An integrated health-sector strategy to combat COPD and asthma in Vietnam: A pragmatic stepped intervention cluster randomized trial

慢性肺病是资源有限环境的一个重大挑战。在越南，男性吸烟率约为50%，迫切需要更好的策略来预防和治疗慢性阻塞性肺疾病（COPD）和哮喘。我们将进行一项低成本综合干预研究，包括基于健康系统的戒烟计划和针对性地使用经证实的COPD和哮喘治疗方法-吸入性皮质类固醇-以减轻肺部疾病的负担。

Chronic lung diseases are a major challenge for resource limited settings. In Vietnam, where smoking rates in males are around 50%, there is an urgent need for better strategies to prevent and treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. We will perform a study of a low-cost integrated intervention including a health-system based smoking cessation program and the targeted use of proven therapy for COPD and asthma - inhaled corticosteroids - to reduce the burden of lung disease.
