METHOD OF PREDICTING UNCONTROLLED COURSE OF SEVERE BRONCHIAL ASTHMA Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC A61B5/87 A61B5/91 A61B5/97 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely to pulmonology, therapy and allergology and can be used for predicting risk of development of uncontrolled course of severe bronchial asthma (BA). For this purpose, parameters of respiratory function: PEF, FVCL, MVR25, MVR50, MVR75, FEV1 and FEV1 after the test with salbutamol are determined and ΔFEV1 is calculated. Value of ACT-test and indices of gas concentration in exhaled air CO, NO, NO₂ are also taken into account. After that, indices of probability of referring patient to group with high (R1) and low risk (R2) of development of uncontrolled course of severe BA are calculated by certain mathematical formulas. If R1 > R2, high risk of development is predicted, if R1 < R2, low risk of development of uncontrolled course of said disease is predicted.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to predict probability of development of uncontrolled BA course in response to basic therapy and in this way provides possibility to elaborate optimal plan for management of each patient.
