METHOD OF ESTIMATING LEVEL OF BRONCHIAL ASTHMA CONTROL IN CHILDREN

摘要

FIELD: medicine.;SUBSTANCE: invention relates to field of medicine, namely to pediatrics. In order to estimate level of bronchial asthma control in children analysis of night symptoms in patient and determination of characteristics of lung function are carried out. Frequency of night attacks, peak rate of exhalation in child, mother and father are evaluated. Additionally determined are: child's, mother's and father's age and height. Taken into account are: content of total Immunoglobulin E in child, child's chest circumference, age at the beginning of disease, duration of disease, duration of anti-inflammatory therapy, coefficient of gender identity, volume of performed anti-inflammatory therapy, treatment with inhalation glucocortocosteroids separately and together with inhalation long-acting β₂-agonists, application of cromones, application of antileukotriene drugs, passive or active smoking, atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, sensibilisation to household, epidermal and pollen allergens. Level of bronchial asthma control is estimated by value of coefficient obtained in application of discriminant analysis.;EFFECT: method makes it possible to increase accuracy of estimation of level of bronchial asthma control in children due to determination of lung function characteristics taking into account contribution of inheritance factor and time factor, volume of performed treatment, accompanying atopic diseases, spectrum of child's sensibilisation, individual anthropometric characteristics of child and their parents.;3 ex
