TAGLIA-FERRE, Karla Delevedove et al. Is there an association between the forced expiratory volume value in the first second and the Asthma Control Test and the degree of control proposed by the Global initiative for Asthma in asthmatic children and adolescents treated with inhaled corticosteroids?. J. Hum. Growth Dev. [online]. 2019, vol.29, n.3, pp.346-353. ISSN 0104-1282.  https://doi.org/10.7322/jhgd.v29.9530.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the presence of an association between the classification of the degree of asthma control, using the proposal by the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA), the AsthmaControl Test (ACT)/Childhood-ACT, and forced expiratory volume at 1 second (FEV1), in asthmatic children and adolescents undergoing treatment with inhaled corticosteroids, treated at the National Institute of Women's, Child and Adolescent Health Fernandes Figueira of the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (IFF/FIOCRUZ) METHODS: Cross-sectional study, with review of medical records of all children aged 7 to 17 years, followed at the Asthma Outpatient Clinic and referred to the Respiratory Function Test (PFR) sector between March 2013 and September 2014. At the same day the C-ACT/ACT questionnaires, the classification of the degree of asthma control proposed by the GINA were applied and the FEV1 value obtained by spirometric examination. RESULTS: From the total of medical records evaluated (72), 16 children were excluded because they did not meet the criteria required for spirometry. The sample studied (56 children) showed a predominance of males (58.9%) and a median age of 12 (7-17) years. Association between FEV1 values and GINA was observed (p <0.01_. CONCLUSION: The results found in this study indicate that FEV1 measurement is a useful component among the instruments for assessing clinical control of asthma by GINA.
