Brief Summary:
Little is known about how ED-based programs can help to reduce pediatric ED visits for asthma The current study evaluated a novel intervention in which the ED itself became the site of highly individualized comprehensive follow-up asthma care It sought to determine if such an intervention could decrease subsequent unscheduled visits for asthma while improving asthma quality of life
Detailed Description:
Prospective randomized clinical trial of a single visit to a specialized emergency department-based asthma follow-up clinic occurring 2-15 days after emergency department care for an acute exacerbation All patients were followed for 6 months Analysis was by intention-to-treat with adjustment for baseline differences Our primary hypothesis was that this intervention would decrease subsequent unscheduled visits both to EDs and other sources of urgent care for asthma over a six-month follow-up period We further hypothesized that the intervention would decrease hospitalizations for asthma improve compliance with an individualized medical plan and with trigger control increase scheduled primary care practitioner PCP visits for routine asthma care and decrease asthma symptoms while improving asthma quality of life QOL
