T1 |
0-176 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Salmeterol plus fluticasone propionate versus fluticasone propionate plus montelukast: a randomised controlled trial investigating the effects on airway inflammation in asthma. |
T2 |
177-188 |
Sentence |
denotes |
BACKGROUND: |
T3 |
189-400 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Few studies have compared treatment strategies in patients with asthma poorly controlled on low dose inhaled corticosteroids, and little is known about the effects of different treatments on airway inflammation. |
T4 |
401-686 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In this double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study, we compared the effects of salmeterol plus fluticasone propionate (FP) (Seretide; SFC) and FP plus montelukast (FP/M) on sputum inflammatory markers, airway responsiveness, lung function, and symptoms in adult asthmatics. |
T5 |
687-695 |
Sentence |
denotes |
METHODS: |
T6 |
696-759 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Sixty-six subjects were randomised to SFC or FP/M for 12 weeks. |
T7 |
760-888 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The primary outcome was changes in neutrophil, eosinophil, macrophage, lymphocyte, and epithelial cell levels in induced sputum. |
T8 |
889-1035 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Additional outcomes included the change in other sputum markers of airway inflammation, airway responsiveness, symptom control, and lung function. |
T9 |
1036-1044 |
Sentence |
denotes |
RESULTS: |
T10 |
1045-1190 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Both treatments had no significant effect on induced sputum inflammatory cells, although there was a trend for a reduction in sputum eosinophils. |
T11 |
1191-1350 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Both treatments significantly improved airway responsiveness, whereas SFC generally led to greater improvements in symptom control and lung function than FP/M. |
T12 |
1351-1480 |
Sentence |
denotes |
FP/M led to significantly greater reductions in sputum cysteinyl leukotrienes than SFC (treatment ratio 1.80; 95% CI 1.09, 2.94). |
T13 |
1481-1492 |
Sentence |
denotes |
CONCLUSION: |
T14 |
1493-1623 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Both treatments led to similar control of eosinophilic airway inflammation, although PEF and symptom control were better with SFC. |
T15 |
1624-1655 |
Sentence |
denotes |
STUDY NUMBER: SAM40030 (SOLTA). |
