Control of Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma Test (CARAT): dissemination and applica...
Azevedo, P; Correia de Sousa, J; Bousquet, J; Bugalho-Almeida, A; Del Giacco, SR; Demoly, P; Haahtela, T; Jacinto, T; Garcia-Larsen, V; van der Molen, TAsthma frequently occurs in association with allergic rhinitis and a combined management approach has been suggested. The Control of Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma Test (CARAT) is the first questionnaire to assess control of both diseases concurrently. However, to have an impact on healthcare it needs to be disseminated and adopted. In this paper we discuss the dissemination of CARAT in different countries and it...
Environmental tobacco smoke exposure at home and smoking prevalence in the gene...
Pereira, AM; Morais-Almeida, M; Sá e Sousa, A; Jacinto, T; Azevedo, LF; Robalo-Cordeiro, C; Bugalho de Almeida, A; Fonseca, JABACKGROUND: We aimed to: 1) estimate the prevalence of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) at home in the Portuguese population; 2) estimate tobacco smoking prevalence in Portugal; 3) identify social and personal characteristics associated with smoking or exposure to ETS. METHODS: Nationwide, cross-sectional, population-based telephone survey. Overall, 6003 individuals completed the interview. ETS exp...
Exhaled nitric oxide levels and blood eosinophil counts independently associate...
Malinovschi, A; Fonseca, JA; Jacinto, T; Alving, K; Janson, CBACKGROUND: Fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (Feno) and blood eosinophil count (B-Eos) values, markers of local and systemic eosinophilic inflammation, respectively, are increased in asthmatic patients. Little is known about the relation of these markers to reported wheeze and asthma events in a random population sample. OBJECTIVES: We sought to determine the individual and independent values of B-Eos and Feno ...
Setting reference values for exhaled nitric oxide: a systematic review
Jacinto, T; Alving, K; Correia, R; Costa-Pereira, A; Fonseca, JABACKGROUND: The values obtained when the fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is measured are affected by several factors that are specific to the individual patient, making interpretation difficult, especially in the initial assessment of patients with respiratory symptoms. METHODS: Systematic review of studies on FeNO reference values and individual-specific factors that influence them. RESULTS: From 3739 ...
Effects of atopy and rhinitis on exhaled nitric oxide values - a systematic review
Linhares, D; Jacinto, T; Pereira, AM; Fonseca, JABACKGROUND: Atopy and rhinitis are among the factors affecting exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) values and may contribute to difficulties in the clinical interpretation of FeNO measurements. However, data assessing their effects on FeNO values had never been summarized. This review aims to evaluate the effect of atopy and rhinitis in FeNO values in otherwise healthy individuals. METHODS: A systematic review was perf...
