Abstract

For adolescents, asthma management can be challenging during the transition to adulthood, and changes in health care and pharmacological treatment may occur. To investigate asthma-related health care consumption and pharmacological dispensation during the transition process. In a Swedish birth cohort study, questionnaire and clinical data from the 16- and 24-year follow-ups were linked to national and regional registries for asthma-related health care consumption and dispensed medications during an 8-year period: 4 years before and after age 18 y, respectively. In the study population (n = 1808), 14% fulfilled the study definition of current asthma at the 16- and 24-year follow-up and 8% (n = 147) had persistent asthma. Among them, register data showed that in the 4-year period before their 18th birthday, 39% (58 of 147) had at least 1 consultation, similar to 37% (55 of 147) in the following 4-year period. The mean number of consultations before age 18 years was 1.6, compared with 1.0 after age 18 years (P = .02). At least 1 dispensation of any inhaled corticosteroid before age 18 years was found for 73% (107 of 147), compared with 50% (74 of 147) after age 18 years. The mean number of dispensed any inhaled corticosteroid was ...Continue Reading

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
