The costs and effectiveness of asthma action plans for children were evaluated in a cross-sectional economic analysis. Direct health care and indirect costs, nights with symptoms, and asthma attacks were measured in 879 Ontario children with asthma. From a societal perspective, the total annual costs of the asthma action plan and the control groups were CDN$6,948 and CDN$6,140 per patient, respectively. Health outcomes were similar. The difference in cost was attributable to greater medication and health services use in the intervention group. Prospective randomized trials are necessary to measure potential improvements in control of asthma using asthma action plans.
在一项横断面经济分析中评估了儿童哮喘行动计划的成本和效果。对879名安大略省哮喘儿童的直接医疗保健和间接成本、有症状的夜晚数以及哮喘发作情况进行了测量。从社会角度来看，哮喘行动计划组和对照组的患者年总成本分别为6948加元和6140加元。健康结果相似。成本差异归因于干预组更多地使用了药物和医疗服务。有必要进行前瞻性随机试验，以衡量使用哮喘行动计划在控制哮喘方面的潜在改善情况。
