Rehabilitation of patients with bronchial asthma on the South Crimean Coast in different seasons of the year

The aim of the research was to study the influence for each seasons of the year on the results of the sanatorium medical rehabilitation (SMR) of patients with asthma on the Southern Coast of the Crimea (SCC). The research included 518 patients with asthma who completed course of the SMR on SCC. 129 patients completed the course in the winter, 139 patients completed it in the spring, 116 patients completed it in the summer and 133 patients in the autumn. All patients were screened and received complex SMR. Methods of rehabilitation were identical, except of climatotherapy which corresponded to seasons of year. The results of the SMR were estimated by efficiency and criteria of the ICF. The aeropalynological research was conducted. The static processing was evaluated by SPSS 25. The results of the study suggest that the patients were admitted on rehabilitation with the activity of the allergic process, an obstructive syndrome and lack of current asthma control. The groups of patients were comparable among themselves. Aeropalynological researches revealed that the main producers of pollen were Cu-pressus sp. and Cedrus sp. in the winter, in the spring they were Cupressus sp., Pinus sp. and Fraxinus sp., in the summer they were Poaceae and Ambrosia sp., and in the winter it was Cedrus sp. Pollen loading considerably prevailed during the spring period. By all analyzed criteria of SMR efficiency the reliable positive dynamics is reached in every season. Differences of SMR efficiency between seasons are not revealed, despite sharply different pollen loading. Thus, the expediency of year-round use of SCC potential for carrying out the rehabilitation of patients with asthma has been proved.
