    Abstract Background: Alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT) is a serine protease inhibitor that serves as a counterbalance to the activity of elastases, e.g., neutrophil elastase in lung tissue. AAT deficiency (AATD) is a rare disorder usually arising from mutations to the SERPINA1 gene that codes for AAT. The most common AATD alleles are S and Z which produce ~ 40% and ~ 90% reductions in serum AAT, respectively. Rare genetic variants (> 500 identified) can also be associated with mild to severe AATD.
    Results: This report describes a novel mutation of SERPINA1 producing AATD, which we have designated, Q0
    Conclusions: Although many SERPINA1 variants have been identified, variants with large deletions and identified in a homozygous individual, as seen in this case with Q0

    Abstract Introduction: Asthma and COPD management have a broad framework, and smoking cessation plays an essential role. We examine the management of asthma and COPD patients not only for inhaler treatment options but also for essential interventions, such as smoking cessation support.
    Methods: Data were collected cross-sectionally from pulmonology departments of three government hospitals in Türkiye between May and September 2022. Patients aged ≥18 years who had been diagnosed with asthma or COPD for at least a year, were included in the study. The demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients were investigated. Routine cessation interventions were implemented for current smokers, and they were followed via phone calls after one month regarding their quit status and access to cessation clinics.
    Results: Data from 145 patients with asthma and 148 patients with COPD were analyzed. The rate of current smoking among patients with asthma and COPD was 18.8% and 34.5%, respectively. Current smoking was negatively associated with age (<65 years) and disease duration (years) for both diseases (p<0.05). In addition, for asthmatics, presence of pulmonary disease in the family (OR:0.28, 95% CI: 0.10-0.79) and for COPD patients presence of hospitalization (OR: 0.26, 95% CI: 0.07-0.93) were negatively associated with current smoking. After one month, 85.1% of current asthmatic smokers had not tried to call a quitline, while 14.8% had tried to contact a quitline. Among current smoker COPD patients, only 1.9% had visited a smoking cessation clinic.
    Conclusions: Tobacco cessation support seems to be neglected in asthma and COPD management. Instead, pulmonologists and patients focus on pharmaceutical treatments, which constitute the other component of care.

    Abstract Background: Asthma can be classified into atopic and non-atopic phenotypes. However, limited data are available on the clinical implications of these two phenotypes in real life.
    Objective: This study aimed to examine the clinical features as well as control level and disease severity of asthmatic patients with their aeroallergen sensitivity profiles.
    Methods: Between 2013 and 2020, adult asthmatic patients who had been followed up regularly at our tertiary healthcare institution for at least one year were included in the study. We collected data retrospectively using manually filled patient files.
    Results: The mean age of 382 asthmatic patients was 46.6 ± 30.0; 77.5% were women and 75.6% had at least one aeroallergen sensitivity. Polysensitized asthmatics had better asthma symptom control and milder asthma severity than monosensitized asthmatics. Asthma symptom control status was well controlled in 67.5% of the patients, and according to asthma severity, 51.3% of the patients were classified as having moderate asthma. There was a negative relation between age (OR:0.95, CI:0.92-0.98) and atopy presence. The presence of atopy was higher in moderate asthmatics than in mild asthmatics (OR:2.02, CI:1.01-4.09). Finally, there was a positive relationship between the percent predicted forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV
    Conclusion: Aeroallergen sensitivity was associated with asthma severity. However, this was not the case with asthma control levels in this adult asthma cohort. Among the atopic asthmatics polysensitized asthmatics had better asthma symptom control level and milder asthma severity level.

    Abstract Asthma can be classified into atopic and non-atopic phenotypes. However, limited data are available on the clinical implications of these two phenotypes in real life. This study aimed to examine the clinical features as well as control level and disease severity of asthmatic patients with their aeroallergen sensitivity profiles. Between 2013 and 2020, adult asthmatic patients who had been followed up regularly at our tertiary healthcare institution for at least one year were included in the study. We collected data retrospectively using manually filled patient files. The mean age of 382 asthmatic patients was 46.6 ± 30.0; 77.5% were women and 75.6% had at least one aeroallergen sensitivity. Polysensitized asthmatics had better asthma symptom control and milder asthma severity than monosensitized asthmatics. Asthma symptom control status was well controlled in 67.5% of the patients, and according to asthma severity, 51.3% of the patients were classified as having moderate asthma. There was a negative relation between age (OR:0.95, CI:0.92-0.98) and atopy presence. The presence of atopy was higher in moderate asthmatics than in mild asthmatics (OR:2.02, CI:1.01-4.09). Finally, there was a positive relationship between the percent predicted forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV₁%) (OR:1.02, CI:1.009-1.048) and the presence of atopy. The presence of rhinitis (OR:0.44, CI:0.22-0.88) and per 1 unit increase of Tiffeneau index (FEV₁/forced vital capacity) (OR:0.94, CI:0.90-0.99) had a negative association, whereas number of medication use for asthma symptoms (OR:1.68, CI:1.18-2.39) and presence of cardiovasculary disease (OR:2.64, CI:1.19-5.84) had a positive association with not well-controlled asthma symptom level. Aeroallergen sensitivity was associated with asthma severity. However, this was not the case with asthma control levels in this adult asthma cohort. Among the atopic asthmatics polysensitized asthmatics had better asthma symptom control level and milder asthma severity level.

