哮喘是世界上最常见的慢性疾病之一，以前的研究报告控制水平很低。关于哮喘的在线信息来源的可用性和使用的最新发展可能会增加患者的知识并有助于改善控制。通过评估使用互联网和社交媒体的真实患者人群的症状、急性发作和全球哮喘控制倡议定义的控制水平，以及评估患者对控制的感知和对哮喘的态度，调查哮喘控制是否得到改善。在来自11个欧洲国家的8，000名哮喘患者（年龄在18-50岁之间，过去2年中有102次处方，使用社交媒体）中进行了在线调查。哮喘控制水平较低：45%的受访者患有不受控制的哮喘。急性加重常见：44%的受访者报告在过去12个月内使用口服类固醇治疗哮喘，24%的人去过急诊室，12%的人住院治疗。超过80%的受访者（总体而言，以及有急性发作史的受访者）认为他们的哮喘得到了控制。在那些需要口服类固醇的急性发作患者中，75%认为他们的哮喘并不严重。欧洲的哮喘控制仍然很差;症状和恶化很常见。许多患者认为他们的哮喘得到了控制，尽管经历了症状和加重，但并不严重。有必要评估病人的控制、风险和吸入器技术，并确保病人得到处方和接受适当的治疗。
Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases in the world, and previous studies have reported low levels of control. Recent developments in the availability and use of online sources of information about asthma might add to patients’ knowledge and help improve control. To investigate whether asthma control has improved by assessing levels of symptoms, exacerbations and Global Initiative for Asthma-defined control in a real-life population of patients who use the Internet and social media, as well as evaluate patient perception of control and attitudes to asthma. Online surveys were conducted among 8,000 patients with asthma (aged 18–50 years, ⩾2 prescriptions in the previous 2 years, use of social media) from 11 European countries. Levels of asthma control were low: 45% of respondents had uncontrolled asthma. Acute exacerbations were common: 44% of respondents reported having used oral steroids for asthma in the previous 12 months, 24% had visited an emergency department and 12% had been hospitalised. More than 80% of respondents (overall, and among those with a history of exacerbations) considered their asthma to be controlled. Of those who had an exacerbation requiring oral steroids, 75% regarded their asthma as not serious. Asthma control in Europe remains poor; symptoms and exacerbations are common. Many patients regard their asthma as controlled and not serious despite experiencing symptoms and exacerbations. There is a need to assess patients’ control, risk and inhaler technique, and to ensure that patients are prescribed, and take, appropriate treatments.
