  • transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation after thoracotomy pain relief and peak Expiratory Flow Rate a trial of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation
    Anaesthesia, 2007
    Co-Authors: J F Stubbing, J A Jellicoe
    Abstract:

    Summary Forty patients scheduled to undergo thoracotomy were randomly allocated to receive either transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation with intramuscular papaveretum (20 patients) or intramuscular papaveretum alone (20 patients) for postoperative pain relief. Total intramuscular analgesic requirements in the first 24 hours, time to satisfactory transfer to oral analgesia, antiemetic requirements and length of stay in hospital postoperatively were noted. Peak Expiratory Flow Rate was compared pre-and postoperatively in the two groups. Use of nerve stimulation did not significantly alter the requirements for analgesia although there was a reduction in postoperative nausea and vomiting in the nerve stimulation group. There was no difference between the two groups with respect to changes in peak Expiratory Flow Rate.

  • peak Expiratory Flow Rate relationship to risk variables and mortality the wisconsin epidemiologic study of diabetic retinopathy
    Diabetes Care, 2001
    Co-Authors: Barbara E K Klein, Scot E Moss, Ronald Klein, Karen J Cruickshanks
    Abstract:

    OBJECTIVE —To examine correlates of peak Expiratory Flow Rate in people with type 1 diabetes and to evaluate the relationship of peak Expiratory Flow Rate to mortality. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS —A cohort study that was originally designed to determine the prevalence, incidence, and severity of diabetic retinopathy also provided the opportunity to measure peak Expiratory Flow Rate. This was first measured at a 10-year follow-up and was evaluated in regard to risk factors for microvascular complications of diabetes. Mortality during 6 years of follow-up after the measurement was also ascertained. RESULTS —In multivariable analysis, peak Expiratory Flow Rate was associated with sex, age, height, BMI, history of cardiovascular disease, pulse Rate, duration of diabetes, glycosylated hemoglobin, and end-stage renal disease. Peak Expiratory Flow Rate was significantly associated with survival in categorical analyses. Even after considering age, sex, renal disease, history of cardiovascular disease, respiratory symptoms, duration of diabetes, cigarette smoking, and hypertension, peak Expiratory Flow Rate was still significantly related to survival (hazard ratio 0.61 [95% CI 0.46–0.82]). CONCLUSIONS —These data indicate that peak Expiratory Flow Rate is associated with risk factors for other complications of diabetes. In addition, peak Expiratory Flow Rate is a significant predictor of survival over even a relatively short period of time (6 years) in patients with younger-onset diabetes.

  • is peak Expiratory Flow Rate a predictor of complications in diabetes the wisconsin epidemiologic study of diabetic retinopathy
    Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications, 2001
    Co-Authors: Barbara E K Klein, Scot E Moss, Ronald Klein, Karen J Cruickshanks
    Abstract:

    Abstract The Objective of this study was to determine whether peak Expiratory Flow Rate is a predictor of complications of diabetes. Peak Expiratory Flow Rate was measured at the 10-year follow-up (third examination) of a cohort of persons with younger-onset diabetes. The relationships of progression of diabetic retinopathy by two steps, progression to proliferative retinopathy and of incidences of macular edema, sore or ulcers on feet or ankles, lower extremity amputation, proteinuria, and cardiovascular disease 4 years after this examination with respect to peak Expiratory Flow Rate were evaluated. Study procedures including measurements of blood pressure, height and weight, grading of fundus photographs, peak Expiratory Flow Rate, urinalysis, and medical history were performed according to standard protocols. Peak Expiratory Flow Rate was not associated in univariate analyses with progression of retinopathy, incidences of proliferative retinopathy, macular edema or lower extremity amputation, sores or ulcers on feet or ankles, gross proteinuria, or self-reported cardiovascular disease. However, when using multivariable models to include the effects of other risk factors, peak Expiratory Flow Rate was significantly associated with the combined incidences of sores or ulcers on feet and ankles, or lower extremity amputations (OR=0.61, 95% CI 0.42–0.88). These data suggest that peak Expiratory Flow Rate is a predictor of subsequent complications in the lower extremities in those with long duration of younger-onset diabetes. Evaluating this association in an incipient cohort would illuminate whether the relationship we found is likely to be causal.
