本研究评估了持续性哮喘儿童的抗炎药物治疗方案，确定了他们的卫生保健利用模式，并评估了与未能寻求和/或接受适当治疗相关的因素。根据国家哮喘教育和预防计划（NAEPP）指南，68%符合抗炎药物资格的儿童的父母报告了他们的使用情况。然而，只有14%的患者接受了最佳方案（轻度间歇性症状），而55%的患者尽管报告了药物治疗仍有症状（次佳方案）。近一半有症状的儿童没有接受过医疗保健访问;在那些接受过的儿童中，61%没有记录纠正措施。在方案和利用的变化的因素进行了讨论。
This study evaluated the anti-inflammatory medication regimens in children with persistent asthma, determined their health care utilization patterns, and evaluated factors associated with failure to seek and/or receive appropriate treatment. Parents of 68% of children who qualified for anti-inflammatory medications by National Asthma Education and Prevention Program (NAEPP) guidelines reported their use. However, only 14% received an optimal regimen (mild intermittent symptoms), while 55% were still symptomatic despite reported medications (suboptimal regimen). Nearly half of symptomatic children did not have a health care visit; of those who did, 61% had no corrective action documented. Factors contributing to variations in regimen and utilization are discussed.
