ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Lung function in early-period school-aged children with asthma influences remission in adolescence. However, there are no reports of this in Japan.OBJECTIVE:
This study investigated the influence of lung function in early-period school-aged asthmatic children on medication during adolescence. SUBJECTS ANDMETHODS:
Forty-nine subjects who had visited our hospital at age 6 years or younger were evaluated on March 31, 2018, at the ages of 16 to 18, to determine their asthma treatment step (step 1 to 4). The patients were divided into four groups, and lung function at six years old.RESULTS:
The groups for steps 1, 2, 3 and 4 had 11, 13, 6, and 8 participants, respectively. FEV1.0% at six years old for step 1, 2, 3 and 4 had 88.4%, 89.1%, 86.9%, 80.9%, and %V50 had 111.5%, 107.9%, 108.2% and 69.9%, respectively. There were significant differences between the groups of step 4 and 1, 2 regarding FEV1.0% and %V50.CONCLUSION:
As for the patient of treatment step 4 of adolescence, lung function decreased at 6 years old in comparison with step 1, 2 patients. Lung function in early-period school-aged asthmatic children may predict the treatment level at adolescence.Key words
