Program Director/Principal Investigator (Last, First, Middle): Fishe, Jennifer, N K23 Abstract Project Summary Asthma is the most common chronic disease of childhood and a leading cause of emergency medical treatment. Yet there is a paucity of evidence and guidelines for emergency medical services (EMS) treatment of pediatric asthma prior to emergency department (ED) arrival. ED guidelines recommend early systemic corticosteroid (CS) administration within one hour of ED arrival, since studies have shown associated decreases in hospital admissions and ED length-of-stay (LOS). For patients treated by EMS, there exists an opportunity for even earlier administration of CS. The goal of this project is to determine whether EMS administration of CS improves patient outcomes. Our preliminary data demonstrate that currently less than 10% of EMS pediatric asthma patients receive CS prior to ED arrival. Given the time-sensitivity of CS' effects on patient outcomes in the ED, our hypothesis is that EMS administration of CS will decrease hospital admissions, ED LOS, and intensive care unit admissions. By performing a pilot cluster randomized controlled trial, this study will fill a significant prehospital knowledge gap in the continuum of emergent pediatric asthma care. This study analyzes cost and transport times, two factors relevant to EMS operations and future guideline implementation. Through our partnership with Nassau County, Alachua County and Lake County EMS agencies, we plan to enroll 330 patients over a three-year period to analyze clinical outcomes and costs of EMS CS administration, and how both vary with EMS transport time. During the five-year K23 career development award period, Dr. Jennifer Fishe will progress from a mentored investigator to an independent investigator positioned to achieve R01 funding. That transition will occur due to strong mentorship and a structured training plan which includes: 1) Development of knowledge and experience with clinical trials, including protection of human subjects, 2) Attaining a Master of Science in Biostatistics, and 3) Grantsmanship and Leadership training necessary to become an independent investigator. Dr. Fishe's mentor and scientific advisor team contains subject matter experts on clinical trials and pediatric asthma / emergency medical services, experience with R01 grants and clinical trials, as well as career development.

项目主任/首席调查员(最后、第一、中间)：Fishe，Jennifer，N K23摘要 项目摘要 哮喘是儿童最常见的慢性疾病，也是急诊的主要原因。 治疗。然而，关于紧急医疗服务(EMS)治疗的证据和指南还很少。 在急诊科(ED)到达之前，儿童哮喘的风险。ED指南建议及早全身性 在急诊室到达后一小时内给予皮质类固醇(CS)，因为研究表明 住院人数和急诊室住院时间(LOS)减少。对于接受EMS治疗的患者，存在 为更早的CS管理提供了机会。该项目的目标是确定EMS是否 CS的应用改善了患者的预后。我们的初步数据显示，目前不到 10%的EMS儿童哮喘患者在急诊到达之前接受了CS治疗。 考虑到急诊室CS对患者预后影响的时间敏感性，我们的假设是EMS CS的管理将减少入院人数、ED LOS和重症监护病房入院人数。通过 进行先导性整群随机对照试验，这项研究将填补一个重要的院前知识空白 在儿科哮喘急救护理的连续体中。这项研究分析了成本和运输时间这两个因素 与EMS运作和未来指南的实施相关。通过我们与拿骚县的合作， 阿拉丘亚县和莱克县EMS机构，我们计划在三年内招募330名患者 分析EMS CS管理的临床结果和成本，以及两者如何随EMS运输时间的变化而变化。 在五年的K23职业发展奖期间，Jennifer Fishe博士将从一名 由一名独立调查员转为独立调查员，以获得R01资金。这一过渡将发生在 强有力的指导和结构化的培训计划，其中包括：1)发展知识和经验 临床试验，包括保护人类受试者，2)获得生物统计学理学硕士学位，以及 3)成为独立调查员所需的资助人精神和领导力培训。菲什医生的 导师和科学顾问团队包含临床试验和儿童哮喘方面的主题专家/ 紧急医疗服务，R01补助金和临床试验的经验，以及职业发展。 PHS 398/2590(06/09版)第1页续格式页