    Abstract Introduction: The effects of mold sensitivity on the development and course of asthma have been researched previously, although study results vary. We sought to evaluate the characteristics of our mold-sensitive patients in comparison with those of other adult asthmatic patients.
    Materials and methods: Data were collected retrospectively from adult asthmatic patients who underwent regular follow-ups at our tertiary care outpatient clinic for immunology and allergic diseases. Patients were grouped and compared according to three categories of aeroallergen sensitivity status determined via a skin prick test. The study variables were demographic data, asth-ma-onset age, comorbid conditions, asthma-related emergency department visits and hospitalizations, systemic corticosteroid burst, asthma control assessment tests, and pulmonary function tests.
    Results: In total, 242 patients' data were evaluated. Their mean age was 48.6 ± 15.4 years, with female predominance (81.4%). Mold-sensitive asthmatics composed 34.7%, while the aeroallergen-sensitive group without molds (33.1%) and the non-sensitized group (32.2%) composed the rest. The mold-sensitive group had a higher rate of polysensitization (92.8%) than the sensitized group without molds. In multinomial logistic regression analysis, mold sensitivity was positively associated with shorter asthma duration, absence of sinonasal polyposis, presence of allergic rhinitis, and generally well-controlled asthma compared to the non-sensitized group. Also, mold sensitivity was positively associated with shorter asthma duration, drug allergy, and absence of systemic corticosteroid bursts compared to the sensitized group without molds in logistic regression analysis.
    Conclusion: Our mold-sensitive asthmatic patients demonstrated better asthma symptom control. It should be considered that mold sensitization in adult asthmatics is not always a poor prognostic factor.

    Abstract Background: The effect of COVID-19 on smoking behavior is not fully known. Studies evaluating the link between smoking and COVID-19 have controversial results. This study aims to evaluate patients' smoking status with COVID-19 and the effect of COVID-19 on smoking behavior.
    Methods: Data were collected from 150 COVID-19 patients with a positive polymerase chain reaction test for SARS-CoV-2 between 11 March 2020 and 15 May 2020 in Rize, Turkey. Patients were interviewed by phone calls 2 months after their recovery. After 9 months, a follow-up was performed for those who quit smoking.
    Results: Of the participants, 19 (12.7%) were current smokers before the COVID-19 diagnosis, and 15 (78.9%) of them stated that they quit smoking after their diagnosis. After nine months of follow-up, 11 of those 15 participants (57.8%) sustained abstinence.
    Conclusion: Smoking cessation rates are high in people with COVID-19. Besides, the frequency of sustaining abstinence in the long term was also high in these individuals. The COVID-19 pandemic should be viewed as an open opportunity to strengthen and prioritize smoking cessation activities.

    Abstract The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is similar to connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung diseases (CTD-ILD) in many aspects. However, patients with CTD-ILD have required particular attention during the pandemic since they are at high risk due to -immunosuppressive treatments. Thus, prompt decisions for diagnosis and treatment initiation have become more important than earlier for these patients during the pandemic. Radiological perspectives have become inevitable for the differential diagnosis of this group during the pandemic, particularly to obtain rapid and accurate results that allow the physicians to start treatment immediately. However, in addition to radiological images, a definitive diagnosis also requires access to extensive information regarding patient history, including characteristics of comorbidities, and clinical and serological findings. Consequently, the differential diagnosis of COVID-19 and CTD-ILD can yield accurate treatment regimens that differ greatly between the 2 diseases, and also prevent the spread of the outbreak with COVID-19 patients treated under isolation.

    Abstract Objective: The older adult population in Turkey has increased by 22.6% in the last 5 years, and the characteristics of such patients with asthma remain uninvestigated. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the characteristics of older adults with asthma according to sex and asthma control status to provide an in-depth overview of asthma in this population in Turkey.
    Methods: The data of older adults (age 65 years and over) with asthma were obtained from a multicenter, cross-sectional asthma database registry (Turkish Adult Asthma Registry, TAAR) funded by the Turkish Thoracic Society. Comparisons were made based on sex and asthma control levels using the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) Asthma Symptom Control Questionnaire.
    Results: Of the 2053 (11.5%) patients registered with the TAAR, 227 were older adults (median age, 69 (8), women, 75.8% (
    Conclusions: Herein, older adults comprised 11.5% of adult patients with asthma. Being female poses a disadvantage in terms of both asthma prevalence and control in the older adult asthmatic population owing to the prevalence of comorbidities and socioeconomic sex-related distinguishing factors.

    Abstract Introduction: In the last decade, outpatient smoking cessation clinics (SCCs) in Turkey have been extended countrywide. Initially, only counseling was covered under health insurance. In 2011 and 2015, free varenicline and bupropion preparations were distributed to SCCs, periodically. In the current study we aimed to compare outcomes between the free and paid medication periods.
    Methods: Patients applied to the local SCC in a secondary health care unit between June 2014 and June 2017. They were evaluated for SC interventions and had phone visits after their third month; these records were included in the study. Patients were grouped and evaluated according to medication's reimbursement status: free medication period (FP) and paid medication period (PMP).
    Results: In total, 733 patients applied to the SCC, 77.7% of them had applied during the FP. Analyses were made involving 417 patients who had records of third-month phone visit. Mean age of the patients was 44.0±13.7 years with the majority of patients (65%) being male. Sociodemographic characteristics of patients in both groups were not statistically different, while the percentage of patients with comorbid diseases was lower in the FP group (p<0.05). Treatment choices were different- the bupropion-prescribed group's rate was similar in both periods (53.5% in PMP vs 52.0% in FP), however varenicline was mostly prescribed in the FP (35.8% vs 14.1%) while nicotine replacement therapy was mostly prescribed in the PMP (32.4% vs 12.1%) (p<0.05). Patients who used the advised treatment for at least 30 days (treatment adherent) and the rate of quitters at the third month were higher in FP (p<0.05) from univariate analysis, however these differences were not statistically significant when a multivariate analysis was performed.
    Conclusions: Our study showed that the free medication period increased the quit attempts but the increased in treatment adherence and quit success of the participating smokers was not obvious.
