按照GINA第3 - 4步治疗的患者中,26.3%为控制不佳病例。与轻度哮喘患者相比,中度哮喘患者的肺功能受损更严重(FEV1% 88.5±18.4 vs 94.4±17.9,p = 0.05;FEV1/FVC 73.0±9.76 vs 79.6±9.56,p>0.001),治疗发作时对全身皮质类固醇的需求更大(13.8% vs 2.3%,p = 0.032),且对治疗的依从性更高(治疗依从性指数(TAI)评分50.0±5.66 vs 45.7±8.42,p<0.001)。总体而言,轻度/中度哮喘表现出显著的临床和护理影响。按照GINA第3 - 4步治疗的患者占专科中心就诊患者的绝大多数。这些患者中有四分之一控制不佳,因此需要重新评估或升级治疗。扩大MANI研究的招募将有助于对这些患者进行进一步的表型分析。
