Abstract

Controlled asthma is the goal of asthma management. Blood eosinophils are known to be an indirect marker of airway inflammation, it reflects asthmatic activity, but association with asthma control not clearly understood. This study aims to investigate the association between blood absolute eosinophil count with the degree of controlled asthma. An analysis observasional cross sectional study in 49 subject obtained through out a consecutive sampling. The subject was examined physically, fill in ACT queistionnaire, and followed PEFR test and blood test. The result were analysed using one way annova and unpaired T test. The 49 subjects were divided into three group based on ACT, 17 patients with uncontrolled, 16 not well controlled, 16 controlled and into two group based on PEFR, 38 with uncontrolled and 11 controlled. Mean differences absolute eosinophil count between groups based on ACT is controlled vs not well controlled 212,6 (14,2-411,1: p 0,003), controlled vs uncontrolled 373,9 (178,5-569,4: p <0,001), not well controlled vs uncontrolled 161,3 (34,2-356,8: p 0,104). Mean differences absolute eosinophil count between groups based on PEFR is controlled vs uncontrolled 419,8 (289,9-548,4: p <0,001). There were significant differences in blood absolute eosinophil count between asthma control groups, better asthma control result in lower blood absolute eosinophil count.
