CARBUROS MÉDICA Y NEUMOMADRID PRESENTAN EL ESTUDIO TOMA EN EL CONGRESO ANUAL DE LA SOCIEDAD EUROPEA DE RESPIRATORIO (ERS)
Tras su presentación en el pasado Congreso de NEUMOMADRID, el Estudio TOMA (Tabaquismo en pacientes con Oxigenoterapia crónica domiciliaria en la Comunidad de Madrid) ha sido dado a conocer a nivel europeo estos días en el Congreso Anual de la Sociedad Europea de Respiratorio, celebrado en Viena. Según el doctor Carlos Jiménez Ruiz, coordinador del Grupo de trabajo sobre Tabaquismo de NEUMOMADRID y uno de los autores de este trabajo, “de entre los fumadores, la tasa más alta de consumo de tabaco se situaba en los que están en la década de los 40 (30%)”.
El alto grado de adicción explica el consumo de tabaco de estos pacientes. Según este estudio, la mitad de los pacientes fumadores activos “fumaba más de 10 cigarrillos al día, siendo el promedio de unos 13 diarios, llegando un 10,8% a fumar más de 1 paquete al día”, asegura la doctora Pilar de Lucas, jefe de la Sección de Soporte Ventilatorio del Hospital Gregorio Marañón de Madrid y otra de las coordinadoras del estudio TOMA. “Y es que, la edad media de inicio del hábito tabáquico fue de 18,8 años, llevando una media de tiempo fumando de 48,8 años”, destaca la especialista, según la cual los datos obtenidos de este trabajo muestran que “antes de media hora tras levantarse por las mañanas, el 65% asegura haber fumado ya su primer cigarrillo”.

Introduction: Despite being demonstrated as a bad prognosis factor, it is well known that a high percentage of patients with chronic respiratory disease continue to smoke. Objective: To estimate the prevalence of smoking in patients on long term oxygen therapy (LTOT) living in the Community of Madrid, assessing their attitudes about tobacco habit Methodology: Cross-sectional descriptive study. From the total population on LTOT a representative sample was randomly recruited. Inclusion criteria: Age >40, LTOT at least 6 months. A home interview about smoking habit and clinical aspects was conducted by trained health workers, including Fagerström test and Motivation to change questionnaire. Exhaled CO was also measured. Results: We studied 845 patients (45.4% F, 54.6% M, age 78.25 + 10.36). 42.5% of them had never smoked, 52.1% were ex smokers and 5.4% were active smokers. The rate of active smokers was higher with lower age (30% in 41 – 50 years old). The score of Fagerström test was 3.63 + 2.4. CO level was 8.7+6.7; COHb 1.39% + 1.37. With respect to their stage of change, 45% are in a preparation phase, 10.9% in a contemplation phase and 43.5% in a pre contemplation phase. Conclusions: Although the prevalence rate obtained is smaller than the referred in the literature, it is of very high impact when we consider that these patients are in an advanced phase of their disease. More importantly, younger patients show the highest rate of smoking. A very high number of smokers are in a pre contemplation stage for quitting.

Introduction: Despite being demonstrated as a bad prognosis factor, it is well know that a high percentage of patients with chronic respiratory disease continue to smoke. Objectives: Evaluation of a low intensity smoking cessation intervention at home in smoker patients with CRF treated with home LTOT. Methods: 46 Smokers from the Smoking Prevalence Study on LTOT patients in the Community of Madrid were evaluated regarding their nicotine dependence and motivation to change stage, and exposed to educational material on smoking cessation by trained health personnel of the home oxygen provider. Patients in Preparation stage were offered referral and speedy access to hospital clinic for smoking cessation therapy free of charge. 6 months follow up was done. Results: From a powered sample of 845 patients >40 y with CRF on LTOT, 46 (5.4%) patients confessed to be active smokers. On pre-contemplation stage were 20; in contemplation stage 5 and in preparation stage were 21. In this case, all of them were invited to go to hospital: Follow-up (16): 5 patients had gone to the hospital and confessed smoking cessation today; 7 changed of mind and 4 had physical problems that not allowed them to go to the hospital. Conclusion: Minimal intervention for smoking cessation at home in patients on LTOT together a specialized smoking cessation hospital clinic has a preliminary impact of 10.8% of efficacy measured as total smoking cessation final outcome at 6 months follow-up (23,8% on preparation stage).
