▼ TITLE: A Behavioral Study of Digital Technology for Improving Post-Operative Incentive Spirometer Adherence
Laura Banashek, BA, John Pearson, MD, Charles Safran, MD
Purpose: This study seeks to determine whether incentive spirometer (IS) data gathered via a smartphone platform can be utilized to determine baseline adherence to prescribed IS exercises, as well as improve patient adherence in the post-operative period. A customized smartphone-based device will be the primary intervention and will record as well as encourage use of prescribed spirometer exercises through a connected spirometer device (Smart Peak FlowTM) and smartphone-based app. By establishing a dose-response relationship between IS and post-operative pulmonary complications (PPCs), we can make a more informed decision regarding the use of IS in the post-operative period.
Methods: This study is a prospective, randomized, participant blinded, single center, clinical trial. Based on our planned analysis, we expect to enroll 50 patients (25 in each arm). The control group will be given the BIDMC standard VoldyneTM IS with an attached Smart Peak FlowTM device to passively record usage. The study group will be given the Smart Peak FlowTM device connected to an android smartphone to record usage. Patients in the study group will also utilize a smartphone application to view their usage and receive encouragement to continue using their device.
Results: Due to delays in device development, outcomes data are not currently available for analysis. However, we plan to begin recruiting participants over the next two to three months. The primary endpoint is patient adherence to prescribed IS exercises in the perioperative period. Secondary outcomes are largely clinical and included PPCs as measured by atelectasis, respiratory failure, tracheobronchial infection, or pneumonia. Other secondary measures include total mortality from respiratory causes, all other post-op complications, length of in hospital stay, all-cause mortality, and cost analysis.
Conclusions: Incentive spirometry has been a mainstay of affordable PPC prevention for decades, but a lack of adherence data (whether due to imperfect use or imperfect data capture) has led many to question the true clinical effectiveness of this intervention. Our study utilizes a custom IS and Smart Peak FlowTM meter to measure and record baseline adherence data on a smartphone platform. Once we have a more reliable measure of baseline adherence, we can analyze the dose-response relationship between IS exercises and the incidence of PPCs. This will provide more conclusive evidence to support either the continued use of post-operative IS or its discontinuation.

▼ Background Children with neuromuscular disorders (NMD) have progressive loss of muscle strength and function which can lead to respiratory failure. Postural change in spirometry has been previously used in adult patients to detect diaphragmatic dysfunction, sleep disordered breathing and early respiratory failure. Postural spirometry changes in children with NMD have been advocated in guidelines for the assessment of NMD but not extensively studied. Aim To explore the relationship between postural changes in forced vital capacity [FVC] and polysomnography (PSG) in the assessment of early sleep disordered breathing in children with NMD. Method In this prospective cross sectional study, children with NMD from neurogenetic and respiratory clinics performed spirometry in sitting (si) and supine (su) position. Control group consisting of age and gender matched healthy children also underwent lung function testing. PSG was performed within 6 months of spirometry. Spirometry was acceptable according to ATS standards and PSGs scored according to AASM guidelines. Results Of 40 children with NMD who performed spirometry, 30 were able to perform acceptable supine spirometry. Underlying diagnoses were heterogeneous, with majority having Duchenne Muscular dystrophy (n=17). Mean age was 12.3 years (range 8 to 17yrs,SD ±3) with 21 males and 9 females. Mean FEV1sit and FVCsit were 78% (SD ±22) and 75%(SD±20.4) respectively. SpO2 mean 96% [92 to 98%] and SpO2 nadir was 87% (84 to 96%). Mean% ΔFVC (sit – sup) in these children was 9% (range +6 to -28%,SD±11). When compared with control group, there was a significant difference in supine spirometry between the two groups (p<0.001). PSG data was available on 30 children with NMD. Mean total AHI 6.9/hr (0.3 to 29,±5.9), obstructive AHI 5.2/hr (0.2 to 10), REM AHI 14.3/hr (0.1 to 34.7). On comparing supine spirometry with Total AHI, there was a moderate correlation with with presence of sleep disordered breathing (r=0.62, p=0.001) in those breathing spontaneously. Children established on non-invasive ventilation (NIV) showed a poor correlation with supine spirometry. In order to demonstrate the relationship of supine spirometry with evidence of hypoventilation, correlation was performed between change in postural spirometry and rise in CO2 from non-Rem to REM sleep. The mean (SD) rise was 6mmHg (±1.9) with a range of 4 mmHg to 11 mmHg. Coefficient of correlation was 0.04 (p=0.8) and therefore was not significant. When the NMD group was split between those spontaneously breathing and those established on NIV, there was a poor correlation between supine spirometry and rise in CO2 in both the groups spontaneously breathing (r=0.02,p=0.9) NIV (r=0.13,p=0.74) Conclusion In this cohort study, children with NMD with mild restrictive lung disease have postural changes in spirometry which are significantly greater than healthy controls. The changes in supine spirometry however do not correlate with nocturnal hypoventilation on polysomnography in patients with mild neuromuscular disease

▼ Pulmonary function testing, such as
spirometry is a validated method to evaluate lung mechanics and resistance of the conducting airways. Until this moment there is very limited experience in the use of
spirometry in small cetaceans.
In this study 13 harbour porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) and 7 bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) were measured using a pneumotachograph specifically designed for this purpose. They were measured inside as well as outside the water. Three of the animals had confirmed respiratory disorders. The measurements were well tolerated and the results were reproducible and reliable. The results represented a good overview of spirometric data in small cetaceans. Correlations were found in the porpoises between body size and spirometric data. Furthermore, differences were found in bottlenose dolphins while inside or outside the water, and in both species in animals with confirmed lung disorders. Because of the limited number of animals further studies are needed to confirm these findings.

▼ Introdução: Os distúrbios ventilatórios decorrente do comprometimento pulmonar da tuberculose ainda é incerto. A importância da tuberculose na população carcerária é motivo de preocupação mundial. As condições precárias de confinamento favorecem tanto a evolução da infecção para doença, como a sua transmissão. Mesmo antes da prisão, muitos detentos estão expostos a fatores de alto risco para a doença, como desnutrição, higiene escassa, aglomeração de pessoas, residência com pouca ventilação. Objetivo: Estudar a função pulmonar através da espirometria em uma amostra de detentos de duas penitenciárias do município de Guarulhos. Metodologia: Estudo descritivo realizado em duas penitenciárias no município de Guarulhos no período de março de 2008 a maio de 2008. Este estudo fez parte do projeto de pesquisa: A Tuberculose no sistema prisional estudo em duas penitenciárias da cidade de Guarulhos SP, com o objetivo de avaliar diferentes métodos de busca de casos de tuberculose pulmonar, neste sentido foi realizado, aproveitando a população, uma avaliação da capacidade pulmonar através da espirometria. Após a realização do questionário e exames previsto no estudo principal, os detentos que relatavam história de tuberculose no passado ou atualmente, algum comprometimento respiratório, foram indicados para realizar o exame de espirometria. Resultados: Dos 2.436 presos foram indicados 629 indivíduos, 486 não conseguiram realizar a espirometria ,sendo que 143 foram incluídos no estudo. A população estudada constitui-se de homens com a idade media de 34 anos. Cerca de 55,2 por cento da população estudada está em regime fechado há mais de 12 meses. Dos indivíduos que relataram tuberculose no passado, 40,9 por cento apresentaram resultado espirométrico restritivo. Os que relataram doenças pulmonares 22,9 por cento apresentaram resultado espirométrico restritivo. Conclusão: Apesar de muitos detentos apresentarem resultado espirometrico normal, foi identificado que 38,9 por cento dos detentos que relataram doença pulmonar apresentam distúrbio ventilatório. A descoberta do distúrbio ventilatório apresentado pelo preso é de grande importância, pois, deste modo pode ser iniciado o tratamento de doenças respiratórias, melhora dos sintomas e da qualidade de vida desta população.
Introduction: Ventilatory disorders due to pulmonary tuberculosis damage are yet uncertain. The relevance of tuberculosis among prison population is a reason of world concern. The precarious conditions of confinement promote as the evolution of the infection through a disease as its transmission.Even before prison, many prisoners are exposed to high risk factors of getting ill, such as malnutrition, lousy hygiene, people agglomeration, and bad ventilation. Objective: To study the pulmonary function through spirometry in a sample formed by prisoners of two prisions from the municipality of Guarulhos.Methodology: Descriptive study made in two prisions of the municipality of Guarulhos. Data were collected between March and May of 2008. This study has composed…

