Retrospective secondary data collection observational chart review study. Data collection and analysis will be performed on a cohort of patients who have previously been enrolled on the BPAP. Approximately 300 patients taking part in the BPAP between April 2018 and November 2019 and who meet the eligibility criteria will be recruited to participate in the study. Data for each participant in the study will be obtained retrospectively with a focus on obtaining data at baseline (12 months prior to first benralizumab dose or at first assessment in the severe asthma center if <12 months), Index date (date of first benralizumab dose) and at least up to 24 months after index date. Primary Objectives - To describe baseline demographic and clinical characteristics of severe eosinophilic asthma patients enrolled in the BPAP - To describe background treatment patterns of severe eosinophilic asthma patients at baseline and after benralizumab initiation Secondary Objectives: - To describe clinical outcomes after initiation of benralizumab therapy in severe eosinophilic asthma patients treated with benralizumab at 12 and 24 months - To describe patients' adherence to benralizumab, persistence and discontinuation rates and reasons for discontinuation at 12 and 24 months
Asthma is an inflammatory condition which is characterized by coughing, sneezing, and shortness of breath. The ratio of asthma is increasing day by day around the globe. According to an estimate, more than 300 million people are affected from this chronic respiratory disorder throughout the world. The asthma is diagnosis on basis of sign and symptoms as there is no gold standard of evaluating the asthma. There are basically two treatment strategies for asthma involving medical management and physiotherapy treatment. In medical treatment, steroid drugs and bronchodilators are given to asthmatic patients. Now a day, the physiotherapy treatment has gained much importance. There are numerous physiotherapy approaches available for rehabilitating asthma patients such as breathing techniques, yoga, and relaxation exercises. Buteyko technique includes three steps (control pause, shallow breathing and combination of step 1 & 2). While, papworth method includes five steps (breathing, education, relaxation, combination of breathing and relaxation exercise and home exercises). The randomized clinical trials will be conducted for this study and data will be calculated using simple random sampling technique. The study will be carried out in Clinical Private (Farooq Clinic) setting Khushab and THQ Khushab for a period of 10 months after approval from research and ethical committee. Firstly, consent will be taken from the study participants. Screening will be done using WHO Quality of Life Scale questionnaire and asthma control test adult scores. Lung spirometry values (FVC, FEV1, & FEV1/FVC) and oxygen saturation will be evaluated at baseline, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks. Patients will be divided into two groups. Group A & Group B. Buteyko breathing technique will be performed to Group A patients and papworth method will be performed to Group B. Chest physiotherapy will be performed to both groups as a conservative treatment at baseline, 2 weeks, and 4weeks
This study aims to examine the effects of a digital game designed for respiratory training in childhood asthma. Fifteen children aged 8-14 years with asthma were included in the study. There were two groups a digital game group (n=9) and a control group (n=6). Respiratory training was given to the digital game group with a digital game. The control group was followed with medication. Both groups were evaluated at baseline and after 3 weeks.
The aim of this study was to compare the duration of breast milk intake, vitamin D intake, asthma control level and physical activity levels between obese asthmatic children and non-obese children. This was a prospective study in children aged 8-17 years with asthma. Asthma control level was evaluated by asthma control test and physical activity level was evaluated by Physical Activity Questionnaire for Children (IPAQ-C) and leisure time activity scale.
A prospective study in Beni-Seuf University Hospital that was conducted on 123 adult patients with acute asthma exacerbations. Patients were classified into group (I): received IV magnesium sulfate, group (II): received nebulized magnesium sulfate, and group (III): control group. Blood pressure, respiratory rate, pulse, peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) measurement using a peak flowmeter, Fischl index and need for hospitalization in patients with acute bronchial asthma were done for all patients before treatment, immediately after the treatment, "30", and "60" min after treatment.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the incentive spirometer on asthma during pregnancy.
This randomized control trial design (RCT) study was conducted on children aged 6 -11 years
A study to assess bronchospasm potentially induced by HFO MDI as compared with HFA MDI in participants with well controlled or partially controlled asthma
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential for cardiac repolarization, according to electrocardiographic monitoring (including QT and QTc intervals), of two dose levels of CHF5993 pMDI (beclomethasone dipropionate/formoterol fumarate/glycopyrronium bromide (BDP/FF/GB)) and of one dose of CHF5259 (GB) in healthy subjects compared to moxifloxacin and placebo.
