ABSTRACT
Objective:To translate the Pediatric Respiratory Assessment Measure into Chinese, and to test its reliability and validity.Methods:According to the Brislin translation model, the English version of Pediatric Respiratory Assessment Measure was translated into Chinese, and then was back-translated and modified for cultural adaptation. From June 2019 to December 2020, convenience sampling method was used to evaluate the severity of 50 children with acute attack of bronchial asthma aged 2-14 years in the Affiliated Huaian No.1 People′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, in order to evaluate its reliability and validity.Results:The Cronbach α of the Chinese version of Pediatric Respiratory Assessment Measure was 0.838, the inter-rater reliability was 0.984; the average scale-content validity index was 0.97. One common factor was extracted, the cumulative variance contribution rate of superior sternal fossa depression was 61.83%. The criterion related validity between the evaluation results of doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists and the grading standard of bronchial asthma severity in the " Guidelines for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of bronchial asthma in children ( 2016 edition)" were 0.903, 0.884 and 0.889, the ROC curve of the scale was 0.867 (95% CI 0.754-0.980). Conclusions:The Chinese version of Pediatric Respiratory Assessment Measure has good reliability and validity, which can be used to evaluate the severity of acute attack of bronchial asthma in children aged 2-14 in China, and provide a basis for further diagnosis and treatment.
ABSTRACT
A asma é uma doença obstrutiva crônica que traz às crianças e adolescentes limitações físicas, motoras e sócio-afetivas, entretanto tem-se na prática de movimentos físicos uma alternativa para amenizar esses efeitos deletérios. O objetivo do estudo é trazer informações práticas sobre a doença e uma proposta de intervenção através de exercícios físicos, motores e funcionais. Estruturou-se metodologicamente este ensaio através de esclarecimentos sobre a asma, seus sintomas, formas de prevenção e aspectos positivos da prática da natação. Após uma proposta de exercícios terrestres através de relaxamento, respiração diafragmática, fortalecimento muscular, desbloqueio torácico e alongamento. Acredita-se que a saúde de asmáticos pode ser melhorada com estas intervenções simples e baixo custo.
Asthma is a chronic obstructive disease that brings children and adolescents physical limitations, motor and socio and emotional , however has been the practice of physical movement an alternative to mitigate these deleterious effects. The aim is to bring practical information about the disease and a proposal for intervention through physical, motor and functional exercises. It is structured methodologically this test through explanations about asthma, its symptoms , prevention and positive aspects of swimming. After a proposed land through relaxation exercises, diaphragmatic breathing, muscle strengthening, stretching and thoracic release. It is believed that the health of asthma can be improved with these simple and low cost interventions .

Este estudo teve como objetivo identificar os sintomas asmáticos e os possíveis fatores associados em crianças de 6 e 7 anos da rede pública de ensino, em um bairro do município de Jequié, Bahia. Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico, de corte transversal, realizado em escolas públicas de Jequié, Bahia, em 2011. Foi utilizado um questionário contendo informações sociodemográficas, aspectos do ambiente domiciliar e o módulo de asma do protocolo ISAAC. Os dados foram tabulados no programa Epidata v.3.1 e analisados no programa estatístico SPSS v.9.0. Foi realizada análise descritiva para caracterização da população através de frequências absoluta e relativa. Foram analisados os sintomas asmáticos segundo as variáveis estudadas, utilizando como medida de significância estatística o teste do ?2 de Pearson e teste exato de Fisher, adotando p<0,05. A maioria dos escolares com sintomas asmáticos era do sexo feminino (44,7%), com renda familiar de até 1 salário mínimo (46,5%). A prevalência de sintoma asmático foi de 57,9%. Foi constatada associação significativa entre sintomas asmáticos e uso regular de medicamento (p=0,003) e ?falta de ar? na presença de poeira e fumaça (p<0,001). Os resultados encontrados neste estudo demonstraram uma alta prevalência de sintomas asmáticos em escolares com famílias que possuem uma baixa renda salarial e precárias condições socioeconômicas.
Este estudio tuvo como objetivo identificar los síntomas del asma y los posibles factores asociados en niños de 6 y 7 años de la rede de enseñanza pública en un distrito del municipio de Jequié, Bahia, Brasil. Se trata de un estudio epidemiológico, trasversal, realizado en las escuelas públicas de Jequié, Bahia, en 2011. Se utilizó un cuestionario con informaciones sociodemográficas, aspectos del entorno del hogar y el módulo de asma del protocolo ISAAC. Los datos se tabularon en el programa Epidata versión 3.1 y fueron analizados en el programa estadístico SPSS versión 9.0. El análisis descriptivo se realizó para caracterizar a la población a través de frecuencias absolutas y relativas. Se analizaron los síntomas de asma de acuerdo a las variables estudiadas, utilizándose como medida de significación estadística el test de ?2 de Pearson y la prueba exacta de Fisher, considerando el valor de p<0,05. La mayoría de los escolares con síntomas de asma eran del género femenino (44,7%), con ingresos familiares de hasta 1 salario mínimo (46,5%). La prevalencia del síntoma de asma fue del 57,9%. Existe una asociación significativa entre los síntomas de asma y el uso regular de la medicación (p=0,003) y de ?no aire? en la presencia de polvo y humo (p<0,001). Los resultados encontrados en este estudio demostraron una alta prevalencia de los síntomas de asma en los niños con familias que tienen un ingreso bajo de salario y con condiciones socioeconómicas pobres.
This study aimed to identify asthma symptoms and associated factors in children aged 6 and 7 years, of public schools, in a district of the city of Jequié, Bahia, Brazil. An epidemiological, cross-sectional study conducted in public schools in Jequié, Bahia, Brazil, in 2011. A questionnaire containing demographic information, aspects of the home environment and asthma module of the ISAAC protocol was used. Data were tabulated on Epidata v.3.1 and analyzed in SPSS v.9.0. Descriptive analysis was used to characterize the population through absolute and relative frequencies. Asthma symptoms were analyzed according to the variables studied, using as a measure of statistical significance the Pearson ?2 and Fisher?s exact tests, considering p<0.05. The most of children with asthma symptoms were female (44.7%), with family income of up to 1 minimum wage (46.5%). The prevalence of asthma symptoms was 57.9%. Were found a significant association between asthma symptoms and regular use of medication (p=0.003) and ?shortness of breath? in the presence of dust and smoke (p<0.001). The results of this study showed a high prevalence of asthma symptoms in children with families with low wage income and poor socioeconomic conditions.

Recently the prevalence of both asthma and obesity have increased substantially in many countries. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of retinol-binding protein (RBP) 4 in childhood asthma and its association with atopy markers, pulmonary function, and bronchial hyperresponsiveness in relation to obesity. We studied 160 children between the ages 6 to 10 yr, including 122 asthmatics and 38 controls. The body mass index, pulmonary function tests, and methacholine challenge tests were measured on the same day. Total eosinophil count, serum total IgE, serum eosinophil cationic protein, and serum RBP4 were measured in all subjects. There was no difference in serum RBP4 levels between the asthmatics and the control group. In all subjects or subgroups, serum RBP4 was not associated with total eosinophil count, serum total IgE, serum eosinophil cationic protein, or PC20. There was no relationship between serum RBP4 and pulmonary function in female asthmatics. Forced expiratory volume in 1 second/forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory flow between 25% and 75% of FVC contributed to serum RBP4 in male asthmatics. Our findings show an association between RBP4 and pulmonary function in prepubertal male asthmatics. This relationship may indirectly affect the high prevalence of childhood asthma in males.
