Objective: Every year, millions of Muslims from around the world gather in Saudi Arabia to perform Hajj. Before leaving for pilgrimage, Indonesian pilgrims go through various health examinations in Regional Primary Health Center (Pusat Kesehatan Masyarakat/ Puskesmas). Since there was no existing research on Asthma Control Test (ACT) assessment for pilgrims with bronchial asthma to predict asthma exacerbations during Hajj pilgrimage period, this cohort study was conducted to fill this gap.Methods: Pilgrims who suffered from asthma were recruited in Daerah Khusus Ibukota (DKI) Jakarta Province region in 2018. The degree classification of asthma in the ACT group was determined as uncontrolled, partially controlled, and fully controlled. ACT scores were calculated in Puskesmas and embarkation. Observation of asthma exacerbations in pilgrims while performing Hajj was performed by doctors. Data were analyzed with SPSS for Windows.Results: A total of 68 participants were included (46 female [67.6%]; 45 aged <60 years [66.2%]). At embarkation, the asthma classification based on the ACT was as follows: 36 (52.9%) and 13 (19.1%) pilgrims had partially controlled and uncontrolled asthma, and 17 (47.2%) and 8 (61.5%) of each group experienced exacerbation, respectively, with p = 0.006 for the ACT values at embarkation. The area under the curve value was 0.717 (95% CI; 0.596-0.838).Conclusion: There was increased asthma exacerbation incidence in the uncontrolled and partially controlled ACT groups at embarkation compared to the fully controlled ACT group. The ACT score was able to predict the occurrence of acute asthma exacerbation during Hajj period.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 04 No. 02 April’20 Page : 128-135

This study aims to determine the effect of buteyko breathing technique on asthma control test.The quasi experimental study with the pretest and post test one group design approach involved 14 patients with asthma selected from the Lung Polyclinic of Dr. Hasan Sadikin Bandung with consecutive sampling. Asthma control was collected using time series ACT. The collected data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially with the scale of significance p smaller than 0.05.The results showed a significantly higher mean difference between ACT scores after buteyko breathing technique 19.79 more or less 1.47 with ACT score at week III 17.50 moe or less 1.78 week II 12.64 more or less 1.82, week I 9.57 more or less 1.95, and pretest 7.64 more or less 1.82. Post hoc analysis found the fourth week post test score 19.79 more or less 1.47 significantly better than post test week III 17.50 more or less 1.78, week II 12.64 more or less 1.82, week I 9.57 more or less 1.95, and pretest 7.64 more or less 1.82 in improving asthma control. It was concluded that there was an effect of buteyko breathing technique on asthma control test. Thus, the results of this study become important as a study material for nurses at the Hospital in an effort to increase asthma control test.

Serum Periostin

Background: Asthma is a heterogenous disease composed of various phenotype. Chronic airway inflammation are fundamental features of asthma. The main treatment of asthma is corticosteroid. The administration of inhaled corticosteroids will reduce the inflammatory process in asthma. Even with adequate inhaled corticosteroid treatment, there are still patients who develop symptoms with lower asthma control test score. Periostin is an extracellular matrix protein as the best single systemic biomarker for assessing tissue eosinophilia, airway remodeling in uncontrolled asthma. The objective of this study was to examine whether serum periostin is correlated with ACT in asthmatic patients. Methods: This research was an observational analytical with cross sectional design conducted in outpatient clinic Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya for 3 months. In total, we found 40 asthmatic patients who were qualified to the inclusion and exclusion criteria as the research samples.  The questionnaire was filled in to assess the Asthma Control Test and venous blood tests to measure serum periostin levels using Sandwich Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) method. Results: The mean periostin level profile of the sample was 94.82 ± 19.21 ng/ml and the median was 94.7 ng/ml. The average ACT score was 16.55 ± 2.93 with 85% were uncontrolled asthma. The results of the independent t-test showed serum periostin levels and the level of asthma control based on ACT score in asthmatics patients had a significant correlation (p = 0.024). Conclusion: There is a significant correlation between serum periostin levels and ACT score in asthmatic patients.

Zusammenfassung Einleitung Die Wirksamkeit der deutschen Disease-Management-Programme (DMP) Asthma und chronisch obstruktive Lungenerkrankung (COPD) kann mit den gesetzlich vorgeschriebenen Dokumentationen nicht gezeigt werden. Studien mit Vergleichsgruppen sind selten. Ziel war es, in einer Querschnittstudie zu untersuchen, ob sich die Krankheitskontrolle bei Teilnehmern (DMP+) und Nicht-Teilnehmern (DMP–) der DMP Asthma und COPD voneinander unterscheidet. Methoden Die Studie ist eine prospektive, multizentrische Querschnittstudie, die untersucht, inwieweit DMP+-Patienten sich von entsprechenden DMP–-Patienten im Hinblick auf ihre Krankheitskontrolle voneinander unterscheiden. Primärer Endpunkt war die Krankheitskontrolle, gemessen mit dem Asthma-Control-Test™ (ACT) im Studienteil Asthma sowie dem COPD-Assessment-Test™ (CAT) im Studienteil COPD. Ergebnisse Insgesamt wurden 1038 Asthma-Patienten und 846 COPD-Patienten eingeschlossen, je mit etwa 70 % DMP-Teilnehmern. Der ACT-Score war bei den Asthma-DMP+-Patienten höher als bei den DMP– -Patienten (Mittelwertdifferenz 0,86; 95 % KI: 0,29 – 1,43; p = 0,003), allerdings klinisch nicht relevant. Bei COPD-Patienten fand sich ebenfalls kein klinisch relevanter Unterschied in der Krankheitskontrolle (0,52; 95 % KI: – 0,71 – 1,75; p = 0,405). Nur etwa 60 % der Patienten, die seit mindestens einem Jahr in das entsprechende DMP eingeschrieben waren, hatten an einer strukturierten Schulung teilgenommen. Zwischen geschulten und nicht geschulten Patienten fand sich kein Unterschied in der Krankheitskontrolle. Diskussion Es fand sich kein klinisch relevanter Unterschied in der Krankheitskontrolle zwischen DMP+ - und DMP– -Patienten für die DMP Asthma und COPD. International wurde die Wirksamkeit von DMP bei Asthma und COPD in randomisierten Studien nachgewiesen. Auch in Deutschland sollten randomisierte Studien durchgeführt werden, um die Wirksamkeit der DMP Asthma und COPD zu belegen. Registrierung drks.de, DRKS00007664, Registrierungsdatum: 15.01.2015
