Provision of inhaled corticosteroids is associated with decrease in hospital admissions in Brazil: A longitudinal nationwide study
2020, Respiratory MedicineCitation Excerpt :Anyway, we found that provision of ICS reduced the admissions in children, too. Other authors have consistently shown that ICS use by asthmatic children (even those younger than 2 years old) decreases hospital admissions [36–38]. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to thoroughly analyze nationwide data on the relationship between ICS provision and hospital admissions in a large, populous middle income country with a great proportion of people with low schooling.
Medication Identification Among Caregivers of Urban Children With Asthma
2016, Academic PediatricsChildhood asthma hospital discharge medication fills and risk of subsequent readmission
2015, Journal of PediatricsCitation Excerpt :This proportion may reflect either a low prescription rate or low rate of prescription filling. In either case, the effect of inhaled steroids on reducing overall hospitalization is well established22-24 and in light of their effect on readmission at both intervals, discharging providers and those that reimburse hospital care should consider strategies to enhance the receipt of inhaled steroids at discharge. One potential method to enhance receipt of these medications is to dispense them with the families at the time of discharge, either from an inpatient or outpatient pharmacy.
