Abstract

Asthma guidelines recommend routine evaluation of asthma control, which includes measurements of impairment and risk. It is unclear whether rigorous asthma control changes risk of asthma morbidity. To examine whether the degree of asthma control in inner-city asthmatic children results in differential risk reduction of future asthma-related morbidity. This retrospective observational study examines 960 inner-city children with asthma who were highly engaged in an asthma-specific disease management program for a minimum of 2 years. Degree of asthma control was determined during the first year of enrollment and was categorized as well controlled (> or = 80% of visits in control), moderately controlled (50%-79% of visits in control), or difficult to control (< 50% of visits in control). Risk and probability of asthma-related morbidity at each visit were determined during the second year of enrollment and included self-reported asthma exacerbations requiring systemic corticosteroid rescue and emergency department visits or hospitalizations. Increasing the degree of asthma control measured during the first year of enrollment led to statistically significant incremental reductions in risk of acute asthma exacerbations and emergency d...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.
