Abstract

This study was conducted to compare the effectiveness of the leukotriene receptor antagonist and inhaled corticosteroid treatment in children diagnosed with asthma. Material and Methods: Sixty - two patients diagnosed with asthma in the age group of 6-14 years were included in the study. Patients were consecutively divided into 2 groups, and the first group was given 5 mg of montelukast before sleep and the second group received 400 mcg/day of inhaled corticosteroid budesonide in two doses. The patients were followed up for 6 months. Primary target were changes in the FEV1. Furthermore, daily short-acting β2 agonist use, night awakenings, admission to the emergency department, absenteeism at school were compared before and after the treatment. Results: Significant improvement was observed in both groups during postoperative period when compared to the pre-treatment period in terms of the mean FEV1, shortacting β2 agonist use, night awakenings, admission to the emergency department, and absenteeism at school p=0,001 . However, no statistical difference was determined between two groups.Conclusion: It was determined that montelukast therapy alone in children with asthma is an easy-to-administer and safe option, which is as effective as inhaled corticosteroids

Özet

Amaç: Çocukluk çağı astım tedavisinde lökotrien antagonisti ile inhale kortikosteroidler kullanılmaktadır. Çalışma, astım tanısı almış çocuklarda lökotrien reseptör antagonisti ile inhale kortikosteroid tedavisinin etkinliğini karşılaştırmak için yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 6-14 yaş grubunda astım tanısı alan 62 hasta dâhil edildi. Hastalar ardışık iki gruba ayrılarak birinci gruba montelukast gece yatmadan önce 5 mg, ikinci gruba inhale kortikosteroid budesonide 400 mcg/gün 2 doza bölünerek verildi. Hastalar 6 ay süreyle takip edildi. Değerlendirmede FEV1’deki değişiklikler birincil hedef alındı. Ayrıca tedavi öncesi ve sonrası günlük kısa etkili β2 agonist kullanımı, gece uyanma, acile başvuru, okula devamsızlık değerleri ile karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Tedavi sonrasında, tedavi öncesine göre her iki grupta; FEV1 ortalamasında, kısa etkili β2 agonist kullanımı, gece uyanma, acile başvuru ve okula devamsızlık açısından ileri düzeyde düzelme görüldü p=0,001 . Ancak, iki grup arasında istatistiki fark saptanmadı.Sonuç: Astımlı çocuklarda tek başına monlelukast tedavisi; kolay uygulanabilir, güvenilir ve inhale kortikosteroidler kadar etkili bir seçenek olarak saptanmıştır
