IV Brazilian Consensus on Rhinitis - an update on allergic rhinitis,

Abstract Introduction The guidelines on allergic rhinitis aim to update knowledge about the disease and care for affected patients. The initiative called "Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma", initially published in 2001 and updated in 2008 and 2010, has been very successful in disseminating information and evidence, as well as providing a classification of severity and proposing a systemized treatment protocol. In order to include the participation of other medical professionals in the treatment of allergic rhinitis, it is important to develop algorithms that accurately indicate what should and can be done regionally. Objective To update the III Brazilian Consensus on Rhinitis - 2012, with the creation of an algorithm for allergic rhinitis management. Methods We invited 24 experts nominated by the Brazilian Association of Allergy and Immunology, Brazilian Association of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery and Brazilian Society of Pediatrics to update the 2012 document. Results The update of the last Brazilian Consensus on Rhinitis incorporated and adapted the relevant information published in all "Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma" Initiative documents to the Brazilian scenario, bringing new concepts such as local allergic rhinitis, new drugs and treatment evaluation methods. Conclusion A flowchart for allergic rhinitis treatment has been proposed

Avaliação do programa de atenção a crianças asmáticas acompanhadas nas unidades de saúde do Município do Embu, São Paulo, no período de 1988 a 1993 Evaluation of a program for asthmatic children treated in primary care outpatient units in Embu, São Paulo, 1988-1993

Com o objetivo de avaliar o desempenho do Programa de Atenção a Crianças Portadoras de "Chiado no Peito", no Município de Embu, São Paulo, foram estudadas 434 crianças e adolescentes de zero a 14 anos, admitidas no programa de maio/88 a julho/93. Mais de 90% desses pacientes nunca haviam sido acompanhados por esse motivo em serviço médico. Apenas 6,2% foram encaminhados a outros serviços de referência durante o acompanhamento no programa. Segundo critérios clínicos, os pacientes foram classificados em: bebê chiador (21,8%), asmáticos leves (41,7%), asmáticos moderados (28,3%), asmáticos graves (7,6%) e outros (0,4%). Ao se analisar o comportamento dos asmáticos moderados e graves acompanhados por mais de um ano, observou-se melhora clínica nesses dois grupos, e o que influenciou positivamente esse fato foi a maior aderência ao uso da medicação. O número de exacerbações decresceu entre os asmáticos graves, após um ano de acompanhamento regular, embora durante os 12 meses analisados tenha havido um consumo praticamente constante de medicação broncodilatadora. O abandono ocorreu em 53,2% das crianças matriculadas, principalmente nos primeiros seis meses de acompanhamento, sendo significantemente mais freqüente entre os asmáticos moderados. Concluímos que as crianças com maior aderência ao programa se beneficiaram do mesmo, apesar das dificuldades e da falta de alguns recursos medicamentosos atualmente existentes.<br>The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Program Targeting Children with "Chest Wheezing" carried in the city of Embu, São Paulo. The study analyzed a total of 434 children aged zero to 14 years, admitted to the program from May 1988 to July 1993. Over 90% had never been treated for this medical problem in outpatient clinics. Only 6.2% had to be referred to other health care services during follow-up in this program. The program successfully performed clinical diagnosis of asthma in children over 2 years of age. The moderate and severe cases followed up for over a year showed the best clinical evolution, with the positive factor being better compliance with medication. The number of exacerbations decreased among the severe patients after a year of regular follow-up, although patients used bronchodilators during the 12 months of our analysis. Of the children enrolled, 53.2% gave up treatment principally in the first sit months, most of them from the moderate group. We concluded that children with steadier compliance with the program benefited in spite of both the simplicity and the lack of some currently existing medications
