Abstract:
Asthma is a heterogeneous disease usually characterized by chronic airway inflammation and recognized as the most prevalent chronic illness among children. Despite this, the knowledge as to how asthma affects adolescents is still scarce. One of the main management problems of asthmatic adolescents is the poor adherence to pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments. The assessment of respiratory function and the impact on quality of life are still two crucial challenges in the management of asthmatic adolescents. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has prompted physicians to explore complementary management strategies including telemedicine technologies. This review aims to provide an update on the contribution of respiratory functional tests, how asthma affects quality of life of adolescents and, finally, how telemedicine contributes to the management of adolescent asthmatics during the COVID-19 pandemic.
摘要:
哮喘是一种异质性疾病,通常以慢性气道炎症为特征,被认为是儿童中最常见的慢性疾病。尽管如此,关于哮喘如何影响青少年的知识仍然很少.哮喘青少年的主要管理问题之一是对药物和非药物治疗的依从性差。呼吸功能的评估和对生活质量的影响仍然是哮喘青少年管理中的两个关键挑战。此外,COVID-19大流行促使医生探索包括远程医疗技术在内的补充管理策略.这篇综述旨在提供呼吸功能测试的最新贡献,哮喘如何影响青少年的生活质量,最后,在COVID-19大流行期间,远程医疗如何有助于青少年哮喘患者的管理。
