Mothers completed the Parenting Stress Index Short Form during the first 12 months postpartum. Mothers with asthma also completed the Asthma Control Questionnaire. Results: Parenting stress did not differ between mothers with and without asthma. Additionally, for mothers with asthma, there were no differences in levels of parenting stress based on asthma control. Conclusions: This study suggests that mothers with asthma are not at an increased risk for excessive parenting stress. However, due to response and sampling bias, levels of parenting stress in asthmatic mothers may be underreported in our sample.]]> Wed 13 Mar 2024 08:01:44 AEDT ]]> Exercise Training Programs Improve Cardiorespiratory and Functional Fitness in Adults With Asthma: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:52410 Wed 11 Oct 2023 11:59:39 AEDT ]]> Maternal diet modulates the infant microbiome and intestinal Flt3L necessary for dendritic cell development and immunity to respiratory infection https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53688 Wed 10 Jan 2024 10:34:54 AEDT ]]> Increasing physical activity in severe asthma: a systematic review and meta-analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:50859 Wed 09 Aug 2023 10:13:55 AEST ]]> Effectiveness of Interventions Targeting Treatable Traits for the Management of Obstructive Airway Diseases: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:50855 Wed 09 Aug 2023 09:52:34 AEST ]]> Characteristics of the airway-systemic innate inflammation axis in COPD and severe asthma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:52619 Wed 06 Mar 2024 15:31:25 AEDT ]]> Relationships between in utero exposures, cord blood immune cell populations and early life lung function https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:48046 Wed 06 Mar 2024 15:13:59 AEDT ]]> Treatable traits in asthma during pregnancy: a call for a shift towards a precision-based management approach https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54622 Wed 06 Mar 2024 10:53:21 AEDT ]]> Treatable traits, combination inhaler therapy and the future of asthma management https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54624 Wed 06 Mar 2024 10:53:15 AEDT ]]> Treatable traits models of care https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54623 Wed 06 Mar 2024 10:51:58 AEDT ]]> Inflammatory and anti-viral responses to influenza A virus infection are dysregulated in pregnant mice with allergic airway disease https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:52146 Wed 04 Oct 2023 10:20:41 AEDT ]]> Single-cell RNA transcriptomic analysis identifies Creb5 and CD11b-DCs as regulator of asthma exacerbations https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:50541 Wed 02 Aug 2023 13:55:11 AEST ]]> The Impact of Meal Dietary Inflammatory Index on Exercise-Induced Changes in Airway Inflammation in Adults with Asthma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:52880 Tue 31 Oct 2023 10:44:58 AEDT ]]> Endoplasmic reticulum-unfolded protein response signalling is altered in severe eosinophilic and neutrophilic asthma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:49760 Tue 30 May 2023 18:39:10 AEST ]]> Key Considerations When Addressing Physical Inactivity and Sedentary Behaviour in People with Asthma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54427 Tue 27 Feb 2024 13:53:28 AEDT ]]> Children With Asthma Have Impaired Innate Immunity and Increased Numbers of Type 2 Innate Lymphoid Cells Compared With Healthy Controls https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:39820 Tue 26 Jul 2022 11:33:21 AEST ]]> Heterogeneity of paucigranulocytic asthma: a prospective cohort study with hierarchical cluster analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:46337 P = .01), emergency visit (RR = 8.61, P = .03), and hospitalization (RR = 12.94, P < .01).

