Basal metabolic rate in bronchial asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients
چکیده انگلیسی

Patients with COPD and bronchial asthma have been reported to have an increase in the energy cost of breathing which is reflected by changes in their basal metabolic rates (BMR).AimTo assess the changes that may occur in basal metabolic rates in patients with bronchial asthma and those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.Patients and methodsWe used indirect calorimetry using oro-nasal mask to assess the BMR in 35 patients with COPD, 20 patients with bronchial asthma and 10 healthy volunteers (control group).ResultsThere was marked increase in basal metabolic rates in patients with COPD compared to patients with bronchial asthma (p value ⩽0.001) and to the control group (p value ⩽0.001), also between asthmatic patients and control group (p value ⩽0.05). The BMR also showed a highly significant negative correlation (p value ⩽0.001) with the level of hypoxemia and pulmonary functions (the severity of the disease) in both COPD and asthmatic patients.ConclusionPatients with COPD and bronchial asthma have increased metabolic rates. These increased rates are directly correlated to the severity of the diseases and the impairment in the respiratory function.
