The utility of the Necessity-Concerns Framework (NCF) in explaining adherence and parental beliefs about controller medication in Saudi Arabian children with asthma
CONCLUSIONS: Medication adherence among parents of children with asthma was relatively low. In addition, necessity beliefs were significantly associated with parental adherence to controller medications for their children with asthma. Further studies are warranted to investigate potential factors contributing to poor parental adherence and develop tailored interventions that support parental medication adherence for their asthmatic children.PMID:37997759 | DOI:10.1080/02770903.2023.2288320 (Source: Journal of Asthma)

Beyond Forced Exhalation: Impulse Oscillometry as a Promising Tool for Bronchial Hyperresponsiveness Evaluation
J Asthma. 2023 Nov 24:1-11. doi: 10.1080/02770903.2023.2288316. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe multiple forced expiratory manoeuvres that must be performed during methacholine test require a high degree of collaboration and can lead to fatigue. However, impulse oscillometry (IOS) is a non-invasive test, quick and easy to perform, that does not require effort-dependent maneuvers. The primary endpoint was to evaluate the relationship between IOS and spirometry during the methacholine test. The secondary endpoint was to study the predictive value of baseline IOS in the development of bronchial hyperreactivity.Observational...

Psychometric Test of the Turkish Version of the Family Management Scale for Children with Asthma (FMSCA)
CONCLUSION: FMSCA is a valid and reliable tool that can be used to objectively evaluate family management in families with children with asthma and to determine the effectiveness of interventions.PMID:37999987 | DOI:10.1080/02770903.2023.2288325 (Source: Journal of Asthma)

Risk Factors Associated with Uncontrolled Asthma in Children- A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusion: Our study shows that some significant risk factors might cause uncontrolled asthma in children and adolescents like past hypersensitivity reactions and incomplete controller adherence.PMID:37999990 | DOI:10.1080/02770903.2023.2288317 (Source: Journal of Asthma)

Asthma-community acquired pneumonia co-diagnosis in children: a scoping review
CONCLUSIONS: Our scoping review suggests that chest X-rays are commonly used to establish the co-diagnosis of asthma-CAP and antibiotics are often used without laboratory confirmation of a bacterial etiology. Clinical practice guidelines for the management of asthma and pneumonia in children who present with co-diagnosis may standardize clinical care and reduce variation.PMID:37943507 | DOI:10.1080/02770903.2023.2280843 (Source: Journal of Asthma)