▼ Physician training influences the care that a patient
receives. A retrospective cohort of children over 6 years of age,
seen in a multi-disciplinary asthma clinic between 2009 and 2010
and followed to 2012, was completed to identify differences in
pediatric asthma management by physician specialty. Multilevel
logistic regression analysis examined differences by physician
specialty for prescribed inhaled corticosteroids (ICS). Over 56% of
the patients were seen by pediatric respirologists, 26% by
pediatric allergists and 18% by pediatricians. Differences in
investigations by specialty reflected on co-morbid diagnoses and
treatment. Pediatricians were less likely to prescribe ICS (OR:
0.39; 95% CI: 0.15 – 0.96, p<0.05) than pediatric allergists
with the greatest difference in ICS prescription among children
with a %FEV1 greater than 80%. Treatment with ICS among children
with mild asthma is most heavily influenced by physician specialty.
The results of this study have implications for asthma management
in future asthma practice guidelines.

▼ Abstract: Background: Obstructive lung diseases of different etiologies present with progressive peripheral airway involvement. The peripheral airways, known as silent lung zone, are not adequately evaluated with conventional function tests. The principle of gas washout has been used to detect pulmonary ventilation inhomogeneity and to estimate the location of the underlying disease process. Volumetric capnography (VC) analyses the pattern of CO2 elimination as a function of expired volume. Objective: to measure normalized phase 3 slopes with VC in patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCB) and in bronchitic patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in order to compare the slopes obtained for the groups. Methods: NCB and severe COPD were enrolled sequentially from an outpatient clinic (Universitary Hospital). A control group was established for NCB group, paired by sex and age. All subjects performed
spirometry, VC and Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT). Two comparisons were made: NCB group vs its control group, and NCB group vs COPD group. The project was approved by the ethical committee of the institution. Statistical tests used were Wilcoxon or Student t-test; statistically significant difference considered with p<0.05. Results: Concerning NCB group (N=20) vs control group (N=20), significant differences were found in BMI and in several functional variables (spirometric, CV, 6MWT) with the worse results observed in NCB group. In the comparison between the COPD group (N=20) vs NCB group, although patients with COPD have had worse spirometric and 6MWT values, the capnographic variables Slp2, Slp3/Ve and Slp3/EtCO2 were similar. Conclusion: These findings may indicate that the gas elimination curves are not sensitive enough to monitor the severity of structural abnormalities. The role of normalized phase 3 slope may be worth explore as a more sensitive index of small airway disease, even though it may not be equally sensitive in discriminating the severity of the alterations

▼ Background: Differences in lung function between people of varying ethnic origins are recognised, but the underlying physiological reasons have not been widely explored. Aims: The overall aim was to explore the physiological basis of differences in spirometry between white and South Asian children. Methods: We measured spirometry and maximum inspiratory pressures (MIP and MEP) in 307 children aged five to eleven years in primary schools. Spirometry included FEV1 and FVC. A subgroup of 37 children attended the laboratory for plethysmography and attempted measurements of distensibility of the respiratory system, made by measuring pressure and volume after brief interruptions of tidal breathing. Lung volumes were available from an additional 122 healthy children aged 7 to 16 years. Lung volume measurements were expressed as Z-scores based on predicted values for white children. Results: The mean(SD) FEV1 Z-scores for white and South Asian children were 0.17(1.01)and-0.55(0.97) respectively(p<0.001). Corresponding FVC Z-scores were 0.36(1.02) and-0.67(0.94), (p<0.001). We did not find significant ethnic differences in MIP or MEP. Adjusted mean(SD) MIP(kPa) was 7.51(1.99) for white and 7.02(1.91) for South Asians (p=0.14). Equivalent values for MEP(kPa) were 6.29(1.58) and 6.46(1.53), (p=0.48). Mean(SD) Z-scores for Total Lung Capacity were larger in white than south Asian children:(0.29(0.09) and -0.59(0.82) respectively, p<0.001). Mean(SD) Z-scores for Residual Volume were also larger in white children: (0.04(0.76) and -0.28(0.89) respectively, p=0.039). The measurements of distensibility yielded potentially useful data in 16/37 (43%) of children. Conclusions: Absolute lung volumes were lower in south Asian than white children. We did not find significant differences in respiratory muscle strength between two ethnic groups that would account for differences in spirometry. The distensibility of the respiratory system can be measured in almost half of children. Further work may show whether ethnic differences in distensibility exist, which could explain differences in spirometry.

▼ The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence recommends spirometry and exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) testing in children from five years for diagnosis, and spirometry for asthma monitoring. However, there is limited paediatric spirometry and eNO data in UK primary care to support this. Using the principles of a type 3 hybrid study design, this was a prospective observational study with the dual objectives of exploring the implementation and clinical outcomes related to provision of spirometry and eNO testing for children in general practice. Firstly, to quantify the training and capacity requirements needed in general practice to deliver routine spirometry and eNO testing for children, and secondly to explore what additional information these tests provide and how they relate to current symptoms and asthma attacks. Ten general practices (GP) participated. GP staff were trained to perform and interpret spirometry and eNO. Children aged 5-16 with suspected or doctor-diagnosed asthma were invited to attend a review. Spirometry and eNO data, Asthma Control Test (ACT) scores, and number of UHAs in the previous six months were recorded. Follow up ACTs were sent out, and patient records were reviewed, six months later. We demonstrated that it is possible to train GP staff to obtain quality spirometry and eNO data from most children in the GP setting, and that the tests are acceptable to staff and families. Of the 612 children recruited, 24% had abnormal spirometry and 36% had raised eNO. 54% of children reporting good asthma control had abnormal spirometry or raised eNO, whilst 49% of children reporting poor control had normal tests. We conclude that abnormal lung function is prevalent in children managed for asthma in primary care, and assessing asthma based on symptoms' alone is inadequate. The role of objective test targeted children's asthma management in primary care warrants further study.

