The objective of the study was to assess the suitability of the structure of Primary Health Care Centers to cater to the needs of patients with asthma. Standards for optimal care were defined by the authors. The worst deficiencies identified were in the availability peak flow meters, inhaler devices and antiinflammatory drugs. Assessment of the optimal structure for asthma care was found to demonstrate variance with national standards. More effort is recommended in central development of guidelines. This assessment can be used to measure future changes in asthma care.
该研究的目的是评估初级卫生保健中心的结构是否适合满足哮喘患者的需求。作者定义了最佳护理标准。所发现的最严重不足在于峰值流量计、吸入器装置和抗炎药物的可获得性。结果发现，对哮喘护理最佳结构的评估与国家标准存在差异。建议在指南的集中制定方面做出更多努力。该评估可用于衡量哮喘护理未来的变化。
