Secondary endpoints of the study compared the proportion of patients with HCRU use, HCRU events, and WPAI component scores 12 months before mepolizumab initiation with 24 months follow-up. The relative rates of HCRU outcomes were calculated, with a treatment policy estimand for discontinuation.Results: Patients (N = 822) had a mean age of 54 years and 63% were female. Hospitalization rates were reduced by 53% in the 0-12-month follow-up period (p < 0.001) and sustained for 24 months. The rates of asthma-related hospitalizations, emergency department visits, and outpatient visits reduced by 59-64% (p < 0.001) across the 24-month follow-up. The mean number of overnight hospital stays reduced from 2.4 in the pre-treatment period to 1.0 and 0.5 in the 0-12-month and 12-24-month follow-up periods, respectively.

The control group was matched by sex, age, and body mass index (BMI). The evaluations included comorbidities, fear of falling, muscle strength, and postural balance in different conditions. Subsequently, individuals received a fall diary and were followed up for six months.Results: AG had more comorbidities, greater fear of falling, and consumed more medications (p < 0.005). AG also had worse postural balance assessed by the Mini-BESTest compared to the CG (23 [18.0-25.0] vs. 24 [21.00-26.00] score; p = 0.03).

Despite appropriate treatment, achieving optimal asthma control remains challenging, particularly in pediatric populations. This study aimed to identify factors associated with poor asthma control in children with SA, focusing on clinical, functional, and caregiver-related variables. This retrospective cohort study included children aged 6-17 years with SA followed for up to three years in the Asmaire-Rexpira Program in Bogota, Colombia. Asthma control was defined using a comprehensive composite score integrating symptom questionnaires, exacerbation history, corticosteroid use, hospitalizations, and spirometry. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify independent risk factors for uncontrolled asthma. Results: Of the 228 children included, 35.5% had uncontrolled asthma. Obstructive sleep apnea (OR: 2.16; 95% CI: 1.13-4.11; p = 0.019) and moderate to severe impairment in caregiver quality of life (OR: 12.35; 95% CI: 4.15-36.80; p < 0.001) were independently associated with uncontrolled asthma. Systemic corticosteroid use and hospitalization in the prior year were significantly more common in this group. Lung function was preserved in most children; however, those with uncontrolled asthma exhibited significantly greater bronchodilator reversibility (5.8% vs. 4.1%; p = 0.015) and higher functional variability over time based on conditional FEV1 change scores (≥ +1.96 z-score in 18.9% vs. 8.5%). Conclusions: uncontrolled asthma in children with SA is associated with comorbid sleep apnea, caregiver burden, and functional variability despite normal spirometric values. These findings underscore the need for multidimensional evaluation, caregiver support, and longitudinal monitoring to optimize asthma control in high-risk pediatric populations.","PeriodicalId":15076,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asthma","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145064693","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigated the therapeutic mechanism of point application therapy focusing on the acupoints Feishu (BL13), Pishu (BL20), and Shenshu (BL23) for asthma treatment.Methods: An asthma model was established in Wistar rats via intraperitoneal ovalbumin injection combined with nebulization. Therapeutic ointments were prepared using white mustard seed, Yanhusuo, Gansui and Asarum sieboldii, which were applied topically to the Feishu (BL13), Pishu (BL20) and Shenshu (BL23) acupoints. To examine the mechanistic basis, the AMPK inhibitor dorsomorphin (compound C, CC) was employed. We subsequently measured inflammatory factor levels in rat serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, quantified AMPK/mTOR pathway-related protein expression, and assessed pulmonary inflammation alongside collagen deposition in airway mucosa.Results: The point application therapy significantly ameliorated asthma symptoms and reduced levels of inflammatory factors, including interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-1β, in both serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. The treatment additionally decreased expression levels of mTOR, LC3, NF-κB and TGF-β1 while increasing AMPK content. Histological examination revealed reduced inflammatory cell infiltration and diminished collagen deposition in both lung and airway tissues. Crucially, administration of the AMPK inhibitor dorsomorphin substantially attenuated the therapeutic efficacy of point application therapy in asthmatic rats.Conclusions: Point application therapy targeting Feishu, Pishu and Shenshu acupoints inhibits autophagy in airway and lung tissues in asthma.

Analytical robustness was evaluated through pleiotropy and heterogeneity testing. Functional enrichment and literature-based pathway analyses were performed to support biological plausibility and validate findings.Results: Four proteins showed significant causal effects on asthma: CCL19 and LIFR were protective (OR = 0.89 and 0.91, p ≤ 6.8E-03), while ARTN and IL6 were associated with increased risk (OR = 1.15 and 1.18, p ≤ 1.1E-04). We also identified reverse causal effects of asthma on 11 cytokines, including MMP10, TGFB1, IL33, and IL18R1. Most of these proteins were enriched in pathways related to cytokine signaling and immune response (p < 0.001). All identified proteins had prior literature support linking them to asthma or airway inflammation.Conclusions: Our findings highlight a subset of circulating inflammatory proteins that are likely causal in asthma pathogenesis and may serve as promising targets for therapeutic intervention.

The latest data regarding asthma was obtained from the FinnGen database. We utilized single nucleotide polymorphisms as instrumental variables to conduct five MR methods. To confirm the accuracy of the results, additional sensitivity analyses were performed to eliminate any potential confounding factors, such as heterogeneity and pleiotropy.Results: MR and sensitivity analyses revealed an association between circulating urate and asthma, suggesting a potential increase in asthma risk (OR = 1.090; 95% CI = 1.030-1.150; p = 0.004).

Wearable devices (WD) are increasingly popular tools for promoting PA, but limited research has examined their effectiveness among individuals with asthma.

Participants who self-reported a diagnosis of asthma were included in this secondary data analysis. Based on the self-report, participants were categorized as WD users or non-users. PA measures included total weekly minutes of PA, weekly minutes of vigorous PA, and whether participants met national PA guidelines. Survey-weighted unadjusted and adjusted linear and logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess associations between WD use and PA outcomes.Results: Among the included 497 participants with asthma, 28.19% (95% CI [19.36, 38.30]) of participants were WD users and 71.81% (95% CI [61.7, 80.64]) were non-users. 65.91% (95% CI [57.36, 73.82]) of the participants met the PA guidelines. The unadjusted and adjusted linear regressions found no statistically significant differences in weekly PA and weekly vigorous PA between WD users and non-users. Further, no statistically significant associations were found between WD usage and meeting PA guidelines (p > .05).Conclusions: WD use was not associated with higher PA levels among individuals with asthma.
