| MedWire News: Smoking is associated with increased severity of new-onset asthma in allergic adults, research shows.
Writing in the journal Respiratory Research, Riccardo Polosa (University of Catania newport cigarettes wholesale, Italy) and colleagues observe: "Although factors such as gender newports cigarettes website, atopy newport cigarettes wholesale, duration of asthma, bronchial hyperresponsiveness newports cigarettes, and frequent asthma exacerbations appear to be important determinants of the severe asthma phenotype newport 100, the association between common modifiable risk factors such as cigarette smoking and asthma severity has received surprisingly little attention." For the current study, the researchers examined the influence of smoking on the severity of new-onset asthma among 371 adults with allergic rhinitis who were followed up for 10 years. Of the 152 patients who developed asthma during follow up wholesale newport 100s cigarettes, 74 (48.7%) were current smokers cheap newport cigarettes, 17 (11.2%) were former smokers newport cigarettes online, and 61 (40.1%) had never smoked. Asthma severity among these patients was calculated according to Global Initiative for Asthma criteria and defined as intermittent, mild persistent, moderate persistent, or severe persistent asthma. For the purposes of this study, patients with moderate persistent or severe persistent asthma were defined as having severe asthma. Univariate analysis indicated that current and former smokers had a greater risk for severe new-onset asthma than those who had never smoked newport 100s, at an odds ratio of 2.10 newport cigarette, but this became non-significant in multivariate analysis that adjusted for age cheap newport cigarettes, gender marboro red cigarettes, family history of atopy, and other factors. However, pack years of smoking among patients who developed asthma were significantly related to disease severity in multivariate analysis. Indeed, patients with 1-10 newport reds, 11-20 marlboro cigarettes stamp, and more than 20 pack-years of smoking were a respective 1.47, 2.85 wholesale newports, and 5.59 times more likely to develop severe asthma than those who had never smoked. |
