Are the presence of asthma and the COVID-19 infection associated with behavioral changes in Lebanese adolescents?
CONCLUSION: It is confirmed that asthma and psychiatric disorders are interconnected, so it would be of great importance to include screening through a psychological intervention in treating asthmatic adolescents by means of (1) recognizing factors affecting patients' mental health, and (2) regulating uncontrolled behaviors that can exacerbate symptoms in order to avoid the future morbidity.PMID:38459893 | DOI:10.15586/aei.v52i2.1054 (Source: Allergologia et Immunopathologia)

Association of behaviors and asthma control in a sample of Lebanese adolescents with asthma
CONCLUSION: Our findings support the inclusion of mental health treatments for better asthma control and point to a link between behavioral issues and uncontrolled asthma. In a developing nation without a clear established strategy for asthma prevention, the findings of this study could help develop potentially beneficial public health treatments.PMID:38459891 | DOI:10.15586/aei.v52i2.1057 (Source: Allergologia et Immunopathologia)
