Fibromyalgia in Iraqi patients with asthma and its impact on asthma severity and control.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Fibromyalgia (FM) is common with significant impact on patients quality of life. Limited reports on coexistence of FM with asthma.

Objectives

To assess the prevalence of FM in asthmatic patients and its impact on asthma severity and control.

Patients and methods

This case-control study included 103 patients with asthma and 102 apparently healthy controls matched in age and sex. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of FM and controls were recorded. FM was diagnosed according to the 2016 revision of American College of Rheumatology criteria. Asthma diagnosis and severity were performed by the pulmonologist according to Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) guidelines and asthma control was assessed by Asthma Control Test (ACT) score.

Results

The mean age of asthmatic patients was 41.1 ± 12.7 years and for controls was 39.8 ± 12 years (p = 0.453). Females were more prevalent in asthmatic patients and controls although statistically were not significant (p-value = 0.532). Prevalence of FM was significantly more in asthmatic patients compared to controls [18 (17.6%) vs 7 (6.8%), p = 0.018] and asthmatic patients had three folds risk of having FM (ranging from 1.2 to 7.4 times. FM increased the risk of severe asthma by 4.91 folds (P < 0.005). Also, only FMS and glucocorticoids were significant independent predictor of having poor asthma control. FM was significantly and negatively correlated with low ACT score (β standardized regression coefficient = -0.291, p = 0.005).

Conclusions

fibromyalgia was common in asthmatic patients and was significantly associated with more severe and poorly controlled asthma.

Project description:ObjectiveGrowing evidence suggests asthma increases perinatal mental illness risk, but few studies have explored the impact of asthma severity and control. Our objective was to explore the association between asthma severity and control and perinatal mental illness risk and the impact of asthma exacerbations during pregnancy on postpartum mental illness risk.MethodsThis was a population-based retrospective cohort study of all women in Ontario, Canada, from 2005 to 2015 with a singleton live birth who used public drug insurance, excluding women with recent history of mental illness. We constructed modified Poisson regression models to assess the risk of perinatal mental illness, defined as a mood or anxiety, psychotic or substance use disorder, self-harm or other mental illness diagnosed from conception to 365 days postnatally. Models controlled for socio-demographic factors and medical history.ResultsThere were 62,583 women in the cohort (46.7% between 15 - 24 years), of whom 22.7% had asthma (94.3% mild, 5.7% moderate/severe; 86.5% controlled and 13.5% uncontrolled). After adjustment, there was increased risk of perinatal mental illness with mild asthma (adjusted relative risk [RR]: 1.12; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.09 to 1.16) and moderate/severe asthma (aRR: 1.16; 95% CI, 1.04 to 1.30) compared to no asthma. Controlled asthma (aRR: 1.11; 95% CI, 1.08 to 1.15) and uncontrolled asthma (aRR: 1.19; 95% CI, 1.11 to 1.27) were also associated with increased perinatal mental illness risk compared to no asthma. Women with worsened asthma during pregnancy had the highest risk of postpartum mental illness compared to no change in asthma status (by severity: aRR: 1.57; 95% CI, 1.36 to 1.80; by control: aRR: 1.37; 95% CI, 1.22 to 1.54).ConclusionAsthma is associated with increased risk of perinatal mental illness, particularly in the presence of asthma exacerbations in pregnancy. The results support multidisciplinary collaborative care programmes throughout the perinatal period, especially among women with asthma exacerbations during pregnancy.
