摘要：

The purpose of this study was to determine whether serum magnesium levels in asthmatic patients during acute exacerbations differ from those of a control population. Twenty-three known asthmatics presenting to the emergency department in acute exacerbation (cases) and 15 nonasthmatic patients (controls) matched for age, sex, race, and socioeconomic status had serum magnesium assays drawn. Admission criteria were: age 18 to 50 years with no history of alcoholism, heart disease, renal disease, or diuretic use. Patients giving a history of pregnancy were excluded. Serum magnesium levels were not significantly different in the two study populations, nor did they correlate with the severity of asthma (mean values: cases, 2.04 ± 0.159 versus controls, 2.03 ± 0.134 mg/dL; SD of the difference of the means = .048). An analysis for β-error demonstrated the true difference of the means to be < .1 (95% confidence) or <.13 (99% confidence). In conclusion, serum magnesium levels in asthmatics are not significantly different from those of a control nonasthmatic population. They are not clinically useful for predicting the severity of disease. © 1992.
