The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of a written asthma action plan (WAAP) on reducing unscheduled doctor visits, asthma control and quality of life in children with all severities of asthma. This was a randomised controlled, single-blinded study whereby 80 children with asthma were randomly assigned to be either provided a WAAP or verbally counseled . The number of asthmatic exacerbations requiring unscheduled doctor visits, asthma control and quality of life were monitored over 9 mo. At the end of the study, there was no significant difference in the number of unscheduled doctor visits between the 2 groups (p = 0.352). There was no significant difference in asthma control or quality of life between both groups. Hence, the WAAP did not reduce unscheduled doctor visits, nor improve asthma control or quality of life in children with all severities of asthma.
本研究旨在评估书面哮喘行动计划（WAAP）对减少不同严重程度哮喘儿童的非计划性就诊次数、哮喘控制和生活质量的影响。这是一项随机对照、单盲研究，80 例哮喘患儿被随机分为给予 WAAP 或口头咨询。在 9 个月的时间里监测哮喘加重需要非计划性就诊的次数、哮喘控制和生活质量。研究结束时，两组之间非计划性就诊次数无显著差异（p=0.352）。两组之间的哮喘控制或生活质量也没有显著差异。因此，WAAP 并不能减少不同严重程度哮喘儿童的非计划性就诊次数，也不能改善哮喘控制或生活质量。
