[Mathematical prognostication of the efficacy of peloidotherapy in the patients with chronic bronchitis and obstructive pulmonary disease]
Abstract
This study included prognostication of the results of daily application of peloids for the treatment of the patients presenting with chronic bronchitis and obstructive pulmonary disease using a mathematical model. It was shown that the individualized selection of the patients for the daily application of peloid preparations taking into consideration the results of mathematical prognostication makes it possible to significantly improve the total efficacy of the treatment (up to 97.7%), accelerate the achievement of positive outcome of peloidotherapy, reduce by a factor of 4 the frequency of moderately severe balneoreactions, and increase the duration of the remission period by 3.5-4 months.
