Poor adherence to medication regimens may be contributing the recent increase in asthma morbidity and mortality. We examined patient characteristics that influence twice-daily inhaled steroid regimens.

Following monitoring, patients' understanding pathophysiology function corticosteroids were assessed. Patient beliefs...
The safety of sulfonamide nonantibiotics is unclear in patients with prior allergic reactions to antibiotics.
Self-management is of increasing importance in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) management. However, there confusion over what processes are involved, how the value self-management should be determined, and about research priorities. To gain more insight into agreement content programmes, outcomes, future directions COPD self-management, a group interested researchers physicians, all whom had previously published on this subject who collaborated other projects, convened workshop....
Black and Latinx patients bear a disproportionate burden of asthma. Efforts to reduce the morbidity have been mostly unsuccessful, guideline recommendations not based on studies in these populations.
