Evaluate the effects of peak flow monitoring (PFM) on health outcomes of school-age children with asthma.
Seventy-seven children who previously relied on symptom monitoring were taught PFM. Adherence to PFM during the 16-week study was assessed by a computerized monitor. Health outcomes over time were based on parent report.
Decreases occurred from baseline to week 16 in the incidence of one or more asthma episodes (p = 0.0002), physician/clinic visits (p = 0.0002), emergency department visits (p = 0.03), and missed school days (p = 0.002).
PFM significantly reduced pediatric asthma morbidity in this sample.
评估峰值流量监测(PFM)对学龄哮喘儿童健康结局的影响。
对77名之前依赖症状监测的儿童进行PFM培训。通过计算机化监测仪评估16周研究期间对PFM的依从性。随时间推移的健康结局基于家长报告。
从基线到第16周,一次或多次哮喘发作的发生率(p = 0.0002)、看医生/门诊次数(p = 0.0002)、急诊就诊次数(p = 0.03)和缺课天数(p = 0.002)均有所下降。
在本样本中,PFM显著降低了儿童哮喘发病率。