We identified one ongoing study and three studies awaiting classification. One study was synthesised narratively, and another involved participants specifically with asthma‐COPD overlap. Most programmes were outpatient‐based, lasting from three to four weeks (inpatient) or eight to 12 weeks (outpatient). Education or self‐management components included breathing retraining and relaxation, nutritional advice and psychological counselling. One programme was specifically tailored for people with severe asthma. Pulmonary rehabilitation compared to usual care may increase maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) after programme completion, but the evidence is very uncertain for data derived using mL/kg/min (MD between groups of 3.63 mL/kg/min, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.48 to 5.77; 3 studies; n = 129) and uncertain for data derived from % predicted VO2 max (MD 14.88%, 95% CI 9.66 to 20.1%; 2 studies; n = 60). The evidence is very uncertain about the effects of pulmonary rehabilitation compared to usual care on incremental shuttle walk test distance (MD between groups 74.0 metres, 95% CI 26.4 to 121.4; 1 study; n = 30). Pulmonary rehabilitation may have little to no effect on VO2 max at longer‐term follow up (9 to 12 months), but the evidence is very uncertain (MD −0.69 mL/kg/min, 95% CI −4.79 to 3.42; I2 = 49%; 3 studies; n = 66). Pulmonary rehabilitation likely improves functional exercise capacity as measured by 6‐minute walk distance, with MD between groups after programme completion of 79.8 metres (95% CI 66.5 to 93.1; 5 studies; n = 529; moderate certainty evidence). This magnitude of mean change exceeds the minimally clinically important difference (MCID) threshold for people with chronic respiratory disease. The evidence is very uncertain about the longer‐term effects one year after pulmonary rehabilitation for this outcome (MD 52.29 metres, 95% CI 0.7 to 103.88; 2 studies; n = 42). Pulmonary rehabilitation may result in a small improvement in asthma control compared to usual care as measured by Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ), with an MD between groups of −0.46 (95% CI −0.76 to −0.17; 2 studies; n = 93; low certainty evidence); however, data derived from the Asthma Control Test were very uncertain (MD between groups 3.34, 95% CI −2.32 to 9.01; 2 studies; n = 442). The ACQ finding approximates the MCID of 0.5 points. Pulmonary rehabilitation results in little to no difference in asthma control as measured by ACQ at nine to 12 months follow‐up (MD 0.09, 95% CI −0.35 to 0.53; 2 studies; n = 48; low certainty evidence). Pulmonary rehabilitation likely results in a large improvement in quality of life as assessed by the St George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) total score (MD −18.51, 95% CI −20.77 to −16.25; 2 studies; n = 440; moderate certainty evidence), with this magnitude of change exceeding the MCID. However, pulmonary rehabilitation may have little to no effect on Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ) total scores, with the evidence being very uncertain (MD 0.87, 95% CI −0.13 to 1.86; 2 studies; n = 442). Longer‐term follow‐up data suggested improvements in quality of life may occur as measured by SGRQ (MD −13.4, 95% CI −15.93 to −10.88; 2 studies; n = 430) but not AQLQ (MD 0.58, 95% CI −0.23 to 1.38; 2 studies; n = 435); however, the evidence is very uncertain. One study reported no difference between groups in the proportion of participants who experienced an asthma exacerbation during the intervention period. Data from one study suggest adverse events attributable to the intervention are rare. Overall risk of bias was most commonly impacted by performance bias attributed to a lack of participant blinding to knowledge of the intervention. This is inherently challenging to overcome in rehabilitation studies. Authors' conclusions: Moderate certainty evidence shows that pulmonary rehabilitation is probably associated with clinically meaningful improvements in functional exercise capacity and quality of life upon programme completion in adults with asthma. The certainty of evidence relating to maximal exercise capacity was very low to low. Pulmonary rehabilitation appears to confer minimal effect on asthma control, although the certainty of evidence is very low to low. Unclear reporting of study methods and small sample sizes limits our certainty in the overall body of evidence, whilst heterogenous study designs and interventions likely contribute to inconsistent findings across clinical outcomes and studies. There remains considerable scope for future research.]]> Mon 30 Oct 2023 10:01:13 AEDT ]]> Interaction effect of chronic cough and ageing on increased risk of exacerbation in patients with asthma: a prospective cohort study in a real-world setting https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54966 Mon 25 Mar 2024 12:11:04 AEDT ]]> Predicting Pulmonary Function From the Analysis of Voice: A Machine Learning Approach https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:44823 Mon 24 Oct 2022 09:45:54 AEDT ]]> An altered sputum macrophage transcriptome contributes to the neutrophilic asthma endotype https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:44806 Mon 24 Oct 2022 09:31:26 AEDT ]]> Identifying the asthma research priorities of people with asthma, their carers and other stakeholders https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53946 Mon 22 Jan 2024 16:57:57 AEDT ]]> Impact of Landscape Fire Smoke Exposure on Patients With Asthma With or Without Laryngeal Hypersensitivity https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53947 Mon 22 Jan 2024 16:56:55 AEDT ]]> Maternal asthma in Australian indigenous women and perinatal outcomes: A whole population–linked study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:50309 Mon 17 Jul 2023 15:17:07 AEST ]]> Laryngeal hypersensitivity and abnormal cough response during mannitol bronchoprovocation challenge https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:47390 Mon 16 Jan 2023 15:52:37 AEDT ]]> "It's like being on a roller coaster": the burden of caring for people with severe asthma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:46274 Mon 14 Nov 2022 15:28:10 AEDT ]]> Hemopexin: a novel anti-inflammatory marker for distinguishing COPD from asthma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:46232 Mon 14 Nov 2022 12:33:10 AEDT ]]> Asthma and Three Colinear Comorbidities: Obesity, OSA, and GERD https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:46219 Mon 14 Nov 2022 12:04:55 AEDT ]]> Asthma and Comorbid Conditions—Pulmonary Comorbidity https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:46221 Mon 14 Nov 2022 12:04:52 AEDT ]]> Risk factors for asthma exacerbations during pregnancy: a systematic review and meta-analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:50981 Mon 14 Aug 2023 15:39:12 AEST ]]> Defining Asthma–Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Overlap https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:52317 Mon 09 Oct 2023 10:23:55 AEDT ]]> Aberrant methylation of aging-related genes in asthma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:40279 Mon 08 Aug 2022 11:55:28 AEST ]]> Ventilation heterogeneity is a treatable trait in severe asthma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:55058 Mon 08 Apr 2024 09:43:57 AEST ]]> Effect of obesity on airway and systemic inflammation in adults with asthma: a systematic review and meta-analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53538 Mon 04 Dec 2023 15:44:36 AEDT ]]> Health risks from indoor gas appliances https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:52803 Fri 27 Oct 2023 14:06:21 AEDT ]]> Type 2 Immunity and Its Impact on COVID-19 Infection in the Airways https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51945 Fri 22 Sep 2023 16:57:22 AEST ]]> Vocal cord dysfunction/inducible laryngeal obstruction—2022 Melbourne Roundtable Report https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51908 50%.

