Dispensary control of bronchial asthma
Abstract
Outpatient care for bronchial asthma patients, is one of the primary problems of the Russian healthcare.
The article shows an analysis of 4-year work for outpatient management of asthma patients based on a pharmacoeconomic modelling method. A gradual implication of GINA principles allowed to improve the asthma detection in 4 times, to reduce a number of admitting to a hospital and of emergency care calls in 5.8 and 4.8 times accordingly. Treatment expenses for one asthma patient in the polyclinic №15 considering hospitalizations and privilege medication cost was 43% less than totally at Samara city.
An analysis of quality of life using the SF-36 questionnaire demonstrated the asthma patients observed in the polyclinic №15 to have a higher quality of life compared with other asthma patients at Samara especially on the criteria of their social activity and mental status.