▼ Introdução: A doença de Parkinson (DP) provoca uma série de distúrbios de movimento que afetam as funções diárias dos sujeitos. Alterações em testes pulmonares têm sido reportadas em pacientes com DP, mas ainda há dúvidas se tais alterações representam disfunções ocasionadas pela doença ou consistem efeitos deletérios do declínio físico. Neste sentido, foram avaliados nesta dissertação os parâmetros pulmonares de sujeitos com DP no estágio inicial da doença e investigamos como a medicação anti-parkinsoniana afeta tal processo. Métodos: Vinte participantes com DP idiopática (idade: 69,0±7,0 anos, Hoehn-Yahr: 1,5±1,0, UPDRS-III: 24,5±6,5) e vinte indivíduos controles saudáveis (idade: 64,5±15,5 anos) foram avaliados através da cirtometria, espirometria e oscilometria de impulso (IOS). Os participantes com DP foram avaliados durante as fases on e off da medicação anti-parkinsoniana, e tiveram a sua medicação convertida em Dose Diária Equivalente de Levodopa (DDEL). A análise dos dados envolveu o teste de U de Mann-Whitney para comparar o grupo DP (fase off) com o grupo controle, e o teste de Wilcoxon para analisar o grupo DP sob o efeito ou não da medicação anti-parkinsoniana (fases on versus off). O nível de significância foi estipulado em 5%. Resultados: Ambos os grupos apresentaram-se homogêneos para idade, peso, altura, índice de massa corporal e cirtometria torácica. Os valores de espirometria e IOS foram semelhantes entre os grupos (p>0,05 em todas as comparações). Os participantes com DP obtiveram um DDEL de 750,0±250,0, com análises pareadas demonstrando ausência de efeito da medicação anti-parkinsoniana sobre nos parâmetros pulmonares. Conclusão: Participantes com DP em estágios iniciais apresentam parâmetros pulmonares semelhantes a indivíduos controles, indicando que os distúrbios pulmonares devem estar mais relacionados ao declínio físico do que representar um sintoma da doença.

▼ Introduction: The leukemias are the most common malignancy in children and
adolescents. With the improvement in outcomes, there is a need to consider the
morbidity to generate the protocols used in children under treatment. Aim: To
evaluate pulmonary function in children with acute leukemia. Method: This study is
an observational cross sectional. We evaluated 34 children distributed in groups A
and B. Group A comprised 17 children with acute leukemia in the maintenance phase
of chemotherapy treatment and group B with 17 healthy students from the public in
the city of Natal / RN, matched for gender, age and height. The thoracic mobility was
evaluated by thoracic expansion in the axillary and xiphoid levels.
Spirometry was
measured using a spirometer Microloop Viasys ® following the rules of the ATS and
ERS. Maximal respiratory pressures were measured with digital manometer MVD300
(Globalmed ®). The maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximal expiratory
pressure (MEP) were measured from residual volume and total lung capacity,
respectively. The data were analyzed using the SPSS 17.0 software assigning the
significance level of 5%. Descriptive analysis was expressed as mean and standard
deviation. T'student test was used to compare unpaired values found in group A with
group B values, as well as with the reference values used. To compare the
respiratory coefficients in the axillary level with the xiphoid in each group, we used
paired testing t student. Results: Group A was significantly decreased thoracic
mobility and MIP compared to group B, and MIP compared to baseline. There was no
significant difference between spirometric data from both groups and the values of
group A with the reference values Mallozi (1995). There was no significant difference
between the MIP and MEP values and lower limits of reference proposed by Borja
(2011). Conclusion: Children with acute leukemia, myeloid or lymphoid, during
maintenance phase of chemotherapy treatment have reduced thoracic mobility and
MIP. However, to date, completion of clinical treatment, the spirometric variables and
the strength of the expiratory muscles appear to remain preserved in children
between five and ten years

▼ Os trabalhadores de oficinas automotivas estÃo inclusos nas populaÃÃes expostas a riscos ocupacionais, jà que um conjunto importante de doenÃas, lesÃes e mortes tem origem no ambiente de trabalho. O uso de hidrocarbonetos aromÃticos como o benzeno, que à utilizado em pintura automotiva, com o uso indevido dos equipamentos de seguranÃa â EPI (equipamento de proteÃÃo individual) podem apresentar riscos à saÃde. Nesse contexto, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a funÃÃo pulmonar dos trabalhadores de oficinas automotivas expostos ao benzeno e seus derivados em processos de pintura na cidade de Teresina â PI. Uma das formas de monitorizaÃÃo e acompanhamento à o exame de espirometria, exame padrÃo ouro para avaliaÃÃo da funcionalidade pulmonar, alÃm da presenÃa de sistemas de ventilaÃÃo e exaustÃo nas oficinas automotivas e contÃnuos treinamentos para correta identificaÃÃo e utilizaÃÃo dos equipamentos de seguranÃa, em programa de monitoramento da qualidade do ambiente de trabalho. Este trabalho foi realizado com um total de 80 sujeitos, tendo um grupo controle com 40 trabalhadores nÃo expostos Ãs substÃncias quÃmicas e um grupo teste com 40 trabalhadores expostos Ãs substÃncias quÃmicas, distribuÃdos em 7 oficinas automotivas. O trabalho mostra que nÃo foram observadas diferenÃas estatisticamente significantes entre os grupos controle e teste nas oficinas automotivas em Teresina- PI. Todos os locais de trabalho possuÃam sistemas de ventilaÃÃo e exaustÃo, mas a maioria dos trabalhadores afirmou nÃo ter conhecimento do correto uso e forma de guardar os EPIÂs. Entretanto foi observada uma correlaÃÃo positiva, pelo teste exato de Fisher, para problemas respiratÃrios em quem trabalhava 5 anos ou mais em oficinas automotivas (p< 0,02), e concomitantemente fumava 10 cigarros por dia a mais de 10 anos (p<0,01). Podemos concluir que hà necessidade da elaboraÃÃo de programa de monitorizaÃÃo do ambiente de trabalho e acompanhamento dos trabalhadores, do ponto de vista da saÃde do trabalhador.

▼ Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a leading cause of death worldwide and requires close monitoring and follow up to prevent exacerbations that lead to hospitalizations (CDC, 2015). COPD is often underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed for asthma and also under-treated because providers are not utilizing the recommended diagnostic tool,
spirometry, for patients who present with chronic respiratory symptoms (Decramer et al., 2015). The purpose of this study is to assess perceived barriers to
spirometry use among primary care providers (PCP) including nurse practitioners (NP) and physician assistants (PA) within Arizona. The aim of this project is to assess for commonalities in barriers and determine practice and educational implications and areas for future research to increase knowledge about the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) Guidelines so that
spirometry is performed more frequently. A survey was administered to PCPs (NPs and PAs) in Arizona through medical professional organizations. Basic demographic data was collected, in addition to questions assessing practice assessment, perceived barriers to
spirometry, and utilization of smoking cessation methods and COPD prevention methods. A total of 47 responses were used for the data analysis. Females accounted for 87% (n=41) of the total sample size, and males accounted for 13% (n=6). There were 89% (n=42) NPs and 11% (n=5) PAs. Only 53% (n=25) stated that they have access to a spirometer and 47% (n=22) stated they did not have access to the tool. The most common barriers to
spirometry use were concerns about testing quality and accuracy (28%, n=13), cost of the tool (23%, n=11), uncertainty about interpretation (21%, n=10), and unfamiliarity (21%, n=10). Other causes include concerns for reimbursement (11%, n=6), not enough time with patient (11%, n=5), preference to send for pulmonary function tests (11%, n=5), and lastly uncertain about impact of results on clinical practice (6%, n=3). In conclusion, the results call for further practice and educational interventions to mitigate these barriers and provide better support to providers who care for those with chronic respiratory symptoms. Further research into this issue can help lead to interventions and increase knowledge about the GOLD guidelines to improve patient outcomes.

