Abstract

Symptom-based adjustment (SBA) of inhaled corticosteroids may be an alternative patient-centered approach in which day-to-day inhaled corticosteroid use is adjusted by symptoms and short-acting β-agonist need. To evaluate the effectiveness of SBA in the primary care setting. We conducted a randomized, open-label, pragmatic equivalence trial in African-American children (6-17 years old) with mild asthma managed by 12 primary care providers (PCPs). A total of 206 participants were randomized to SBA (as-needed beclomethasone 80 μg with rescue short-acting β-agonist) or provider-based guideline-directed adjustment (PBA): maintenance beclomethasone 80 μg/d (6-11 years old), 160 μg/d (12-17 years old), with subsequent guideline-based dose adjustment by PCPs. PCPs implemented both treatment assignments, with outcomes measured by blinded staff. All participants received symptom recognition and albuterol use education from peer educators. Primary outcome was change in asthma control (measured by Asthma Control Test [ACT]/childhood ACT [cACT]) over 12 months. Participants had adequately controlled asthma (mean ACT or cACT score = 21.6 ± 2.8) at baseline. After 1 year, there was no significant between-group difference in change in ACT sco...Continue Reading

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

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.
