Abstract

Forty children with moderate to severe asthma were enrolled in an asthma camp. Changes in peak flow meter (PFM) and metered-dose inhaler (MDI) technique, health care utilization, and school absenteeism were evaluated. The mean post-PFM score at the end of camp (8.9 +/- 0.3) was significantly higher (p < .0001) than the pre PFM score (6.0 +/- 3.4). The mean post-MDI score (6.5 +/- 1.5) was significantly higher (p < 0.0001) than the pre-MDI score (4.1 +/- 1.8). Emergency room visits decreased by 59%, hospitalizations decreased by 83%, and school absenteeism decreased from 266 to 188 days. Health care savings totaled $2014 per child enrolled.

摘要

40名中重度哮喘患儿参加了一个哮喘营。评估了峰流速仪（PFM）和定量吸入器（MDI）使用技巧的变化、医疗保健利用情况和缺课情况。营期结束时PFM的平均得分（8.9±0.3）显著高于营期开始前的得分（6.0±3.4）（p<0.0001）。MDI的平均得分（6.5±1.5）显著高于MDI使用前的得分（4.1±1.8）（p<0.0001）。急诊就诊次数减少了59%，住院次数减少了83%，缺课天数从266天减少到188天。每名入营儿童的医疗保健费用节省总计2014美元。