▼ Objetivos: avaliar o efeito dos padrões ventilatórios reexpansivos associados ao biofeedback respiratório (BFR) sobre a função pulmonar, força muscular respiratória e hábitos em respiradores bucais funcionais. Métodos: foram avaliadas 60 crianças respiradoras bucais funcionais (RBF), divididas em Grupo Experimental e Controle, sendo o Grupo Experimental submetido a 15 sessões de padrões ventilatórios reexpansivos associados ao BFR por meio do biofeedback pletsmovent (MICROHARD® V1.0), o qual proporciona o biofeedback dos movimentos tóraco-abdominais e o Grupo Controle submetido ao mesmo número de sessões realizando apenas o biofeedback. Espirometria, medidas das pressões respiratórias máximas estáticas e questões para avaliação de hábitos, respondidas pelos responsáveis pelas crianças, foram realizadas antes e após a terapia. Teste t de Student para dados pareados e testes não paramétricos, com nível de significância de 5%, foram utilizados para análise. Resultados: Foram observados alterações significativas na capacidade vital forçada (FVC), índice de Tiffeneau (IT), pressão expiratória máxima (PEmáx), pressão inspiratória máxima (PImáx) e nos hábitos avaliados em RBF com o uso do BFR associado aos padrões reexpansivos. Não foram observadas diferenças significantes quando comparados o Grupo Experimental e o Controle. Conclusão: Os resultados permitem concluir que o BFR associado aos padrões reexpansivos melhora a capacidade vital forçada, IT, força da musculatura respiratória e hábitos em RBF, podendo ser, portanto, utilizado como uma das formas de terapia nesses indivíduos
Objectives: Assess the effect of re-expansive respiratory patterns associated to respiratory biofeedback (RBF) on pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength and habits in individuals with functional mouth breathing (FMB). Methods: Sixty children with FMB were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group was submitted to 15 sessions of re-expansive respiratory patterns associated to RBF (biofeedback pletsmovent; MICROHARD® V1.0), which provided biofeedback of the thoracic and abdominal movements. The control group was submitted to 15 sessions using biofeedback alone. Spirometry, maximum static respiratory pressure measurements and questions regarding habits (answered by parents/guardians) were carried out before and after therapy. The Student\'s t-test for paired data and non-parametric tests were employed for statistical analysis at a 5% level of significance. Results: Significant changes were found in forced vital capacity, Tiffeneau index scores, maximum expiratory pressure, maximum inspiratory pressure and habits assessed in FMB with the use of RBF associated to the re-expansive patterns. No significant differences were found comparing the experimental and control groups. The results allow the conclusion that RBF associated to re-expansive patterns improves forced vital capacity, Tiffeneau index scores, respiratory muscle strength and habits in FMB and can therefore be used as a form of therapy for such…

▼ As deformidades dentofaciais (DDF) compreendem alterações no equilíbrio dentofacial que comprometem a estética e a funcionalidade do sistema estomatognático. O crescimento e desenvolvimento craniofacial são influenciados pela respiração, porém as condições respiratórias nesses indivíduos são pouco abordadas na literatura. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo caracterizar a função respiratória de indivíduos com deformidade dentofacial em relação às vias aéreas superiores e inferiores, bem como aos aspectos da respiração voltados para a fonação, neste mesmo grupo de indivíduos. Para isso foram avaliados 40 indivíduos adultos, divididos em três grupos equilibrados de acordo com gênero e idade: GC (14 indivíduos com equilíbrio dentofacial, Classe I e Padrão I); DDFII (12 indivíduos com DDF, Classe II e Padrão II) e DDFIII (14 indivíduos, Classe III e Padrão III), estando os dois últimos em tratamento ortodôntico preparatório para a cirurgia ortognática. Os pacientes foram submetidos ao exame miofuncional orofacial para avaliação de tipo e modo respiratório, fluxo nasal e possibilidade de uso nasal, utilizando o Protocolo MBGR, bem como à espirometria para avaliação da capacidade respiratória. Foi realizada, ainda, a medida de fluxo aéreo expiratório utilizando espelho milimetrado e calculada a área de embaçamento provocado pelo fluxo. Também foi obtido tempo de fonação de /s/. Na comparação entre os grupos foram utilizados os testes Kruskall-Wallis e teste t; para a comparação entre os aspectos estudados foram aplicados os testes estatísticos Qui Quadrado e ANOVA; para correlações, utilizou-se Pearson e Spearman. Os resultados demonstraram maior ocorrência do tipo respiratório médio superior para os diferentes grupos. No que diz respeito ao modo, mais da metade dos participantes com DDF apresentou respiração oronasal ou oral, sendo que ao realizar a comparação entre os grupos, foi encontrada diferença entre o DDFII e os demais grupos estudados (p<0,001). Quanto ao fluxo expiratório nasal, a maioria dos indivíduos dos grupos DFFII e DDFIII apresentou fluxo reduzido unilateralmente, enquanto para o GC foi simétrico, tendo-se verificado diferença significante entre os grupos com DDF e GC (p=0,011). Quanto à possibilidade de uso nasal, os grupos DFFII e DFFIII apresentaram semelhanças, porém o grupo DFFII apresentou menor tempo de uso nasal em relação aos outros grupos (p<0,001). No escore do Protocolo MBGR, o grupo DFFII apresentou os escores mais altos, ou seja, os piores resultados, ao comparar com os demais grupos (p<0,001). Com relação aos exames objetivos (área do embaçamento do espelho de Altmann, capacidade vital e suporte de ar disponível), a análise estatística não evidenciou diferença significante entre os grupos para todos os aspectos considerados (p>0,05). Por fim, foi encontrada correlação negativa quanto ao tempo fonatório de /s/ e o escore do MBGR correspondente à função respiratória. Concluiu-se que os grupos com DDF apresentam semelhante tipo respiratório, capacidade vital e menor suporte…

▼ Introduction: The leukemias are the most common malignancy in children and
adolescents. With the improvement in outcomes, there is a need to consider the
morbidity to generate the protocols used in children under treatment. Aim: To
evaluate pulmonary function in children with acute leukemia. Method: This study is
an observational cross sectional. We evaluated 34 children distributed in groups A
and B. Group A comprised 17 children with acute leukemia in the maintenance phase
of chemotherapy treatment and group B with 17 healthy students from the public in
the city of Natal / RN, matched for gender, age and height. The thoracic mobility was
evaluated by thoracic expansion in the axillary and xiphoid levels.
Spirometry was
measured using a spirometer Microloop Viasys ® following the rules of the ATS and
ERS. Maximal respiratory pressures were measured with digital manometer MVD300
(Globalmed ®). The maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximal expiratory
pressure (MEP) were measured from residual volume and total lung capacity,
respectively. The data were analyzed using the SPSS 17.0 software assigning the
significance level of 5%. Descriptive analysis was expressed as mean and standard
deviation. T'student test was used to compare unpaired values found in group A with
group B values, as well as with the reference values used. To compare the
respiratory coefficients in the axillary level with the xiphoid in each group, we used
paired testing t student. Results: Group A was significantly decreased thoracic
mobility and MIP compared to group B, and MIP compared to baseline. There was no
significant difference between spirometric data from both groups and the values of
group A with the reference values Mallozi (1995). There was no significant difference
between the MIP and MEP values and lower limits of reference proposed by Borja
(2011). Conclusion: Children with acute leukemia, myeloid or lymphoid, during
maintenance phase of chemotherapy treatment have reduced thoracic mobility and
MIP. However, to date, completion of clinical treatment, the spirometric variables and
the strength of the expiratory muscles appear to remain preserved in children
between five and ten years

