Asthma diagnosis and treatment – 1018. Effect of inhaled corticosteroids with long-acting beta2 agonists vs. inhaled corticosteroids alone on asthma control in children: results from national ashtma survey
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods Data from the National Asthma Survey were analyzed to compare asthma control in children (5 to 11 yrs) using ICS/LABA vs. ICS alone. Both short term (symptoms within last 2 weeks, day and night symptoms in last 30 days and use of systemic glucocorticoids in last 3 months) and long term (asthma attack, emergency department visits, hospitalizations and activity limitations in the prior year) outcomes were compared. Demographics, availability of health insurance, indoor allergen exposure and asthma education were compared between the two groups. Asthma control in an adult population (18 to 44 years) was also assessed for the same parameters.

Introduction: Asthma exacerbation is common in children. Treatment with oral corticosteroids (OCS) and inhaled corticosteroids are suggested for asthma exacerbation. It is shown that inhaled corticosteroids has similar outcome in reducing asthma symptoms compared to OCS. But few studies have evaluated the pulmonary function changes in these two treatments. In this study, we evaluated the chang...

BACKGROUND It is unclear whether long-acting beta-agonists with concomitant inhaled corticosteroids increase asthma-related intubations and deaths. We pooled data on long-acting beta-agonists with variable and concomitant inhaled corticosteroids to evaluate the risk for catastrophic asthma events. METHODS We conducted searches of electronic databases, the US Food and Drug Administration websi...

In 2002 the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program published evidence-based guidelines for the diagnosis and management of asthma, but there are some unresolved asthma-management issues that need further research. For asthmatic children inhaled corticosteroids are more beneficial than as-needed use of beta(2) agonists, long-acting beta(2) agonists, theophylline, cromolyn sodium, nedoc...
