| Popis: | Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the asthma control in multimorbid patients to personalize asthma treatment. Methods and Results: The study involved 237 asthma patients (51 men and 186 women) aged 18 to 78 years (mean age of 52.6±1.3 years). All patients were divided into 3 groups: Group 1 included 59(24.9%) patients with normal body weight (NVW), Group 2 included 69(29.1%) overweight patients, and Group 3 had 109(46.0%) obese patients. The mean BMI was of 23.14±2.84 kg/m2, 27.60±2.58 kg/m2, and 35.82±10.23 kg/m2 in Groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively (F=65.572, P=0.0000). Research methods included numerical rating scale (NRS) for a qualitative assessment of the severity of asthma clinical symptoms, asthma control questionnaire (ACQ-5) to assess asthma control, asthma quality of life questionnaire (AQLQ). Comorbidities were analyzed according to medical records. The mean number of comorbidities among all studied patients was 4.31±0.27: 55(23.2%) people had ≤2 comorbidities, 118(49.8%) people had 3-5 comorbidities, and 64(27.0%) people had ≥6 comorbidities. The Group 3 patients had significantly more comorbidities than patients of Groups 1 and 2 (P=0.000). The mean value of the ACQ-5 results was 0.97±0.32, 1.06±0.53, and 1.82±0.55 in Groups 1, 2, and 3, respectively (F=77.1896, P=0.0000). The level of AC, according to the ACQ-5, had a positive correlation with the number of comorbidities (r=0.5418, P |
