DrepaSympa: Autonomic Nervous System and Sickle Cell Disease
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Sickle cell disease (SCD) children and adults with asthma have an increased rate of vaso-occlusive crisis, acute chest syndrome episodes, and premature mortality when compared to those without asthma. We hypothesised that either asthma diagnosis and/or bronchodilator treatment may aggravate SCD via their modulating effect on autonomic nervous system.

Detailed Description
Heart rate variability during pulmonary function tests (spirometry, static volumes, DLCO/DLNO, exhaled NO at multiple flow rates) including salbutamol administration will be evaluated in patients with SCD (n=60) receiving asthma treatment or not, as compared to asthmatic children without SCD (n=30) matched for ethnicity

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- To assess the effect of salbutamol administration on ANS in these SCD children (with and without asthma) and in control asthmatics (without SCD) [cross-sectional, one hour]
heart rate variability after salbutamol administration
Secondary Outcome Measures
- To assess ANS functions in patients with SCD receiving asthma treatment or not, as compared to asthmatic children without SCD matched for ethnicity [cross-sectional, one hour]
baseline heart rate variability
