Abstract
Objective To investigate the change of lung function in children with atypical asthma and different lung function index to evaluate the difference of bronchial dilation test positive rate.Methods Seventy-one cases of atypical asthma children routine monitoring lung function,underwent bronchial dilation test,the airway index changes were observed.Results Seventy-one cases of atypical asthma children with big airways function index of forced expiratory volume in first second FEV1,percentage of FEV1 to forced vital capacity (FVC) were basic normal,and the reaction of small airways function index of forced expiratory flow at 25% of FVC,forced expiratory flow at 50% of FVC,forced expiratory flow at 75% of FVC,forced expiratory flow at 25%-75% of FVC were decreased in different degrees,and mainly for medium and severe damage.FEV1 as evaluation index,the positive rate of bronchial dilation test diastolic was 47.9% (34/71),and forced expiratory flow rate at 25%-75% in FVC as evaluation index,the positive rate of bronchial dilation test was 69.0% (49/71),there was significant difference (x2 =8.086,P =0.004).Conclusions Lung function changes in atypical asthma children are mainly on small airways,and mainly for medium and severe damage,the bronchial dilation test positive rate in such children using the evaluation,forced expiratory flow rate at 25%-75% in FVC can assist FEV1,decrease the rate of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.
