We aimed to compare patient's and physician's ratings of inhaled medication adherence identify predictors patient-physician discordance. Baseline data from two prospective multicentre observational studies. 29 allergy, pulmonology paediatric secondary care outpatient clinics in Portugal. 395 patients (≥13 years old) with persistent asthma. Data on demographics, relationship, upper airway control, asthma treatment, forced expiratory volume one second (FEV1) healthcare use were collected....
Background Health and fitness apps have potential benefits to improve self-management disease control among patients with asthma. However, inconsistent use rates been reported across studies, regions, health systems. A better understanding of the characteristics users nonusers is critical design solutions that are effectively integrated in patients’ daily lives, ensure these equitably reach out different groups patients, thus improving rather than entrenching inequities. Objective This study...
Tuberculosis remains the leading cause of death worldwide from any infectious agent and alarming increase in annual incidence new cases has been described as a global emergency. Mycobacterium infection requires simultaneous administration multiple drugs. Although majority treatment courses progress with minor side effects, adverse reactions to antituberculosis drugs occur about 5% treated patients can be responsible for cessation or switching therapy. Both nonimmediate (mostly maculopapular...
We aimed to identify persistent asthma phenotypes among adolescents and evaluate longitudinally asthma-related outcomes across phenotypes. Adolescents (13-17 years) from the prospective, observational, multicenter INSPIRERS studies, conducted in Portugal Spain, were included (n = 162). Latent class analysis was applied demographic, environmental, clinical variables, collected at a baseline medical visit. Longitudinal differences variables assessed 4-month follow-up telephone contact 128)....
Aims: To identify distinct asthma control clusters based on Control of Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma Test (CARAT) to compare patients’ characteristics among these clusters. Methods: Adults adolescents (≥13 years) with persistent were recruited at 29 Portuguese hospital outpatient clinics, in the context two observational studies INSPIRERS project. Demographic clinical characteristics, adherence inhaled medication, beliefs about anxiety depression, quality life, (CARAT, >24 good control)...
We aimed to identify persistent asthma phenotypes among adolescents and evaluate, longitudinally, their asthma-related outcomes. A secondary analysis was performed on the prospective, observational multicenter INSPIRERS studies, 162 (13–17 years; 51% male) were analysed. Latent class applied 10 variables easily collected in baseline medical visits, both at primary care, comprehending demographic, environmental, clinical domains. Longitudinal changes assessed a 4-month telephone visit...
Unsupervised methods may unveil the potential of INSPIRERS studies to comprehend heterogeneous characteristics asthma. Therefore, we aimed identify distinct classes asthma among participants, using latent class analysis (LCA), and compare their across classes. We applied LCA 308 adults (≥18 years) with persistent (treated daily inhaled medication) participants in observational prospective studies, conducted 26 secondary care outpatient clinics from Portugal Spain. The classifying variables...