▼ Abstract: Introduction: Recent studies have indicated that
spirometry is not a sensitive tool to evaluate lung disease in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is considered the gold standard to evaluate structural lung disease. Volumetric capnography (VCap) is a promising clinical tool used to evaluate ventilation homogeneity. In our knowledge, there is no study comparing those tools. Therefore, our study aimed to evaluate and to compare the
spirometry test, with VCap, and HRCT punctuated by modified Bhalla score in children and adolescents with CF. Methods: It were conducted a cross-sectional and a longitudinal study of CF patients from both genders out of acute pulmonary exacerbation. They performed VCap and
spirometry in a single test occasion. HRCT was obtained in routine evaluation and images were punctuated by 2 observers with modified Bhalla score. VCap and
spirometry results were correlated with HRCT scores. Patients¿ groups with normal and abnormal
spirometry were compared. Besides, the progression of lung disease was assessed and compared between those three exams. Results: The thesis is presented in three papers format. In chapter 1, we presented a review of VCap. In chapter 2, we presented the cross-sectional study with 41 CF patients with mean age of 13.8 years. HRCT score mean was 20.64 (6.5-33.5) and 14 patients (34.1%) had normal
spirometry values. Capnographic index (KPIv) was correlated with the HRCT score (r=0.52; p=0.001), FEV1% (r=-0.70; p<0.001), and FEF25-75% (r=-0.65; p<0.001). Although, FEF25-75% showed stronger correlation with the HRCT score (r= -0.65; p<0.001). KPIv and slope III (SIII) from VCap were higher in patients with abnormal than normal
spirometry (p=0.01 and p=0.04 respectively). In chapter 3, we presented the longitudinal study of 23 patients testes with all tests proposed.
Spirometry, HRCT score, and VCap demonstrated deterioration of lung disease during the period studied. The annual variation rate of HRCT score (+7.38%) was higher than KPIv (+0.32%), FEF25-75% (-5.71%), and FEV1% (4.39%). Patients with mild lung function had higher decline of FEV1% and less improvement in HRCT score when compared to patients with moderated and severe lung disease (p=0.02). Conclusions: VCap is a useful tool in monitoring lung disease in children and adolescents with CF. KPIv from VCap correlates with HRCT score and
spirometry. Still, the HRCT score correlates better with
spirometry than with VCap. Further studies are needed to assess the ability of SIII and KPIv to discriminate between patients with normal and abnormal
spirometry.
Spirometry, VCap and HRCT were able to detect deterioration in lung disease. Although, the annual variation rate of HRCT score were higher than functional decline evaluated by
spirometry and ventilation inhomogeneity assessed by VCap.
Spirometry had higher annual rate decline in patients with mild lung function, while HRCT score had higher improvement in moderate/severe patients. Our results reinforce the complementary role of…

▼ Abstract: Obesity in children and adolescents creates multisystemic impacts, and the respiratory system is one of the most impaired systems. The literature on lung function in obese children and adolescents has been controversial, as it includes two very complex processes: obesity and body growth. Variables, such as body composition, pubertal development and lifestyle habits, are fundamental for understanding the mechanisms that correlate the effects of obesity on the lung function of growing individuals. Objectives: To assess and compare lung function in children and adolescents of both sexes, according to the stages of pubertal development, physical activity level and body composition. Methods: A systematic review of the literature (Article No. 01) and two cross-sectional and analytical studies evaluating children and adolescents of both sexes between 4-20 years of age were conducted. Article No. 02 analyzed the agreement and correlation between whole-body and half-body DXA scans. In Article No. 03, the aim of the study was to compare pulmonary function in children and adolescents with and with no obesity, considering body composition, pubertal development and lifestyle. The participants were submitted to
spirometry; assessment of body composition by DXA, vital signs, pubertal development, physical activity using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ); and Dysanapsis Index (DI) analysis. Results: In Article No. 01, 33 articles were included.
Spirometry was the most widely used tool for assessing lung function. There was high variability in lung function values, with a tendency toward reduced levels of some lung function markers (FEV1/FVC, FRC, ERV and RV) in obese children and adolescents. In Article No. 02, high correlation and agreement between whole-body and half-body DXA scans in obese and non-obese individuals could be observed. Ultimately, in Article No. 03, there was a positive correlation of FVC and a negative correlation of FEV1/FVC with markers of fat mass; while inspiratory capacity, ERV, FEF25%, FEF50% and PEF correlated with markers of lean mass. There was no difference between DIs between the groups with obese and non-obese individuals. Conclusion: The effects of growth and development on the function of all systems are fundamental for understanding the lung function outcomes in obese children and adolescents. The great diversity of these findings in the literature may be justified by the lack of consideration of these factors. In the assessment of body composition using DXA, the agreement between whole-body and half-body DXA scans indicated the possibility of broadening the use of this instrument, which was able to ensure good applicability and reproducibility, even among individuals whose body dimensions exceed the limits of the scan area. The assessment of lung function showed increased FVC and reduced FEV1/FVC in obese individuals. These findings are related to fat mass increase, with no relation to lean mass. Our hypothesis is that these findings are related to the pattern of…

▼ Introdução: Limitação ao fluxo e hiperinsuflação dinâmica são fteqüentemente observadas em pacientes com DPOC. A capacidade inspiratória (CI) tem sido sugerida como um método simples para verificar as alterações no volume pulmonar expiratório final e hiperinsuflação pulmonar. Entretanto, poucos estudos verificaram se a aplicação de pressão positiva contínua nas vias aéreas (CP AP) poderia diminuir a hiperinsuflação pulmonar. Objetivo: Verificar os efeitos imediatos da CP AP no volume pulmonar expiratório final em pacientes com DPOC estável. Método: Trata-se de um estudo prospectivo, com 21 pacientes, idade 63 :I: 9 anos, com volume expirado forçado no primeiro segundo de 40,7 :I: 11,7%, que foram submetidos a um teste gradual de CP AP (4, 7 e 11 cmH20 - Drãger SA VINA ventilator). A CI foi mensurada pela espirometria, antes e depois de cada valor de CPAP. Nos pacientes nos quais os três valores de CPAP resultaram em redução da CI, uma pressão de 2 cmH20 também foi aplicada. Para cada paciente, um valor de CP AP "ótimo" foi definido como o valor correspondente a melhor CI obtida com o teste gradual da CP AP. Este valor "ótimo" de CP AP foi, então, aplicado por 10 min e uma espirometria foi posteriormente realizada. Resultados: Durante o teste gradual da CPAP, seis pacientes (grupo não respondedor) não apresentaram qualquer melhora na CI. Quando o valor de CP AP "ótimo" foi então aplicado nesses indivíduos, foi observado piora significativa da CI de 83,7:1: 19,4% para 74:1: 22,8% (p = 0,0341). Em 15 pacientes (grupo respondedor), a CI aumentou significativamente de 68,6 :I: 17,9% para 75,3 :I: 18,0% (p = 0,0002). A capacidade vital lenta foi o único parâmetro espirométrico que também aumentou após a CPAP "ótima" no grupo respondedor (240 rnL, 7,4% do valor predito, p <0,01). Nenhuma diferença significativa foi observada após a CP AP "ótima" nos pacientes com limitação ao fluxo expiratório (CI pré-CPAP :S 80% do valor predito) versus pacientes não limitados ao fluxo expiratório (CI pré-CPAP >80% do valor predito). Entretanto, os pacientes com enfisema pulmonar e CI:S 80%,do valor predito demonstraram um aumento significativo na CI após a CPAP "ótima" (220 rnL, 8,9% do valor predito, p <0,01). Conclusão: A CPAP pode aumentar a capacidade inspiratória em pacientes selecionados, sugerindo redução no volume pulmonar expiratório final, conseqüente da diminuição na hiperinsuflação pulmonar
Bachground: Flow limitation and dynamic hyperinflation are common findings in COPD patients. Inspiratory capacity (IC) has been proposed as a simple method to assess changes in end-expiratory lung volume (EEL V) and lung hyperinflation. However, few studies verified if the application of continuous positive airway pressure (CP AP) could decrease lung hyperinflation. Objective: To assess the immediate effect of the CP AP in EEL V in stable COPD patients. Method: Prospective study of 21 stable COPD patients, age 63 :!: 9 years, with forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV1) of 40.7 :I: 11.7%, who were submitted to the gradual test of…

