- W2160044057 abstract "Zeiger et al (Zeiger RS, Dawson C, Weiss S, Childhood Asthma Management Program Research Group. Relationships between duration of asthma and asthma severity among children in the Childhood Asthma Management Program (CAMP). J Allergy Clin Immunol 1999;103:376-87) concluded that asthma duration is associated with lower lung function and greater methacholine responsiveness. This conclusion is seemingly in contradiction with our long-term study,1König P Shaffer J. The effect of drug therapy on long-term outcome of childhood asthma: a possible preview of the international guidelines.J Allergy Clin Immunol. 1996; 98: 1103-1111Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (90) Google Scholar which concluded that pulmonary function deteriorated over time in patients treated with bronchodilators only, whereas it actually improved in patients treated with anti-inflammatory drugs (cromolyn sodium or inhaled corticosteroids). Several facts are worth mentioning: 1.The effect of duration in the study of Zeiger et al was very small and the statistical significance is mainly due to the very large sample size (more than 1000 children). Thus, for methacholine responsiveness, duration of illness is only responsible for 1.25% of variance, and for FEV 1 (prebronchodilator) the number is 3.1%.2.The authors’ own data suggest that anti-inflammatory drugs have an effect on pulmonary function because patients previously receiving cromolyn sodium had a significantly higher FEV 1 than those not receiving this drug.3.Careful reading of the study’s methods published elsewhere2Childhood Asthma Management Program The Childhood Asthma Management Program (CAMP): design, rationale, and methods.Control Clin Trials. 1999; 20: 91-120Abstract Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (309) Google Scholar reveals that cromolyn sodium and inhaled corticosteroids were discontinued 4 weeks before the methacholine test and 6 weeks before the spirometry measurements. Previous studies have clearly established that both nonsteroidal (cromolyn or nedocromil) and steroidal anti-inflammatory treatment improve both pulmonary function3Smith JM Devey GF.

The long-term effects of nedocromil sodium and beclomethasone dipropionate on bronchial responsiveness to methacholine in nonatopic asthmatic subjects.Am Rev Respir Dis. 1990; 141: 21-28Crossref PubMed Scopus (136) Google Scholar In view of these facts, the study by Zeiger et al cannot exclude the possibility that patients treated with anti-inflammatory drugs do not have a progressive deterioration with time in pulmonary function and bronchial hyperreactivity, and therefore their conclusion is not that far from the conclusion of our study, namely, that only patients not treated with anti-inflammatory drugs deteriorate with time. Deterioration with duration of the disease is an important concept because it influences the continuing debate about the need for early intervention and the nature of that intervention in the prevention of the possibility of irreversible airway obstruction. Therefore it is very important that the correct conclusions are drawn from the study of Zeiger et al." @default.
