BACKGROUND: Severe asthma places a large burden on patients and society. The characteristics of patients with severe asthma in the Chinese population remain unclear.
METHODS: A retrospective review was conducted in patients with severe asthma. Demographic and clinical data were collected. Patients were grouped according to phenotypes in terms of exacerbations, body mass index (BMI) and fixed airway obstruction (FAO) status, and the characteristics of different groups were compared. Comorbidities, factors that influence asthma phenotypes, were also analyzed in the study.
RESULTS: A total of 228 patients with severe asthma were included in our study. They were more likely to be overweight or obese. A total of 41.7% of the patients received GINA step 5 therapy, and 43.4% had a history of receiving regular or intermittent oral corticosteroids (OCS). Severe asthmatic patients with comorbidities were prone to have more asthma symptoms and decreased quality of life than patients without comorbidities. Patients with exacerbations were characterized by longer duration of asthma, poorer lung function, and worse asthma control. Overweight or obese patients tended to have more asthma symptoms, poorer lung function and more asthma-related comorbidities. Compared to patients without FAO, those in the FAO group were older, with longer duration of asthma and more exacerbations.
CONCLUSION: The existence of comorbidities in patients with severe asthma could result in more asthma symptoms and decreased quality of life. Patients with exacerbations or with overweight or obese phenotypes were characterized by poorer lung function and worse asthma control. Patients with FAO phenotype tended to have more exacerbations.
