Abstract

Failure to follow asthma management guidelines may result in poor asthma control for many patients. The Asthma Insights and Reality in Europe (AIRE) survey, a multi-national survey assessing the level of asthma control from the patients perspective in seven Western European countries, previously demonstrated that the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) guideline goals were not achieved in Western Europe and that both adults and children with asthma were poorly controlled. Using additional data on asthma management practices from each of the seven countries in the AIRE survey, we compared variations in asthma morbidity and asthma management practices across countries to provide insight into the reasons for poor asthma control. Asthma management practices and asthma control among adults and children with current asthma were suboptimal in each of seven countries surveyed. Among patients with symptoms of severe persistent asthma, over 40% reported their asthma was well or completely controlled. School absence due to asthma was reported by upto 52.7% of children and up to 27.6% of adult reported work absence due to asthma. Lung function testing in the past year was uncommon: ranging from 13.5% of children in the U.K. to 68.8% of adu...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.

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.
