简要总结
The goal of this retrospective study is to learn about the effects of rehabilitation and treatment stays combined with speleotherapy in children with asthma. Medical records of 415 patients with this clinical diagnosis were analyzed and the main question was:
• Does speleotherapeutic intervention increase distance in 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) and influence spirometry parameters and fractional exhaled nitric oxide concentration (FeNO) in children with asthma?
详细描述
Background: Bronchial asthma is the leading cause of chronic disease and missed school days in children. The aim of the study was to evaluate pulmonary function and exercise tolerance in children with asthma who underwent speleotherapeutic intervention (STI) between January 2022 and October 2023 at Sanatorium Edel in Zlaté Hory.
Methods: Medical records of 415 patients with clinical diagnosis of bronchial asthma (J45.9, J45.0, J45, J45.8, J45.1) were analysed. The patients attended rehabilitation and treatment stays with a median length of 32 days combined with an average number of 15 speleotherapy sessions. The spirometry parameters, fractional exhaled nitric oxide concentration (FeNO), and 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) distance were measured before and after STI.