Design Databases including CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature), Cochrane, Embase and MEDLINE were searched up to July 2019 for English-language studies that recorded medication use or dose in obese and healthy-weight adults with asthma. A critical appraisal checklist was utilised for scrutinising methodological quality of eligible studies. Meta-analysis was performed and heterogeneity was examined with the use of the Chi-squared test. This review was conducted based on a published protocol (www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO CRD42020148671). Results Meta-analysis showed that obese subjects are more likely to use asthma medications, including short-acting β2-agonists (OR 1.75, 95% CI 1.17–2.60; p=0.006, I2=41%) and maintenance oral corticosteroids (OR 1.86, 95% CI 1.49–2.31; p<0.001, I2=0%) compared to healthy-weight subjects.

Forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) % predicted was significantly lower in obese subjects (mean difference −5.32%, 95% CI −6.75–−3.89; p<0.001, I2=42%); however, no significant differences were observed in FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio between groups. Conclusions We found that obese subjects with asthma have higher use of all included asthma medication classes and higher ICS doses than healthy-weight asthma subjects, despite lower FEV1 and a similar FEV1/FVC %. A better understanding of the factors driving increased medication use is required to improve outcomes in this subgroup of asthmatics.]]> Fri 11 Nov 2022 15:35:55 AEDT ]]> Clinical Phenotypes of Patients Hospitalized for an Asthma Exacerbation: Prognostic Implications https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:46081 adj], 18.10 and 19.17, respectively) and mechanical ventilation (RRadj , 2.56 and 5.71, respectively) than did cluster 1. Individuals in cluster 3 had an extended length of hospital stay (11 days), increased hospitalization direct costs (13,481.57 Chinese Yuan), and a higher risk of ICU admission (RRadj , 2.14) than individuals in clusters 1 and 2. The decision tree assigned 90.8% of the participants correctly. Conclusions: We identified 3 phenotypes with differential clinical and inflammatory characteristics associated with in-hospital adverse outcomes. These new phenotypes might have important and clinically relevant implications for the management of patients hospitalized for AEs.]]> Fri 11 Nov 2022 15:15:03 AEDT ]]> Factors associated with nonadherence to inhaled corticosteroids for asthma during pregnancy https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:46047 Fri 11 Nov 2022 14:11:12 AEDT ]]> Mechanical forces suppress antiviral innate immune responses from asthmatic airway epithelial cells following rhinovirus infection https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51239 Fri 10 Nov 2023 07:15:55 AEDT ]]> A randomized, cross-over study comparing critical and overall errors, learning time, and preference of the ELLIPTA versus BREEZHALER dry powder inhalers in patients with asthma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54653 Fri 08 Mar 2024 09:54:06 AEDT ]]> Eosinophils and COVID-19: diagnosis, prognosis, and vaccination strategies https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:40363 Fri 08 Jul 2022 14:24:38 AEST ]]> Longitudinal Changes in Upper and Lower Airway Function in Pregnancy https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:50204 Fri 07 Jul 2023 10:17:32 AEST ]]> Family planning, pregnancy and birth in women with lung conditions: a worldwide survey https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:49200 Fri 05 May 2023 15:58:22 AEST ]]> Characterization and inhibition of inflammasome responses in severe and non-severe asthma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:55056 Fri 05 Apr 2024 14:28:53 AEDT ]]>
