[Pharmacotherapeutical management of bronchial asthma].

The analysis of the prescriptions for bronchial asthma (BA) patients in outpatient practice was made using data base created at the Regional Fund of Obligatory Health Insurance in the Sverdlovsk region with consideration of GINA principles of BA stepped care. The real structure of prescriptions was compared with the pattern drug official list for asthma care. The cost of each BA care step was calculated on the base of the computer programs. The analysis showed low quality of BA care in outpatient practice. The created computer programs are very useful for the prescriptions structure monitoring, cost-effect analysis and pharmacotherapeutical management of the diseases.
