Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term effects of budesonide or nedocromil in children with asthma.

TL;DR: In children with mild-to-moderate asthma, neither budesonide nor nedocromil is better than placebo in terms of lung function, but inhaled budesonides improves airway responsiveness and provides better control of asthma than placebo or nedOCromil.
Journal ArticleDOI

Noncompliance and treatment failure in children with asthma

TL;DR: Electronic monitoring demonstrated much lower adherence to prescribed therapy than was reported by patients on diary cards, and low rates of compliance with prescribed inhaled corticosteroids were associated with exacerbation of disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Measurement of children's asthma medication adherence by self report, mother report, canister weight, and Doser CT.

TL;DR: Electronic adherence monitoring was significantly more accurate than self-report or canister weight measures and was an essential prerequisite to increasing understanding of the treatment, setting, and patient factors that influence adherence and to the consequent design of effective intervention strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonadherence in asthmatic patients : is there a solution to the problem?

TL;DR: Improved adherence will lead to improved disease control, but only if medical care systems encourage and support the allocation of sufficient resources to allow barriers to self-management to be discussed and solutions negotiated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Patient-identified barriers to asthma treatment adherence: responses to interviews, focus groups, and questionnaires.

TL;DR: The most common barriers to adherence revealed by patients included concerns about drug safety and cost, and a belief that the patient's asthma was not severe enough to require daily treatment.
