Assessment of asthma causes identified by spirometry in Lahore, Pakistan
Abstract
This study was done to find out the causes of asthma in population of Lahore, Pakistan. Total of 2003 subjects from 9 administrative towns of Lahore, Pakistan were divided into 3 groups; G1 (normal), G2 (asthmatics with obstruction) and G3 (asthmatics with restriction) for spirometry over 1-year period (July, 2018-2019) at Jinnah hospital, Lahore using (Spirolab, IPX1FCC ID: TUK-MIR045 Roma-Italy). From 2003 subjects, 400 were randomly selected for questionnaire study consisting normal (n=200) and asthmatics (n=200). There were 60% records from male patients and 40% from female patients between the age limit of 07-104 years. Questionnaire depicted that more than 90% asthmatic subjects feel wheezy; 50% people did not have heredity asthma but had attached kitchen and bath; 60% people had complicated life style and joint family system; have pets, cockroaches, carpets and molds; more than 60% subjects use gas stove in their indoor. Data was analyzed using x2 tests for questionnaire and Pearson’s correlation coefficient (r) using SPSS (v.22). FVC and FEV1 < 80% of value and FEV1/FVC ratio < 70% were considered asthmatic. There was positive correlation between age (p<0.05) and FVC among G1 and G2. Age and prevalence of asthma were significantly positively correlated (p<0.05) in G3. G2 & G3 showed forces expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) or peak expiratory flow (PEF) < 60%. FVC was significantly correlated positively (p<0.05) with asthma prevalence. There was significantly positive correlation (p<0.05) for asthma prevalence. Various factors under this study impair life quality of asthmatics.
