Abstract
En 中文
Objective Ambroxol hydrochloride and clenbuterol hydrochloride oral solution (AHCHOS) is an agent with mucolytic and bronchodilator functions, but its clinical application in child patients with lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) and symptoms of mucoid sputum needs more investigation. This study aimed to investigate efficacy of AHCHOS, its influencing factors, and effect on quality of life in these patients. Methods This study enrolled 254 hospitalized child patients with LRTI and symptoms of mucoid sputum receiving AHCHOS. Results Total cough of respiratory symptom (QS) score and QS scores of each subscale (cough, amount of sputum, difficulty in expectoration, and wheeling rale) on the 7th day (D7) were decreased than those at baseline (all P < 0.001). After multivariate logistic regression analysis, non parental guardian status (OR = 25.641, P = 0.020), respiratory rate (OR = 1.075, P = 0.019), and neutrophil percentage (OR = 1.034, P = 0.026) were independently related to higher possibility of absolute value of change of total QS score>5. Quality of life visual analog scale score on D7 was reduced than that at baseline (P < 0.001). Medication compliance was 98.00% on the 4th day, 92.68% on D7, 76.00% on the 14th day, and 75.95% on the 28th day. No adverse event occurred. Conclusion AHCHOS alleviates respiratory symptoms and improves quality of life with good safety in child patients with LRTI and symptoms of mucoid sputum, which is more beneficial for those with elevated respiratory rate, higher neutrophil percentage, and nonparental guardians.
