TLDR
A narrative literature review on surveys used to assess the level of medication adherence in children and adolescents with asthma, the attitudes of these patients and their parents toward asthma therapy, and their expectations concerning asthma and available treatment found medication adherence is crucial for a good control of asthma symptoms.Abstract:

Eric D. Bateman,Helen K. Reddel,Paul M. O'Byrne,Peter J. Barnes,Nanshan Zhong,Christina Keen,Carin Jorup,Rosa Lamarca,Agnieszka Siwek-Posluszna,J. Mark FitzGerald +9 more
TL;DR: In patients with mild asthma, budesonide–formoterol used as needed was noninferior to twice‐daily budesonides maintenance therapy with respect to the rate of severe asthma exacerbations during 52 weeks of treatment but was inferior in controlling symptoms.

Digital health interventions in children with asthma.
TL;DR: A review of the published literature examining digital health interventions for paediatric asthma explores the most relevant issues affecting their implementation in practice and the associated evidence gaps, research limitations and future research perspectives.

Prevalence and predictors of adherence to inhaled corticosteroids in young adults (15-30 years) with asthma: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
TL;DR: Adherence is sub-optimal during emerging adulthood, particularly after age 18, and greater research and practice attention to emerging adulthood are needed to guide self-management support in those living with asthma at this important lifespan stage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Socioeconomic disparities in asthma healthcare utilization, exacerbations and mortality: A systematic review and meta-analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors systematically synthesize evidence investigating the impact of socio-economic status (SES) on asthma healthcare utilization, exacerbations, emergency department (ED) attendance, hospitalization, ventilation/intubation, readmission and mortality.
Adherence in childhood asthma: the elephant in the room (Journal article)
TL;DR: Adherence to inhaled steroids is suboptimal in many children with asthma and can lead to poor disease control as mentioned in this paper, and many previous studies have used subjective and inaccurate adherence measurements, reducing their validity.

Worldwide time trends in the prevalence of symptoms of asthma, allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, and eczema in childhood: ISAAC Phases One and Three repeat multicountry cross-sectional surveys
M. Innes Asher,Stephen Montefort,Bengt Björkstén,Christopher K.W. Lai,David P. Strachan,Stephan K. Weiland,Hywel C Williams +6 more
TL;DR: The rise in prevalence of symptoms in many centres is concerning, but the absence of increases in prevalence in asthma symptoms for centres with existing high prevalence in the older age-group is reassuring.

The global burden of asthma: executive summary of the GINA Dissemination Committee Report
TL;DR: This report provides a wealth of information that will be an invaluable source of information for those who wish to explore available data on the burden of asthma by region and will be extremely useful to develop background materials for World Asthma Day activities in 2004 and well into the future.

TL;DR: In response to the proliferation of ambiguous or unquantifiable terms in the literature on medication adherence, this research has resulted in a new conceptual foundation for a transparent taxonomy, focused on promoting consistency and quantification in terminology and methods.

The impact of non‐compliance on the cost‐effectiveness of pharmaceuticals: a review of the literature
TL;DR: It was evident that non-compliance always results in a reduction in efficacy, but its impact on costs varied substantially, as failing to account for 'real world' compliance rates in pharmacoeconomic evaluations may lead to selection of sub-optimal treatment strategies.

Addition to inhaled corticosteroids of long‐acting beta2‐agonists versus anti‐leukotrienes for chronic asthma
TL;DR: The addition of LABA to ICS was associated with a statistically greater improvement from baseline in lung function, as well as in symptoms, rescue medication use and quality of life, although the latter effects were modest.
