This study aimed to evaluate our treatment policy based on the international consensus. Peak expiratory flow (PEF), dynamic spirometry and bronchodilation test results were therefore collected in 195 school-aged patients who visited our outpatient clinic in 1995. Sixty-four ch...

متن کاملCorticosteroid Therapy for Patients Hospitalized With Community-Acquired Pneumonia.
Data Synthesis: The median age was typically in the 60s, and approximately 60% of patients were male. Adjunctive corticosteroids were associated with possible reductions in all-cause mortality (12 trials; 1974 patients; risk ratio [RR], 0.67 [95% CI, 0.45 to 1.01]; risk difference [RD], 2.8%; moderate certainty), need for mechanical ventilation (5 trials; 1060 patients; RR, 0.45 [CI, 0.26 to 0....
متن کاملInhaled corticosteroid therapy for asthma in preschool children: growth issues.
Although inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) have emerged as the preventive treatment of choice for persistent asthma, few studies have been conducted in infants and very young children that assess the benefits and risks of ICS therapy, particularly with regard to growth. Oral glucocorticoids inhibit growth at multiple levels by blunting pulsatile growth hormone (GH) secretion, decreasing insulin-lik...
