在肺功能检测设备缺乏的资源匮乏国家中,ACT和ATAQ可以作为哮喘控制的替代检测手段

摘要
目的:本试验研究单纯采用哮喘控制问卷调查评价哮喘控制的可行性。
方法:采用哮喘控制测试(ACT)、哮喘治疗评价问卷调查(ATAQ)和迷你哮喘生活质量问卷调查(迷你AQLQ)对哮喘患者进行评价。同时,检测支气管扩张剂使用前的第一秒用力呼出气体积(FEV1)。分别评价ACT和ATAQ测试评分与FEV1及AQLQ评分的相关性。
结果:共有106名患者(平均年龄:41±15.3岁;61名女性[57.5%])参与此项研究。平均ACT评分为17±5.3,平均ATAQ评分为1.46±1.34。ACT评分与FEV1%预测值呈显著正相关,表明FEV1%预测值增加时哮喘控制改善(Pearson’s相关=0.518, R2=0.268, P<0.000);ATAQ评分与FEV1%预测值呈负相关,同样表明FEV1%预测值增加时哮喘控制改善(Pearson’s相关=-0.516, R2=0.266, P<0.0001)。ACT评分与迷你AQLQ评分呈明显正相关,表明随着ACT评分的增加,生活质量也相应改善(Pearson’s相关=0.691, R2=0.461, P<0.0001)。ATAQ评分与迷你AQLQ评分呈明显负相关,表明随着ATAQ评分下降,生活质量相应改善(Pearson’s相关=-0.654, R2=0.428, P≤0.0001)。FEV1%预测值和迷你AQLQ评分是ACT评分和ATAQ评分重要的决定因素。
结论:由于ACT和ATAQ评分与FEV1和哮喘特异性健康相关生活质量明显相关,因此两者可以作为客观、可靠的工具,评价哮喘控制。在不能进行肺功能检测的情况下,常规采用问卷调查可以鉴别更多哮喘控制较差的患者。

Abstract
OBJECTIVE:The objective of this study is to determine the utility of simple asthma control questionnaires in assessing the asthma control in our practice setting.
METHODS:The Asthma Control Test (ACT), Asthma Therapy Assessment Questionnaire (ATAQ), and mini Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (mini AQLQ) were administered to previously diagnosed asthma patients. Spirometry was performed to obtain the prebronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1). The relationship between test scores (ACT and ATAQ) and the FEV1 and mini AQLQ scores, respectively, was explored.
RESULTS:A total of 106 patients (mean age 41 ± 15.3 years, 61 (57.5%) females) participated in the study. The mean ACT score was 17 ± 5.3 and the mean ATAQ score was 1.46 ± 1.34. There was a significant positive correlation between the ACT score and FEV1% predicted indicating the improvement in asthma control when FEV1% predicted increases (Pearson’s correlation = 0.518, R(2) = 0.268, p < .0001) and a negative correlation between the ATAQ score and FEV1% predicted also indicating the improvement in asthma control when FEV1% predicted increases (Pearson’s correlation = -0.516, R(2) = 0.266, p < .0001). The ACT score was significantly and positively related to the mini AQLQ score signifying an improvement in quality of life with increasing ACT score (Pearson’s correlation = 0.691, R(2) = 0.461, p < .0001).The ATAQ score was significantly and negatively related to the mini AQLQ score indicating an improvement in quality of life with decreasing ATAQ score (Pearson’s correlation = -0.654, R(2) = 0.428, p ≤ .0001). The FEV1% predicted and the mini AQLQ score were the only significant determinants of both the ACT score and the ATAQ score.
CONCLUSION:The ACT and ATAQ are the objective and reliable tools in determining asthma control due to their strong correlation with the FEV1 and the asthma-specific health-related quality of life. Use of either questionnaire routinely will identify more patients with poor asthma control even when spirometry services are not readily available.
