Title
Accuracy of bronchial challenge testing with histamine and methacholine in the diagnosis of asthma
Review Question
In people under investigation for asthma, what is the diagnostic test accuracy and cost-effectiveness of bronchial challenge testing with histamine and methacholine?
Study Type Included
Clinical effectiveness (test and treat): • Systematic reviews of RCTs • Parallel RCTs Published NMAs and IPDs will be considered for inclusion. Diagnostic test accuracy: • Cross sectional studies • Cohort studies will be included
Condition Being Studied
Asthma
Participant
Inclusion: People with suspected asthma (presenting with respiratory symptoms). Ages stratified into the following 2 groups: • Children/young people (5-16 years old) • Adolescents/ Adults (≥17 years old) Exclusion: • Children under 5 years old • People on steroid medication (washout period minimum of 4 weeks for inclusion)
Animal
Human Disease Modelled
Intervention
• Histamine PC20 and PD20 • Methacholine PC20 and PD20
Comparator Control
Clinical effectiveness (test-and-treat) • Compare to each other Diagnostic accuracy • Reference standard Reference standard: Physician diagnosis of asthma based on symptoms plus an objective test from any one of the following: • peak flow variability (cut-off value of more than 20% variability as indication of a positive test); • bronchodilator reversibility (cut-off value of an improvement in FEV1 of more than or equal to 12%, and an increase in volume of more than or equal to 200mls as indication of a positive test). • FeNO Where no evidence is available using the cut-off values specified above, evidence will be included from studies using a reference standard of physician diagnosis with an objective test using an alternative threshold. Where no evidence is available from studies using physician diagnosis and an objective test, evidence will be included from studies using physician diagnosis based on symptoms alone, or patient report of a previous physician diagnosis. Maximum interval between initial diagnosis and confirmation of ‘asthma’ diagnosis: 12 months
Main Outcome
Clinical effectiveness (test and treat): • Severe asthma exacerbations (defined as asthma exacerbations requiring oral corticosteroid use (dichotomous outcome at ≥6 months) • Mortality (dichotomous outcome at ≥6 months) • Quality of life (QOL; validated scale, including asthma specific questionnaires AQLQ; health-related) (continuous outcome at ≥3 months) • Asthma control assessed by a validated questionnaire (ACQ, ACT, St George’s respiratory) (continuous at ≥3 months) • Hospital admissions (dichotomous at ≥6 months) • Reliever/rescue medication use (continuous at ≥3 months) • Lung function (change in FEV1 or morning PEF – average over at least 7 days for morning PEF) (continuous at ≥3 months). Extract FEV1 %pred over litres if both reported. If only litres is reported, analyse separately (do not extract both). For children, only use FEV1 %pred. • Adverse events o Linear growth (continuous at ≥1 year), o Pneumonia frequency (continuous at ≥6 months) o Adrenal insufficiency as defined by study, including short synacthen test and morning cortisol (dichotomous at ≥3 months) o Bone mineral density (continuous at ≥6 months) • Inflammatory markers; exhaled nitric oxide (continuous at ≥8 weeks) Diagnostic accuracy: Asthma diagnosis Sensitivity (Threshold: upper 90%, lower 10% ) Specificity (Threshold: upper 80%, lower 50%) • Raw data to calculate 2x2 tables for sensitivity and specificity • Negative/positive predictive values Measures of effect Relative risk ratio, odds ratio, mean difference, risk difference, sensitivity, specificity
