What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Interleukin 4

    The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the different inflammatory characteristics between asthmatic patients with or without primary arterial hypertension.

    Measured: at baseline and after 4 years

  2. Interleukin 5

    The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the different inflammatory characteristics between asthmatic patients with or without primary arterial hypertension.

    Measured: at baseline and after 4 years

  3. Interleukin 13

    The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the different inflammatory characteristics between asthmatic patients with or without primary arterial hypertension.

    Measured: at baseline and after 4 years

  4. FEV1

    Forced expiratory volume per second

    Measured: at baseline and after 4 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Asthma Control Questionnaire 5 (ACQ-5)

    questionnaire

    Measured: at baseline and after 4 years

  2. Asthma Control Questionnaire 6 (ACQ-6)

    questionnaire

    Measured: at baseline and after 4 years

What does the primary outcome measure?

Interleukin 4 (time frame: at baseline and after 4 years). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