▼ Silicose, doença respiratória associada à exposição ocupacional ao cristalino, sílica, representa um sério problema de saúde pública, uma vez que, apesar de ser potencialmente evitável, apresenta altos índices de incidência e prevalência, especialmente nos países menos desenvolvidos. Objetivos: mensurar valores de Capacidade Vital Forçada (CVF), Volume Expiratório Forçado no 1 segundo (VEF) e Pico Fluxo Expiratório (PEF); verificar a presença de sintomas respiratórios, característicos de Silicose; testar se há diferença significativa entre os valores espirométricos e presença de sintomas respiratórios, tempo de serviço, idade dos trabalhadores e fator tabagismo; testar se há correlação entre os índices espirométricos e tempo de serviço, idade e hábito tabagista. Metodologia: o estudo foi do tipo descritivo - analítico, transversal. A população estudada foi composta por trabalhadores de seis empresas do ramo de beneficiamento de pedras (pedreiras/marmorarias), uma no município de Goiânia-GO e as outras cinco no município de Pirenópolis-GO, totalizando 56 trabalhadores. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados foram dois questionários e um equipamento de espitometria portátil. Resultados: em relação ao uso de Equipamento de Proteção Coletiva (EPC), 100% dos funcionários respondeu que existia proteção coletiva; 73% referente à ventilação do galpão aberto e 27% com galpão semi-aberto. Em relação à ventilação exaustora, 100% dos funcionários afirmou que não existia esse tipo de ventilação. Referente ao uso de Equipamento de Proteção individual (EPI), tratando-se especificamente de proteção respiratória, a máscara com filtro era utilizado por 20 funcionários e a máscara sem filtro (tecido) por 36 funcionários. Pode-se afirmar que 100% dos trabalhadores usavam máscaras de proteção individual, abrangendo qualquer tipo de máscara, inclusive não apropriadas. O resultado das médias dos três índices espirométricos apresentou uma diferença altamente significativa quando comparado às médias normais de referência (p <0,0001). Dos 56 homens pesquisados, 40 homens apresentam-se sintomáticos (71%). Não houve diferença estatística significativa entre valores espirométricos e tempo de exposição (mais ou menos de 5 anos), sintomáticos e assintomáticos e tabagistas e não tabagistas. Houve diferença estatística significativa entre valores espirométricos e idade (mais ou menos de 45 anos). No teste de correlação verificou-se que não houve diferença estatística significativa entre os índices espirométricos e tempo de exposição, número de cigarros fumados e tempo de hábito tabágico. Houve correlação negativa entre os valores espirometricos e idade. Conclusão: verificou-se que os funcionários apresentam um alto percentual de fator sintomático; para os valores espirométricos houve alteração significativa para os três índices pesquisados comparados com a literatura de referência.

▼ OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to determine if there are any acoustic variables that can determine compromised lung function in patients with asthma and COPD. METHODS: This study involved using mobile and wearable technology to record voice and respiratory changes during various speaking and breathing tasks before and after administration of albuterol. Collaborators at Samsung Research America, Inc. used algorithms to measure pause time, pause frequency, respiratory rate, and inhale:exhale ratio. These variables were correlated with
spirometry values before and after albuterol to assess clinical significance. RESULTS: We identified several acoustic markers that significantly correlate with lung function in patients with asthma and COPD. In particular, we found that the ratio of the one-second forced expiratory volume to forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) after administration of albuterol significantly correlated with the inhale:exhale ratio in asthma patients during the tidal breathing task. The post-albuterol FEV1/FVC significantly correlated with the inhale:exhale ratio in COPD patients during the supine breathing task. The pre-albuterol FVC significantly correlated with the pause frequency in asthma patients during the scripted speech task. CONCLUSION: The results in this study indicate that pause frequency and inhale:exhale ratio may be important biomarkers for identifying a respiratory illness, such as asthma and COPD. More research needs to be done using digital health to monitor disease symptoms with a larger sample size.

▼ Spirometry is used to diagnose respiratory disease, to monitor disease progression and response to treatment, and in epidemiological surveys. As a large burden of disease is caused by cigarette smoking,
spirometry has been incorporated in smoking cessation counselling in an attempt to improve quit rates. The concept of lung age (LA) was developed in 1985 in an effort to make
spirometry results more easily understood by the lay person. Research results using LA to aid quitting remain inconclusive. This thesis investigates the need to update LA equations, as predictive equations based on old data may not be relevant for today’s populations, and contemporary equations may result in a stronger message for smokers. New LA equations were firstly developed using contemporary Australian data and four further LA equations were derived from previously published FEV₁ predictive equations. A series of comparisons of LA equations in contemporary Australian datasets followed. The first project compared the original Morris LA equations with newly developed Australian LA equations in an independent workplace dataset (males only). The second project compared four extra LA equations derived from previously published FEV₁ equations from Europe, the United Kingdom, America and Australia with the Morris and the new Australian equations. An independent dataset of randomly-selected males and females was used to compare these equations with the Morris LA equations and contemporary Australian LA equations. Lastly, a different type of LA equation expressed as delta lung age (ΔLA), the difference between chronological age and lung age, based on the ratio of Forced Expiratory Volume in one second/Forced Vital Capacity (FEV₁/FVC), was compared with three other LA equations based on FEV₁ alone. This project used three independent datasets (urban, rural and a workplace) for added strength. All LA equations confirmed poorer lung function in smokers than in never smokers in all 3 independent datasets. LA estimates were approximately 20 years lower using the original Morris equations when compared with the newest LA equations. The differences seen between estimated LA using all six equations were consistent in each analysis. The ΔLA equation gave extreme LA estimates in both the community-based datasets compared with the LA equations based on FEV₁ alone. These results show that the Morris LA equations need to be updated. However, there appears to be no advantage in using the ΔLA equation. The differences between the older and the newer LA equations are most likely a result of cohort and period effects. This is also the case in the predictive equations themselves. Continuously updating predictive equations using recently acquired data will result in LA equations that are more relevant to contemporary populations.

