BOHRF Original Authors' Main Conclusions
The original authors' main conclusions are taken from Abstract, Results and
Discussion. They are decided upon by the authors of the BOHRF occupational
asthma guidelines and form part of the guidelines.
Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) was measured in 29 workers with respiratory symptoms exposed to colophony fumes and compared with occupational history and bronchial provocation testing (BPT) in the same workers. The most common pattern is for asthma to increase with each successive working day, sometimes with an equivalent deterioration each working day. Regular recovery patterns taking 1, 2, and 3 days are described. Assessment of these records has shown them to be specific and sensitive. Results of PEFR records correlate well with BPT and provide a suitable alternative for the diagnosis of mild to moderate occupational asthma.
