Effects of 22 Months of Treatment with Inhaled Corticosteroids and/or Beta-2-Agonists on Lung Function, Airway Responsiveness, and Symptoms in Children with Asthma

Abstract: In a randomized double-blind multicenter clinical study, 116 children with asthma were randomly assigned to treatment with an inhaled beta-2-agonist (salbutamol 0.2 mg) plus an inhaled corticosteroid (budesonide 0.2 mg) three times a day (BA+CS) or to an inhaled beta-2-agonist (salbutamol 0.2 mg) plus a placebo three times a day (BA+PL). After a median follow-up time of 22 months, 26 patients receiving BA+PL (45%) had withdrawn from randomized treatment, mainly because of asthma symptoms, compared with three w… Show more

“…Jan Bjure from Sweden was investigating various aspects of exercise physiology and lung function in children and, more recently, in the investigation of cerebral blood flow. Kjell Aas and Svein Oseid in Norway were documenting allergic aspects of childhood asthma (45), while in the Netherlands, Karel Kerrebijn was setting up epidemiologic studies of childhood asthma that produced much important data (46) and are still doing so today. In France, Claude Gaultier has been one of the pioneers in pediatric lung physiology.…”

Entre os vários métodos, dois foram adequadamente validados 10 : o método cintigráfico e o método farmacocinético, este último utilizando carvão vegetal para adsorver a fração ingerida da droga administrada por via inalatória.…”

“…The severity of bronchial responsiveness defined patients with a better overall response to inhaled corticosteriods, since improvement in PC,, with corticosteroids was also more pronounced in younger patients with less airways obstruction and more easily reversible airway obstruction. Long-term treatment with inhaled corticosteroids may diminish the number and activation state of inflammatory cells in the airways dramatically; nevertheless, it does not normalize bronchial responsiveness (94)(95)(96), or does so only in a few patients with mild asthma.…”
