Mortalidad por asma en Inglaterra y Gales: evidencia de un nuevo aumento, 1974-84
Lancet (London, England)
|August 9, 1986
Resumen
La mortalidad por asma aumentó significativamente en un 4,7% anual en el grupo de edad de 5 a 34 años entre 1974 y 1984. Este aumento en las muertes por asma pone de relieve la necesidad de un mejor monitoreo de la enfermedad para comprender sus causas.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Epidemiología La epidemiología.
- Salud Pública La salud pública.
- Medicina de las vías respiratorias.
Sus antecedentes:
- Las tendencias de mortalidad por asma requieren una estimación utilizando datos históricos.
- Las revisiones de la Clasificación Internacional de Enfermedades pueden afectar las estadísticas de mortalidad.
- Comprender los patrones de mortalidad por asma es crucial para las intervenciones de salud pública.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para estimar las tendencias en la mortalidad por asma de 1974 a 1984.
- Para analizar las tasas de mortalidad específicas por edad dentro del período estudiado.
- Identificar posibles factores que contribuyen a los cambios observados en la mortalidad.
Principales métodos:
- Se utilizaron las estadísticas de mortalidad publicadas de 1974 a 1984.
- Teniendo en cuenta los cambios en la revisión de la Clasificación Internacional de Enfermedades (CIE) en 1979.
- Cambios porcentuales anuales calculados en las tasas de mortalidad para grupos de edad específicos.
Principales resultados:
- La mortalidad por asma mostró un aumento anual promedio del 4,7% en el grupo de edad de 5 a 34 años (p <0,05).
- Un estimado de 408 muertes en exceso en el grupo de edad de 5-64 años se atribuyeron al aumento de la mortalidad desde 1974 (1975-1984).
Conclusiones:
- Se observó una tendencia al alza significativa en la mortalidad por asma en grupos de edad más jóvenes.
- La falta de un monitoreo adecuado de la prevalencia y la gravedad del asma dificulta la explicación del aumento de la mortalidad.
- Se necesitan más investigaciones y vigilancia para comprender y abordar el aumento de la mortalidad por asma.

01:29Asthma-I: Introduction
Asthma is a chronic respiratory ailment that requires careful management due to its varying symptoms and influencing factors. It is characterized by airway inflammation, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and reversible airflow obstruction, leading to symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. The symptom frequency and intensity may vary considerably over time. It is also linked to immune system responses to allergens and irritants, highlighting the complex...
01:26Asthma-II: Pathophysiology and Classification
Asthma is a prevalent chronic respiratory condition marked by inflammation and hyperresponsiveness of the airways. Its pathophysiology involves complex interactions among inflammatory pathways, immune responses, and neural mechanisms.
Additionally, environmental and genetic factors play crucial roles in determining an individual's susceptibility to asthma and the severity of their condition.
Critical processes in asthma pathophysiology include:

01:28Asthma I: Introduction
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways characterized by variable airflow obstruction and heightened bronchial responsiveness to a wide range of triggers. The underlying inflammation leads to airway swelling, mucus hypersecretion, and smooth muscle constriction, all of which narrow the airway lumen and impede airflow. Clinically, asthma presents with recurrent episodes of wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing, symptoms that typically vary in intensity and...
01:13Asthma III: Clinical Manifestations
Asthma presents with a characteristic pattern of episodic respiratory symptoms that reflect underlying airway inflammation, bronchoconstriction, and mucus hypersecretion. Although severity varies among individuals, certain clinical manifestations are considered hallmarks of the disorder and often guide diagnosis and assessment.Respiratory SymptomsA persistent cough is one of the most common early features of asthma. It is frequently dry and tends to worsen at night or in the early morning,...
