ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo compare the effect of hospital initiative management or patients self management in asthma control and pulmonary function, and improve the control level of asthma. Methods Forty moderate asthma patients enrolled successfully from July to December in 2009 were divided into 2 groups by random digits tablehospital initiative management group (group A) and patient self management group (group B) with 20 cases each, and received the asthma treatment with hospital initiative management or patient self management for 1 year. The acute attack time, emergency visit time, hospitalization time,pulmonary function and Saint George respiratory questionnaire (SGRQ) were compared between two groups.ResultsAfter 1 year management, there were 19 patients in good compliance, satisfaction score was (9.300 ± 0.801 ) scores, 13 total control, 6 partial control and 1 uncontrol in group A, while there were 11 patients in good compliance, satisfaction score was (7.800 ± 1.542) scores, 6 total control, 8 partial control and 6 uncontrol in group B. The compliance, satisfaction and control in group A were much better than those in group B (P<0.01 or <0.05). The forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)[(2.56 ±0.30) L]and peak expiratory flow (PEF)[(6.26±0.39) t/s]were elevated while SGRQ[(21.55 ±6.35) scores]in group A were better than those in group B[(2.38 + 0.31 ) L, (5.83 ± 0.52 ) L/s,(29.80 ± 12.04) scores](P < 0.05 or < 0.01 ). ConclusionThe compliance, asthma control, pulmonary function and respiratory quality are improved by hospital initiative management, so it is helpful to promote this management model in China via a close cooperation between general hospital and community hospital.
