Study tracks asthma treatments in children
Respiratory Care Weekly, August 10, 2006
Children who treat their asthma on symptom-based written action plans go to the emergency room 27% less than those who treat asthma via peak-flow monitoring. The retrospective study, published in the current issue of The Cochrane Library, tracked 355 patients involved in several research studies.
"It is our theory that children using the symptom-based plan will use it more often if it [is effective in getting them] to control asthma by taking preventive medication," said Roger Zemek, a review coauthor.