▼ Spirometry is a type of pulmonary function test that
measures the amount of air volume and the speed of air flow from a
patient's breath in order to assess lung function. The goal of this
project is to develop and validate a mobile spirometer technology
based on a differential pressure sensor. The findings in this paper
are used in a larger project that combines the features of a
capnography device and a spirometer into a single mobile health
unit known as the capno-spirometer. The following paper discusses
the methods, experiments, and prototypes that were developed and
tested in order to create a robust and accurate technology for all
of the spirometry functions within the capno-spirometer. The
differential pressure sensor is set up with one inlet measuring the
pressure inside the spirometer tubing and the other inlet measuring
the ambient pressure of the environment. The inlet measuring the
inside of the tubing is very sensitive to its orientation and
position with respect to the path of the air flow. It is found that
taking a measurement from the center of the flow is 50% better than
from the side wall. The sensor inlet is optimized at 37 mm from the
mouthpiece inlet. The unit is calibrated by relating the maximum
pressure sensor voltage signal to the peak expiratory flow rate
(PEF) taken during a series of spirometry tests. In conclusion,
this relationship is best represented as a quadratic function and a
calibration equation is computed to provide a flow rate given a
voltage change. The flow rates are used to calculate the four main
spirometry parameters: PEF, FVC, FEV1, and FER. These methods are
then referenced with the results from a commercial spirometer for
validation. After validation, the pressure-based spirometry
technology is proven to be both robust and accurate.

▼ The goal of this dissertation research was to develop, implement, and test an automated decision system to provide early detection of actual acute bronchopulmonary events in a population of lung transplant recipients following a home monitoring protocol. Decision rules were developed using wavelet analysis of spirometry and symptom signal data collected daily at home by the lung transplant recipients, and transmitted weekly to our study data center. Rules were developed based on a learning set of patient home data, and validated with an independent set of patients. Using either FEV1 or symptom-based home data monitoring, the detection algorithm can capture the majority of events (sensitivity > 80%) at an acceptable level of false alarms. Detection occurs 6.6 to 10.8 days earlier than the corresponding events recorded in the patient's clinical records. Combining rules using the Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence incrementally improves performance over a single variable. This framework can be readily implemented as an automatic event detection tool to aid medical discovery and diagnosis of acute pulmonary events.

▼ Introduction and objectives: This research effort investigated three study areas. Firstly, the impact of ATS/ERS “acceptability” and “repeatability” criteria for spirometry on the estimates of restrictive ventilatory defect was assessed in a population of taconite miners. The estimates of restrictive ventilatory defect were made using three different pulmonary function tests (spirometry, alveolar volume and diffusing capacity). Secondly, the association between cumulative silica exposures in taconite mining and non-malignant respiratory disease (NMRD) outcomes was evaluated. Cumulative silica exposure was determined using current and historical exposure measurements while health outcomes were assessed from a cross-sectional screening study of taconite mine workers. The final study area explored the joint effects of silica dust, elongate mineral particles (EMP) and non-silica respirable dust on exposure-NMRD association in miners, also using health outcomes from cross-sectional screening. Methods: A survey of current and former taconite workers was undertaken in 2010-2011. Miners were screened with a questionnaire that focused on occupational and medical history, followed by clinic examinations including lung tests (spirometry, chest x-rays). Current and former workers who completed the survey and performed all three pulmonary function tests (spirometry, alveolar volume and diffusing capacity) were assessed (n=1084). We applied American Thoracic Society (ATS/ERS) acceptability criteria for all tests and categorized subjects into groups according to whether they fully met, partially met, or did not meet acceptability criteria for spirometry. Obstruction and restriction were defined utilizing the lower limit of normal (lower five percent) for all tests. Mixed ventilatory defect groups were also described indicating coexisting obstructive and restrictive ventilatory defects. When using alveolar volume, restriction was identified after excluding obstruction. Occupational exposure assessment was performed which measured over 1,500 onsite samples for respirable dusts including silica in 28 major job functions in taconite mining. Historical exposures to dusts were estimated with data obtained from prior onsite exposure measures by existing mining operations, and from Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) data for those same operations. Individual work histories from completed questionnaires were used to determine the length of time worked (years) in these jobs. Cumulative silica exposure ((mg/m3)-years) was estimated as a product of time worked and year-specific silica dust measures for each of 28 unique job functions. Forced vital capacity (FVC) less than lower limits of normal (LLN) for age, height, race and gender was used to determine spirometric restriction in participants with “usable” spirometry. Chest x-rays were evaluated using ILO criteria for any evidence of parenchymal abnormalities of 1/0 or greater and for pleural abnormalities suggestive of pneumoconiosis by two blinded B-readers, with a third reader…

▼ Exposure to traffic-related air pollutants such as
nitrogen dioxide (NO
2), particulate matter
with aerodynamic diameter < 2.5 μm
(PM
2.5) and black carbon (BC) are associated
with adverse health effects such as reduced lung function.
Ground-level ozone (O
3) is also associated
with reduced lung function, and is formed through photochemical
reactions that involve traffic-related air pollutants.
Consequently, ambient levels of traffic-related air pollutants and
O
3 are regulated, and are monitored with
reference instruments at monitoring stations. Due to spatial
variation of pollutants, concentrations of pollutants in locations
far away from monitoring stations, may be uncorrelated with
measurements made at monitoring stations. To obtain convenient
access to concentrations of pollutants, the analytical industry has
produced gas sensors and advertise them as alternatives to
reference instruments. However, cofactors of sensor performance
such as relative humidity (RH) potentially influence the response
of sensors to their target analyte. The first aim of this
dissertation was to assess the accuracy of gas sensors for the
measurement of ambient O
3 and
NO
2. To achieve the first aim, three
commercially available units (Cairclip
O
3/NO
2, Aeroqual
NO
2, and Aeroqual O
3
sensors) were co-located with reference instruments at a monitoring
station. The accuracy of measurements from the sensors as compared
to measurements made by the reference instruments were calculated.
The results showed that none of the sensor measurements were
accurate (mean error ≠ ± 25%). After modelling the impacts of
cofactors of sensor performance, only the accuracy of the Cairclip
O
3/NO
2 and the
Aeroqual O
3 sensors considerably improved
(mean error = -1% and 14%, respectively). The second aim of this
dissertation was to develop a model to predict indoor
concentrations of BC. To achieve this aim, home characteristics of
23 homes and occupant activities that potentially modify indoor
levels of BC were documented, and indoor and outdoor BC
concentrations were repeatedly measured at each home. With the use
of a linear mixed model and a leave-one-out cross validation
algorithm, the results showed that information on outdoor BC,
burning/not burning candles, air filtration, open/closed windows
and the presence/absence of kitchen exhaust hoods can explain up to
77% of the variation in indoor BC. The third Specific Aim of this
dissertation was to investigate whether indoor particulate matter
(PM), including PM
2.5 and BC, in contrast to
outdoor PM, is a better predictor of lung function. To explore the
association between indoor and outdoor PM concentrations and lung
function, PM measurements were made indoors and outdoors at the
residencies of forty-four asthmatic children, and lung function
assessments with a
spirometry were performed. There was an observed
association between lung function measurements…

