Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the role of reversibility test in differentiation of the asthma severity in children. Subject and method: A descriptive study included 156 patients from 2 to 5 years old with diagnosis of asthma by GINA 2016 were treated and followed up in the National Children Hospital from September 2016 to August 2017, using spirometry and reversibility test to assess the lung functions. Result: There were 40.4% of subjects with normal lung functions, 31.4% mild, 14.1% morderate, 10.2% servere, 3.9% very servere. IgE and eosinophil in children with positive reversibility test were higher than those in negative group (p<0.05). The classification of asthma severity by IOS showed that the more severe asthma patients had, the stronger positive the tests were (p<0.05). Conclusion: Reversibility test IOS could differentiate the asthma severity in children. Reversibility test directly related to the increase of IgE, eosinophils, and the asthma severity.
