Spirometry

“A method for assessing lung function by measuring the volume of air a patient can expel from the lungs after a maximal inspiration” It is then compared with predicted normal values based on age, height, ethnicity, gender to gauge airway obstruction ◊ Uses of Spirometry:

  • Gold standard (other clinical-based measures)
  • Variations in technical abilities, interpretations
  • Used to distinguish asthma vs. COPD
  • Management of respiratory disease
  • Epilepsy, Pregnant, breast feeding
slide-8
SLIDE 8

Airway obstruction

◊ Spirometry data: – FVC : Forced Vital Capacity – total volume of air patient can forcibly exhale in one breath (litres)

  • FEV1: Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second- volume
  • f air patient can exhale in the 1st second of exhalation (litres)
  • FEV1/FVC: Ratio expressed as a fraction

◊ Interpreting the data:

  • Normal FEV1/FVC: 0.7-0.8
  • Airway obstruction < 0.7 (COPD post-bronchodilator)
  • Caution with 70+ years (overdx; 0.65 threshold OK)
  • Flow-volume measurement: traces flow rate against

rate of air exhaled to produce a flow-volume curve

slide-9
SLIDE 9

Spirometry curve

* GOLD: 3 blows that are consistent and within 5% of each other is ideal

  • Normal: Volume-time curve rises rapidly & smoothly & plateaus within 3-4 seconds

Concluding points

◊ Comparison with national/other data

  • Similarities: tobacco use, hypertension, depression
  • Differences: alcohol abuse
  • First time: physical activity, disability

◊ Gender differences

  • Health awareness
  • Tobacco & alcohol use
  • Depression

◊ Potential –Intra-/inter-household NCD pathways & effects ◊ Challenges – Recruitment to clinics, male migrants, blood donation, spirometry in women

Scientific questions

  • What is the effect of indoor exposure to

biomass fuel on respiratory (e.g. lung function) and on cognitive outcomes (e.g. depression score)? (exposure-response)

  • What is the causal effect of installing electricity

and natural gas as both primary and secondary sources of fuel on health outcomes? (causal effect of an intervention)

Exposure to biomass fuel

◊ Household-level questionnaire

2.1

Does the house have electricity?

1=No, 2=Yes

2.2

Fuel for cooking

1=Kerosene 5=Wood 9=Animal Dung/cake 2=Charcoal 6=Agriculture/crop 10=Shrub/Grass 3=Coal 7=Gobar Gas/bio gas 11=Other 4=Gas 8=Electricity 12=None

Primary Fuel Secondary Fuel

2.3 Where is the cooking for the household done?

2.4 Does the inside cooking area have the following?

1=No 2=Yes, 3=Not Applicable

Window

Chimney Exhaust

2.5 On average, how many months per year do you cook inside?

(0-12 months, 99=unknown) Primary Fuel Secondary Fuel

2.6 On average, how many months per year do you cook outside?

(0-12 months, 99=unknown) Primary Fuel Secondary Fuel

Overview

  • How do we define exposure to biomass fuel from the

questionnaire ?

  • 1. Howard and Lindsay exposure index
  • 2. Ashis and Neeraj exposure index
  • Visualizing exposure (Hemangi)
  • Considerations about the pulmonary outcomes (Roopa

and Kapil)

  • Estimating the association between exposure index and

health outcomes using a regression model (Lindsay and Howard)

  • Estimating the causal effects of using clean sources of

fuel for indoor cooking on health outcomes (Francesca)

slide-19

Almost 20% households do not have access to electricity

Type of cooking fuel

Wood is used by more than 50% households for primary and nearly 20% households for secondary cooking.

slide-21
SLIDE 21

More than 80% households do their cooking inside the house either totally or partially.

slide-22
SLIDE 22

Kitchen Facilities

More than 20% households do not have any ventilation facility. Less than 10% households have sophisticated facilities like Chimney and Exhaust fan.

slide-23
SLIDE 23

Inside cooking

More than 35% households do their primary cooking and more than 15% households do their secondary cooking inside the house through out the year.

Ashis and Neeraj Exposure Index Exposure Indices

  • Separately for Adult M/F and Child M/F with corresponding weights / discounting

factors relative to Adult Female

  • Indoor Exposure = [{# months per year (py) cooking}*{# months py primary unclean

cooking(A)} + {# months py secondary unclean cooking(B)}*] *(#years cooking)

  • * Discount factor for windows*Discount factor for outdoor cooking with unclean fuel
  • (A) and (B) to be obtained thru weights computed from time spent within a month

for the corresponding activity.

Exposure Index: Some Issues

  • Missing data on number of months spent

cooking outside or inside for primary and secondary fuel sources – for 1/3 site

– Could not calculate proportion of time spent cooking inside for those participants that cook inside

  • Measures are at the household level

– Assumptions required to assign exposure to individuals (women, men, and children)

Francesca

  • This is a cross sectional study of approx 3000 households in 3

locations in rural areas of India (slides with her description of the data sets are attached)

  • The exposure (indoor exposure to biomass) is at the household

level (and categorical), but the individual level outcomes and risk factors more than 100) are at the individual level

  • The key slide is #9 where are summarized the key questions

regarding the exposure to biomass. From this slide we need to define the “intervention variable” as “clean" versus "non clean" cooking.

slide-37
SLIDE 37

Francesca

  • We define “clean" cooking if a household uses "gas
  • r electricity" as a primary AND as secondary OR "gas

and electricity" as a primary and non secondary

  • source. We define “no clean” cooking all the other
  • ptions.
  • We could estimate the causal effect of the

intervention of “clean" cooking on several outcomes, some are continuous (pulmonary functions) and some are categorial (depression score). We could do a matched analyses, propensity scores, or anything else you like!

Saanvi 1.She is 49 2.She lives in Sangath 3.She is cooking indoor 4.High intake of sugar 5.Her husband smoke 6.No physical activity 7.3 children 8.She has hypertension (outcome) 9.She does only indoor cooking with woods (exposure) Question: what would have been Saanvi’s health outcome, if she had a gas stove? (counterfactual)

  • Obviously we would never know, but we

can estimate the counterfactual by taking the outcome for the women that are as similar as possible to Saanvi in terms of all the measured confounders but that they use ONLY clean sources of indoor cooking (indoor and gas)
