Resumo: OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the impact of asthma on activities of daily living and on health status in patients with controlled, partially controlled, or uncontrolled asthma in Brazil.METHODS:We used data related to 400 patients in four Brazilian cities (São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, and Curitiba), obtained in a survey conducted throughout Latin America in 2011. All study subjects were > 12 years of age and completed a standardized questionnaire in face-to-face interviews. The questions addressed asthma control, hospitalizations, emergency room visits, and school/work absenteeism, as well as the impact of asthma on the quality of life, sleep, and leisure. The level of asthma control was determined in accordance with the Global Initiative for Asthma criteria.RESULTS:Among the 400 respondents, asthma was controlled in 37 (9.3%), partially controlled in 226 (56.5%), and uncontrolled in 137 (34.2%). The numbers of patients with uncontrolled or partially controlled asthma who visited the emergency room, who were hospitalized, and who missed school/work were higher than were those of patients with controlled asthma (p = 0.001, p = 0.05, and p = 0.01, respectively). Among those with uncontrolled asthma, the impact of the disease on activities of daily living, sleep, social activities, and normal physical exertion was greater than it was among those with controlled or partially controlled asthma (p < 0.001).CONCLUSIONS:In Brazil, asthma treatment should be monitored more closely in order to increase treatment adherence and, consequently, the level of asthma control, which can improve patient quality of life and minimize the negative impact of the disease.

Todos os indivíduos do estudo tinham idade > 12 anos e responderam a um questionário padronizado por meio de entrevista presencial. As questões abordavam o controle da asma, número de hospitalizações, de consultas de urgência, absenteísmo na escola/trabalho e impacto da asma na qualidade de vida, sono e lazer. O nível de controle da asma foi verificado segundo os critérios da Global Initiative for Asthma.RESULTADOS:Entre 400 entrevistados, a asma estava controlada em 37 (9,3%); parcialmente controlada, em 226 (56,5%); e não controlada, em 137 (34,2%). O número de pacientes com asma não controlada ou parcialmente controlada que apresentaram hospitalizações, visitas ao pronto-socorro e faltas na escola/trabalho foi maior do que o daqueles com asma controlada (p = 0,001, p = 0,05 e p = 0,01, respectivamente). Os participantes com asma não controlada apresentaram um maior impacto da doença em atividades da vida diária, sono, atividades sociais e esforço físico normal do que aqueles com asma parcialmente controlada ou controlada (p < 0,001).CONCLUSÕES:Medidas terapêuticas devem ser mais intensamente adotadas em nosso país para melhorar o controle da asma e estimular a aderência ao tratamento. Isso, seguramente, proporcionará uma melhor qualidade de vida aos pacientes e uma redução do impacto negativo da doença.Federal University of São Paulo Paulista School of MedicineSao Camilo University CenterMerck, Sharp &amp; Dohme Corp.University of Puerto Rico School of Public HealthUNIFESP, EPMSciELOSociedade Brasileira de Pneumologia e TisiologiaUniversidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Sao Camilo University CenterMerck, Sharp &amp; Dohme Corp.University of Puerto Rico School of Public HealthGazzotti, Mariana RodriguesNascimento, Oliver Augusto [UNIFESP]Montealegre, FedericoFish, JamesJardim, José Roberto [UNIFESP]2015-06-14T13:45:36Z2015-06-14T13:45:36Z2013-09-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion532-538application/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1806-37132013000500002Jornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia.
