Correlation between work impairment, scores of rhinitis severity and asthma usi...
Bédard, Annabelle; Antó, Josep M.; Fonseca, Joao A.; Arnavielhe, Sylvie; Bachert, Claus; Bedbrook, Anna; Bindslev-Jensen, Carsten; Malva, J.Background In allergic rhinitis, a relevant outcome providing information on the effectiveness of interventions is needed. In MASK-air (Mobile Airways Sentinel Network), a visual analogue scale (VAS) for work is used as a relevant outcome. This study aimed to assess the performance of the work VAS work by comparing VAS work with other VAS measurements and symptom-medication scores obtained concurrently. Methods...
Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) Phase 4 (2018): Change manage...
Bousquet, Jean; Bindslev-Jensen, Carsten; Baiardini, I.; Braido, F.; Bachert, C.; Mota-Pinto, A.Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) has evolved from a guideline by using the best approach to integrated care pathways using mobile technology in patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma multimorbidity. The proposed next phase of ARIA is change management, with the aim of providing an active and healthy life to patients with rhinitis and to those with asthma multimorbidity across the lifec...
Adherence to treatment in allergic rhinitis using mobile technology. The MASK S...
Menditto, Enrica; Costa, Elisio; Midão, Luis; Bosnic-Anticevich, Sinthia; Novellino, Ettore; Bialek, Slawomir; Briedis, Vitalis; Mota-Pinto, A.Background: Mobile technology may help to better understand the adherence to treatment MASK-rhinitis (Mobile Airways Sentinel NetworK for allergic rhinitis) is a patient -centered ICT system. A mobile phone app (the Allergy Diary) central to MASK is available in 22 countries. Objectives: To assess the adherence to treatment in allergic rhinitis patients using the Allergy Diary App. Methods: An observational cro...
Geolocation with respect to personal privacy for the Allergy Diary app - a MASK...
Samreth, D.; Arnavielle, S.; Ingenrieth, F.; Bedbrook, A.; Onorato, G. L.; Murray, R.; Almeida, R.; Mizani, M. A.; Fonseca, J.; Costa, E.; Malva, JoãoBackground Collecting data on the localization of users is a key issue for the MASK (Mobile Airways Sentinel networK: the Allergy Diary) App. Data anonymization is a method of sanitization for privacy. The European Commission’s Article 29 Working Party stated that geolocation information is personal data. To assess geolocation using the MASK method and to compare two anonymization methods in the MASK database t...
Dietary Patterns and Their Socioeconomic and Behavioral Determinants in 6- to 8...
Rodrigues, D.; Muc, M.; Rodrigues, P. R. M.; Mota-Pinto, A.; Padez, C.Adherence to a healthier diet is declining, with children consuming more saturated fats and simple carbohydrates. Factors influencing this choice were studied using a cross-sectional study with children (6 to 8 years old) living in Coimbra. Socioeconomic and behavioral factors were obtained from the parents. Dietary patterns of 1,063 children were identified: Mediterranean (MedDiet), saturated fats (SFatDiet), ...
Epidemiologia da asma e rinossinusite no Centro de Portugal. Contributo da alergia
Todo-Bom, A.; Loureiro, C.; Rodrigues, V.; Burney, P.; Mota-Pinto, A.A asma constitui um importante problema de saúde com prevalência crescente afectando indivíduos de todos os grupos etários. Os objectivos deste trabalho foram a caracterização e determinação da prevalência da asma numa população adulta em Portugal, a prevalência de patologia associada e a avaliação da prevalência de sensibilização alergénica nos doentes identificados. Entre 2009 e 2010, em Coimbra, 2200 indivíd...
Valores de resistina, adiponectina e leptina em doentes com asma e excesso de peso
Loureiro, C.; Mota-Pinto, A.; Muc, M.; Vale Pereira, S.; Ângelo, F.; Todo-Bom, A.Nos últimos anos, tem -se assistido a um aumento da prevalência de asma e obesidade. A asma é uma doença inflamatória crónica das vias aéreas. A obesidade corresponde a um desequilíbrio entre a energia ingerida e a despendida, que resulta em excesso de gordura corporal e em doença. O excesso de peso e a obesidade aumentam o risco de desenvolvimento de asma. Apesar do conhecimento desta associação entre asma e o...
Aging and asthma - changes in CD45RA, CD29 and CD95 T cells subsets
Todo-Bom, A.; Mota-Pinto, A.; Alves, V.; Santos-Rosa, M.Background: Aging is associated with thymus involution leading to a reduction in naive T cells and to an accumulation of effector-memory cells. Apoptosis is a key mechanism to clear the immune system from activated and harmful cells. In asthma the stimulation of T cells by environmental antigens can decrease naive cells and sustain activated cells. The aim of this work was to evaluate the imbalance between CD45...
Recommendations for assessing patient-reported outcomes and health-related qual...
Baiardini, I.; Braido, F.; Bindslev-Jensen, C.; Bousquet, P. J.; Brzoza, Z.; Canonica, G. W.; Compalati, E.; Fiocchi, A.; Fokkens, W.The aim of this Global Allergy and Asthma European Network (GA2LEN) consensus report is to provide recommendations and suggestions for assessing patient-reported outcomes (PROs) including health-related quality of life in patients with urticaria. We recommend that PROs should be used both in clinical trials and routine practice for the evaluation of urticaria patients. We suggest that PROs should be considered ...
A socio-demographic study of aging in the Portuguese Population - The EPEPP study
Mota-Pinto, A.; Rodrigues, Vítor; Botelho, Amália; Veríssimo, Manuel Teixeira; Morais, António; Alves, Catarina; Rosa, Manuel SantosThe increase in life expectancy (LE) observed in Western societies, has resulted in a steep rise of older population. This stresses the importance of the research on aging, to better adequate health and social care organization and improve the quality of life (QoL). The aim of the EPEPP-1 (abbreviated from the Portuguese name: Estudo do Perfil de Envelhecimento da Populac¸a˜o Portuguesa) study was to characteri...
