[Effectiveness of detection of bronchial asthma with two international questionnaires]
Aim:
Assessment of two questionnaires (ECRHS and IUATLD) for efficiency in bronchial asthma (BA) detection.
Material And Methods:
196 patients aged 16-59 years seeking advice of a doctor for pulmonary or extrapulmonary complaints. All of them have not been previously examined for BA. At first stage of the study the patients filled in ECRHS and IUATLD questionnaires. At the second stage patients who had answered positively as least one question of the above questionnaires underwent clinical, functional and allergological examinations.
Results:
BA was more frequently detected in patients with chronic bronchopulmonary and allergic diseases. New cases with mild disease predominated.
Conclusion:
Both questionnaires were effective for BA diagnosis but ECRHS showed a number of advantages which make it preferable for epidemiological surveys.
