“…Hence, a low knowledge level may lead to a moderate QoL among the affected children. Fontan et al, 15 reported that children with asthma have an impaired QoL. Quality of life has 3 main domains, namely, activity limitation, symptoms, and emotional function.…”

Objectives: To examine asthma prevalence and the relationship between the level of knowledge and quality of life (QoL) among asthmatic secondary school children aged 13-14 years old in Malaysia.Methods: A cross-sectional design was employed. Data was collected through a self-administered questionnaire containing demographic characteristics, asthma symptoms, knowledge on asthma, and QoL.Results: Data from 2891 asthmatic schoolchildren aged 13-14 years old from secondary schools in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, were analyzed. According to the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC) scoring for asthma prevalence, the number of children who exhibited signs and symptoms of asthma was 9% (n=260). The mean score for total knowledge indicated a low knowledge level (82.7%). No significant relationship was found between knowledge level and QoL. Only the race factor was associated with asthma knowledge. Conclusion:This study has provided valuable information on asthma prevalence among Malaysian adolescents and their knowledge on asthma condition. Further research should explore the correlation factors of asthma knowledge and QoL.

“…O sexo masculino foi o que apresentou um maior número de casos de asmáticos e a idade mais comum foi de 6 anos completos, com relação a variável consulta prevalece os pacientes apresentam uma única consulta apresentando concordância com outros estudos disponíveis (Banjari et al, 2018;Akar-Ghibril et al,2020;Carvalho-Pinto et al,2021). O estudo destaca que a maioria dos pacientes fazem o uso da medicação prescrita para controle da asma e que fazem o uso contínuo de corticoide inalatório (Fontan et al,2020;Basharat et al,2021). Em relação ao uso de medicações de resgaste a maioria dos pacientes utiliza o beta 2 de curta duração (Aerolin, Fenoterol) (n=76; 67,85%) (Szefler & Chipps, 2018;Pike et al,2018;Lu & Forno, 2020;Pennington et al, 2021).…”

“…Estudos transversais também sugerem que asmáticos obesos têm inflamação das vias aéreas com predomínio neutrofílico. Esse padrão inflamatório ocorre mais em mulheres asmáticas obesas, constituindo o fenótipo asma/obesidade (Guentar et al, 2018;Akar-Ghibril et al, 2020;Fontan et al, 2020).…”

“…por conta da limitação respiratória da doença (Kelada et al, 2021;Mphahlele et al, 2021). Com relação a apresentação de sintomas diurnos da asma mais de 2 vezes por semana a maioria não apresenta sintomas (n=132, 49,8%) o que justifica que os pacientes podem apresentar controle da asma devido a ausência de sintomas (Peters et al, 2018;Fontan et al, 2020;Ross et al, 2020).…”

“…O controle da asma é definido pela medida em que as manifestações clínicas são reduzidas, diminuídas ou eliminadas com o tratamento. O controle dessa patologia é determinado pela associação entre fatores genéticos individuais, expressão fenotípica, tratamento adequado, adesão, técnica de inalação, resposta à terapia, controle ambiental, exposição a elementos desencadeantes, fatores psicossociais e socioeconômicos (Peters et al, 2018;Fontan et al, 2020). A avaliação do controle da asma é importante para orientar o tratamento e para fornecer informações sobre a progressão da doença.…”

A asma é definida como uma doença inflamatória crônica, de natureza heterogênea, muito comum na faixa etária pediátrica comprometendo as vias aéreas inferiores e cursa com episódios intermitentes de chiado no peito, dispneia com piora significativa durante a noite ou pela manhã, dor torácica com acentuação dos sintomas após exposição a alérgenos. O objetivo do estudo é avaliar o nível de controle da asma em pacientes de 6 a 11 anos atendidos entre abril de 2021 a junho 2022, em Hospital Público Pediátrico de referência de Teresina-PI. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, transversal e retrospectivo, no qual foram avaliados registros de consultas médicas em prontuários, para análise do nível de controle da asma e de fatores relacionados a este controle. O estudo foi realizado com uma amostra com 265 prontuários médicos. Todas as diretrizes de asma sugerem que o controle da asma deve ser avaliado sempre que possível, para verificar e orientar o manejo da doença e o tratamento adequado, existem muitas medidas disponíveis para avaliar o controle da asma e cada uma delas analisa diferentes aspectos em relação ao paciente asmático. É importante afirmar que o uso de mais de uma medida para avaliar o controle da asma fornecerá à equipe de saúde uma melhor informação sobre o controle e a progressão da doença e, portanto, possibilitará um melhor manejo do tratamento. É importante notar que antes de mudar a medicação, o médico deve avaliar o diagnóstico, a adesão ao tratamento e técnica adequada de inalação.
