   摘要
   目的：评估人口统计学和临床因素对西班牙哮喘患者生活质量(QoL)的影响
   对象与方法：本研究为一项在西班牙40家肺病病房进行的为期12个月的多中心、前瞻性、观察队列研究。以病例报告形式收集社会人口、临床变量、哮喘治疗和生活质量数据。
   结果：共纳入536例患者(女性占64.6%, 平均年龄: 54岁)。来自西班牙北部和中部的患者生活质量报告好于来自南部和东部的患者(p<0.001)，学生和就业的患者好于家庭主妇和失业者(p<0.01)，接受哮喘疾病信息者(p<0.01)、白天症状较轻者(p<0.01)和教育水平较高者(p<0.05)的生活质量更好。
   结论：在影响患者生活质量的因素中，只有症状控制和哮喘控制的患者教育是可控的。因此，在管理哮喘患者时，所有策略都应为改善这些因素而制定。

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: Assessment of demographic and clinical factors that have an impact on the quality of life (QoL) of patients with asthma in Spain.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Multicenter, prospective, observational, cohort study, conducted in 40 Spanish Pneumology Units during a 12-month period. Data on sociodemographic, clinical variables, asthma treatment and QoL were collected in a case report form.
RESULTS: 536 patients (64.6% women, mean age: 54) were recruited. Reported QoL was better for patients from Northern and Central Spain as compared with those from the South and the East (p<0.001), students and employed patients as compared with housewives and unemployed (p<0.01), for those who had received asthma information (p<0.01), for those with milder daytime symptoms (p<0.01) and for patients with higher level of education (p<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Among the factors that have a significant effect on patients' QoL only symptom control and patient education on asthma control are modifiable. Therefore, all the strategies should be tailored to improve such factors when managing asthma patients.
