متن کاملSerum Myeloperoxidase as A Biomarker of Asthma Severity Among Adults: A Case Control Study
Background: The contribution of neutrophils is still indistinct in the inflammatory response of bronchial asthma (BAs). Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is an enzyme released from the primary azurophilic granules of the neutrophils. The study aimed to evaluate the levels of serum MPO as a biomarker for the assessment of the level of asthma control. Methods: The study participants included 94 asthmat...
متن کاملThe compliance to acute asthma management protocols in paediatric emergency department.
Asthma guidelines should be followed closely to ensure improvement and consistency of outcome. In order to measure compliance with local acute asthma protocols, we reviewed notes of children presenting to our ED with acute asthma.

متن کاملAssessment of asthma severity in adults with ever asthma: A continuous score
BACKGROUND In epidemiological studies, continuous measures of asthma severity should be used to catch the heterogeneity of phenotypes. This study aimed at developing and validating continuous measures of asthma severity in adult patients with ever asthma from the general population, to be used in epidemiological studies. METHODS Respiratory symptoms, anti-asthmatic treatment and lung function...
