重新审视哮喘转归
2012/12/31
摘要
目的:哮喘转归是哮喘临床研究的基础。尽管哮喘转归非常重要,由于疾病存在异质性,研究者很难对这些转归进行标准化。本文对近期有关临床试验中哮喘转归标准化的推荐措施进行总结,讨论未来研究的方向。
近期发现:哮喘临床试验中,已经推荐数个哮喘转归指标,用于评价不同的干预疗效。这些转归包括肺功能、哮喘控制有关参数、症状、哮喘发作、生活质量、生物标记物、健康资源使用和医疗费用。近期,在美国国立卫生研究所(NIH)和卫生保健研究和质量管理局(AHRQ)的支持下,哮喘转归工作组推荐了未来哮喘临床试验中感兴趣的核心检测指标、补充指标和未来研究领域。
总结:对哮喘转归的标准化,有助于比较不同研究和不同中心的结果。哮喘转归工作组的推荐是哮喘转归评价的第一步。哮喘研究中可采用这些推荐参数,并对其进行扩展。

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Asthma outcomes constitute the cornerstone of asthma clinical research. Despite their known importance, it has been difficult for researchers to standardize these outcomes in large part because of the heterogeneity of the disease. This review seeks to provide an overview of recent recommendations for standardization of asthma outcomes in clinical trials, as well as discuss areas of future interest.
RECENT FINDINGS: Several outcome measures have been recommended and are used in evaluating different interventions in asthma clinical trials. Such outcomes include lung function, asthma control measures, symptoms, exacerbations, quality of life, biomarkers, healthcare utilization and cost of care. More recently, recommendations for core measures, supplemental measures and future areas of interest for all future asthma clinical trials have been recommended by the Asthma Outcomes Workshop supported by the National Institute of Health (NIH) and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) in the US.
SUMMARY: Standardization of asthma outcomes allows the comparison of results across multiple studies and centers. The recommendations of the Asthma Outcomes Workshop constitute an excellent first step in standardizing the way in which asthma outcomes are assessed. The asthma research community is now charged with implementing these recommendations and expanding upon them.
