Abstract

Clinicians in general have not widely and consistently used asthma guidelines in their practices around the world. This study identifies reasons for the poor adherence to asthma guidelines by primary care physicians (PCPs), and simultaneously introduces multicolored simplified asthma guideline reminder (MSAGR) as a practical tool to enhance adherence to asthma guidelines. Sixty-nine PCPs were given a simple, one-page, fill-in-the-blank questionnaire on the classification of asthma severity as defined in National Asthma Education and Prevention Program guidelines, using patients' symptoms, peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR)/forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) value, PEFR variability, and step therapy based on asthma severity. Also, they were given a questionnaire on barriers to using asthma guidelines and MSAGR for evaluation. In one targeted community, free copies of MSAGR were made available to PCPs, and data on emergency room visits and hospitalization of asthmatic patients were analyzed. Of the PCPs, 16% correctly classified mild, intermittent asthma, 13% mild, persistent asthma, 8% moderate, persistent asthma, and 8% severe, persistent asthma based on the combined patient's symptoms, PEFR or FEV1 value and PEFR variab...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.