▼ Rationale: Asthma is the most common chronic disorder
of childhood and continues to be a common cause of hospital
admission. The National Asthma Education and Prevention Program
Expert Panel (NAEPP) recommends
spirometry to be obtained on
admission, after bronchodilator during the acute phase, and at
least another before discharge from the hospital. The objectives of
this study were to describe the use of
spirometry in children
hospitalized with asthma and determine the association of pulmonary
function near discharge with future exacerbations. Methods: This
was a retrospective cohort study involving reviewing medical
records and spirometries of children = 5 years old who were
admitted with asthma to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical
Center from September 1 2009 to March 31 2011. Asthma
re-exacerbation was defined as either having an emergency
department (ED) visit or hospitalization for asthma that occurred
within 3 months of the index hospitalization. Asthma
hospitalization or ED visits were identified by the ICD-9-CM codes
of having either a primary diagnosis of asthma (493), or
respiratory illnesses (460-496) plus a secondary diagnosis of
asthma. All spirometries were performed in a pediatric pulmonary
function laboratory. Results: Among 1037 admissions (908 unique
patients) included in the study, 89 (8.6%) had
spirometry prior to
discharge (0.3±0.6 days before discharge). Fifty (56.2%) of those
spirometries met American Thoracic Society’s (ATS) criteria for
acceptability and repeatability. Those with acceptable
spirometry
were significantly older than those whose
spirometry did not meet
ATS criteria (13±4 years vs 11±3, p=0.017). Of these 50 children,
10 (20%) developed an asthma exacerbation within three months
following discharge (mean, 32±21 days). Children with
re-exacerbation had significantly lower forced expiratory volume in
the first second to forced vital capacity ratio (FEV1/FVC) and
forced expiratory flow at 25-75% (FEF25-75) with a mean of
68.5±9.0% predicted vs 76.0±9.5% predicted (p=0.038) and 45.6±28.1%
vs 65.2±30.2% predicted (p=0.039), respectively. Children who were
older (OR=1.4; 95%CI 1.1-1.9) and those with shorter hospital stay
(OR=2.8; 95%CI 1.1-7.4) were significantly more likely to have a
re-exacerbation. Conclusion: This study showed that few children
admitted with asthma had
spirometry as recommended in the NAEPP
guidelines. Over half of the children over the age of five years
were able to perform acceptable
spirometry near discharge. Lower
lung function especially FEV1/FVC and FEF25-75 near discharge was
associated with developing an asthma exacerbation within 3 months
following the index admission. Prospective study is needed to
confirm these findings.

Introdução: A doença pulmonar obstrutiva crónica (DPOC) apresenta uma elevada prevalência a nível mundial e acarreta elevados custos económicos e sociais. Em Portugal a situação de sub diagnóstico de DPOC realça a importância de aumentar a acessibilidade à espirometria nos cuidados de saúde primários.
Objetivos: Caracterizar uma rede de espirometria implementada a nível dos cuidados de saúde primários, relativamente à capacidade de diagnóstico de DPOC e custos associados.
Métodos: A amostra foi constituída pelos utentes dos centros de saúde afetos à rede e com critérios de seleção baseados em fatores de risco de DPOC. Os custos da rede basearam-se no somatório dos custos com recursos humanos, equipamentos, consumíveis e transportes.
Resultados: No período em análise foram realizadas 1404 espirometrias, com uma prevalência de diagnóstico de DPOC de 29,8%, encontrando-se 94% em estadios ligeiros/moderados de doença. O número necessário de rastreios para obter um diagnóstico de DPOC foi de 3,36 espirometrias. O custo médio de uma espirometria foi de 6,85€ e o custo para se obter um diagnóstico de DPOC foi de 23,02€.
Conclusões: A capacidade para diagnosticar DPOC na rede de espirometria estudada foi elevada, sendo particularmente eficaz na deteção de estadios ligeiros/moderados de doença. A implementação nacional de programas de espirometria idênticos poderá contribuir para a solução do sub diagnóstico de DPOC.
Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has a high prevalence worldwide and entails significant economic and social costs. In Portugal the situation of under diagnosis of COPD highlights the importance of increasing the accessibility of spirometry in primary care .
Objectives: To characterize a network of spirometry implemented at the primary health care setting, concerning its ability for the diagnosis of COPD and associated costs.
Methods: The sample was composed by users of health centers related to the network. Selection criteria for spirometry were based on risk factors of COPD. Network costs were based on the sum of the cost of human resources, equipment, supplies and transports.
Results: Spirometry was performed in 1404 patients, with a 29.8% prevalence of COPD. 94 % patients had mild/moderate disease. The required number of spirometries to obtain a diagnosis of COPD was 3.36. The average cost of a spirometry was €6.85 and the cost to obtain a diagnosis of COPD was € 23.02.
Conclusions: The ability to diagnose COPD in network spirometry was high, being particularly effective in detecting mild/moderate stages of disease. The implementation of national spirometric programs with similar features can contribute to the solution of the COPD under diagnosis.

▼ Justificativa do estudo: Existem evidências crescentes de redução de fluxos expiratórios em crianças nascidas pré-termo sem doenças respiratórias neonatais. O seguimento destes pacientes sugere que haja um catch-up de função pulmonar durante os primeiros anos de vida. Objetivos: Medir a função pulmonar de lactentes pré-termo sadios (sem patologias respiratórias neonatais) durante os primeiros dois anos de vida e analisar o efeito de dados perinatais no crescimento pulmonar destes pacientes. Delineamento: Estudo de coorte prospectivo com controles históricos. Pacientes e métodos: Foram recrutados neonatos pré-termo menores de 34 semanas de idade gestacional que não necessitaram de ventilação mecânica ou oxigenoterapia prolongada no período neonatal. O grupo controle consistiu de lactentes normais a termo menores de três anos. Duas medidas longitudinais de função pulmonar foram realizadas após 40 semanas e após os 12 meses de idade corrigida., através da técnica de Compressão Torácica Rápida Os principais testes estatísticos utilizados na análise dos dados foram a análise de covariância e a regressão linear. Resultados: Os lactentes pré-termo apresentaram redução nos fluxos expiratórios forçados, com volumes pulmonares normais, em ambos os testes. A melhora da função pulmonar entre os testes foi semelhante entre os dois grupos. O uso breve de oxigênio no período neonatal foi associado a uma melhora nos fluxos e a exposição ao tabagismo antes do nascimento, a fluxos mais reduzidos. Conclusões: Fluxos expiratórios persistentemente reduzidos na presença de capacidades vitais normais e a ausência de catch-up no crescimento pulmonar dos pacientes pré-termo sugerem que o nascimento pré-termo per se está relacionado a um desenvolvimento pulmonar alterado.
Rationale: There is growing evidence of reduced expiratory flows in preterm infants without respiratory troubles at birth. Longitudinal follow-up of these children suggests there is a catch-up of lung function in the first years of life. Objectives: To measure lung function in healthy preterm infants (without neonatal respiratory disease) in the first two years of life, and analyze the effect of perinatal variables in lung growth of these group. Study: Prospective cohort study with historic controls. Patients and methods: Preterm infants less than 34 gestational weeks and with no need for mechanical ventilation or prolonged oxygen support after birth were recruited. Controls consisted of less than three year-old healthy term infants. Longitudinal lung function measures were carried out after 40 weeks and 12 months of corrected gestational age, through the Rapid Thoracic Compression Technique. The main statistical tests used were covariance analysis and linear regression. Results: Preterm infants showed reduced expiratory flows and normal lung volumes in both tests. The improvement of lung function between the two tests were similar in both groups. Brief oxygen use in the neonatal period was associated with better flows, and antenatal smoking exposure was associated to…
