We performed a retrospective cohort analysis comparing trends in low global warming potential (GWP) inhaler prescribing in primary care in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland between 2018 and 2024 using national prescribing data. There was little change in England, a reduction from 36.6-31.0% in Scotland, a reduction from 36.7-33.2% in Northern Ireland, and an increase from 30.8-41.1% in Wales. Only in Wales was there a simultaneous reduction in high GWP inhalers and an increase in low GWP inhalers. Over the time period of the study there has been a saving of 20,303 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent in Wales.
我们利用国家处方数据进行了一项回顾性队列分析，比较了2018年至2024年期间英格兰、苏格兰、威尔士和北爱尔兰初级保健中低全球变暖潜能值（GWP）吸入器处方的趋势。英格兰变化不大，苏格兰从36.6%降至31.0%，北爱尔兰从36.7%降至33.2%，威尔士从30.8%升至41.1%。只有在威尔士，高GWP吸入器的处方量同时减少，低GWP吸入器的处方量增加。在研究期间，威尔士减少了20303吨二氧化碳当量的排放。
