Retrospective Cohort Study on Asthma With Frequent Acute Attacks Phenotype

December 26, 2023 updated by: Liang Dong, Qianfoshan Hospital

A Retrospective Cohort Study on the Risk Factors and Prognosis of Asthma With Frequent Acute Attacks Phenotype

  1. Identify the risk factors for frequent acute exacerbations of asthma: establish a retrospective study, classify patients into frequent acute exacerbation group and non-frequent acute exacerbation group based on the number of acute exacerbations, analyze the characteristics of the two groups, provide clinical, pathological, and comorbidity features of the frequent acute exacerbation subtype of asthma, determine the risk factors associated with frequent acute exacerbations, and establish a disease prediction model for frequent acute exacerbations of asthma.
  2. Observe the prognosis and treatment outcome of patients with frequent acute exacerbations of asthma, clarify the relevant factors for poor prognosis in this group of patients, and explore individualized treatment plans to improve the prognosis of patients.
  3. Investigate the inflammatory mechanism of frequent acute exacerbations of asthma: use omics methods to screen for subtype-specific biomarkers of frequent acute exacerbations and validate them, clarify the pathogenesis of this subtype, and discover new specific treatment targets.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

18-65 years old, taking asthma medication for at least 4 weeks. The diagnostic criteria for asthma are based on the recommendations of the current guidelines (Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Bronchial Asthma (Version 2020), as follows:

  1. Repeated episodes of wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, or coughing are often associated with exposure to allergens, cold air, physical and chemical stimuli, viral upper respiratory tract infections, and exercise.
  2. During the attack, scattered or diffuse wheezing sounds can be heard in both lungs, mainly in the expiratory phase, and the expiratory phase is prolonged.
  3. The above symptoms and signs can be alleviated by treatment or spontaneously.
  4. Except for wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing caused by other diseases.
  5. Those with atypical clinical manifestations (such as no obvious wheezing or physical signs) should have at least one positive pulmonary function test as follows: 1. Positive bronchial provocation test or exercise provocation test; The positive FEV1 of bronchodilator test increased by ≥ 12%;, And the absolute value of FEV1 increase ≥ 200ml; 3. Peak expiratory flow (PEF) intraday (or 2-week) variability ≥ 20%.

Asthma can be diagnosed if it meets the criteria of 1-4 or 4-5.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Complicated with pneumonia, pulmonary interstitial fibrosis, active pulmonary tuberculosis, obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome, and other respiratory system related diseases, with a previous history of lung surgery;
  2. Those with the following diseases or conditions: severe, progressive, or uncontrolled cardiovascular, liver, kidney, hematopoietic, and neurological disorders; Malignant tumor; Or the presence of immunosuppression (including the use of immunosuppressants or HIV infection resulting in low immune function);
  3. Accompanied by severe gastrointestinal diseases (such as inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] or irritable bowel syndrome [IBS]), severe diarrhea (watery stools more than 3 times and lasting for more than 3 days) and constipation (less than 2 stools per week and accompanied by difficulty in defecation) in the past 3 weeks;
  4. Systematic application of antibiotics, systemic glucocorticoids (including oral, intravenous [IV] or intramuscular [IM]), microecological agents, or traditional Chinese medicine within the past 4 weeks;
  5. Excessive obesity (BMI>32.0 kg/m2), pregnant and lactating women;
  6. Poor compliance, unable to cooperate with clinical observation and specimen collection.

Asthma with frequent acute exacerbations phenotype
Asthma with frequent acute exacerbations phenotype was defined as having at least two acute attacks in the past 12 months.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Annualized asthma exacerbation rate
Time Frame: one year
Annual asthma exacerbation rate is calculated as total number of exacerbations of interest divided by the total time at risk
one year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Post-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 second
Time Frame: up to one year
Lung function will be described.
up to one year
Median inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) dose change
