Development and validation of an electronic daily control score for asthma (e-D...
Sousa-Pinto, Bernardo; Jácome, Cristina; Pereira, Ana Margarida; Regateiro, Frederico S.; Almeida, Rute; Czarlewski, Wienczyslawa; Kulus, MarekBackground Validated questionnaires are used to assess asthma control over the past 1–4 weeks from reporting. However, they do not adequately capture asthma control in patients with fluctuating symptoms. Using the Mobile Airways Sentinel Network for airway diseases (MASK-air) app, we developed and validated an electronic daily asthma control score (e-DASTHMA). Methods We used MASK-air data (freely available to ...
Patient-centered digital biomarkers for allergic respiratory diseases and asthm...
Bousquet, Jean; Shamji, Mohamed H.; Anto, Josep M.; Schünemann, Holger J.; Canonica, G. Walter; Jutel, Marek; Del Giacco, Stefano; Zuberbier, TorstenBiomarkers for the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of patients with rhinitis and/or asthma are urgently needed. Although some biologic biomarkers exist in specialist care for asthma, they cannot be largely used in primary care. There are no validated biomarkers in rhinitis or allergen immunotherapy (AIT) that can be used in clinical practice. The digital transformation of health and health care (including mH...
Spacers and valved holding chambers : the risk of switching to different chambers
Lavorini, Federico; Barreto, Celeste; van Boven, Job FM; Carroll, Will; Conway, Joy; Costello, Richard W.; Dahl, Birthe HellqvistSpacers are pressurized metered-dose inhaler (pMDI) accessory devices developed to reduce problems of poor inhaler technique with pMDIs. Spacers that feature a 1-way inspiratory valve are termed valved holding chambers (VHCs); they act as aerosol reservoirs, allowing the user to actuate the pMDI device and then inhale the medication in a 2-step process that helps users overcome challenges in coordinating pMDI a...
