ABSTRACT
Objective:
Some of the most common causes of chronic cough include cough variant asthma (CVA), bronchial asthma (BA), and asthma-COPD overlap (ACO). Although there is some overlap in the etiology of these diseases, it is clinically important to attempt an early differential diagnosis due to treatment strategies and prognoses.Methods:
Spirometry and impulse oscillometry (IOS) before and after bronchodilator inhalation were analyzed for clinically diagnosed CVA (cCVA, n = 203), BA (cBA, n = 222), and ACO (cACO, n = 61).Results:
A significant difference in ΔFEV1 was observed between cBA and cCVA (ΔFEV1 improvement of 122.5 mL/5.4% and 65.7 mL/2.2%, respectively), but no difference was observed in ΔPEF, ΔV50, or ΔV25. Except for R20 (resistance at 20 Hz), significant differences between the three groups were observed in IOS. In IOS, cCVA and cBA showed comparable peripheral airway response to bronchodilator which was thought to be commensurate with changes in V50 and V25. cACO improved ΔFEV1 improvement of 81.0 mL/6.2% and was distinguished by a downward respiratory system reactance (Xrs) waveform with a limited bronchodilator response. FEV1/FVC, %FEV1, and %V25 had relatively strong correlations with the three IOS parameters, X5 (reactance at 5 Hz), resonant frequency (Fres), and low-frequency reactance area (ALX), in the correlation between IOS and spirometers.Conclusion:
Changes in IOS parameters were more sensitive in this study than changes in FEV1 or the flow-volume curve. Considering the benefits and relevance of the two different tests, simultaneous IOS and spirometry testing were useful in the diagnosis of asthmatic cough.Palabras clave
