Tjard Schermer,Ivo Smeele,Bart Thoonen,Annelies Lucas,Joke Grootens,T. J. van Boxem,Yvonne F. Heijdra,C. van Weel +7 more
TL;DR: The aim of the present study was to establish the agreement between two recommended definitions of airflow obstruction in symptomatic adults referred for spirometry by their general practitioner, and investigate how rates of breeze obstruction change when pre-bronchodilator instead of post-bronschodillator spirometry is performed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Randomized controlled economic evaluation of asthma self-management in primary health care.
Tjard Schermer,Bart Thoonen,Guido van den Boom,Reinier Akkermans,Richard Grol,Hans Th.M. Folgering,Chris van Weel,Constant P. van Schayck +7 more
TL;DR: guided self-management is a safe and efficient alternative approach compared with asthma treatment usually provided in Dutch primary care and cost is equal to or lower than in usual care.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors associated with asthma control.
TL;DR: Beside treatment with medication, stopping smoking and avoidance of triggers are factors, which may have a high impact on asthma control.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bart Thoonen,Tjard Schermer,Margreet Jansen,Ivo Smeele,Annelies Jacobs,Richard Grol,Onno C. P. van Schayck +6 more
