Reduce of bronchial asthma burden and improvement of quality of patients’ life
Abstract
As a serious chronic illness, asthma imposes a significant burden on society in terms of cost to patients, their families and the healthcare and social security system. More specifically, the burden on patients is characterised by impact on lifestyle and well-being, as well as on livelihood. Instruments are available that describe and measure the impact of asthma and its treatment on patients’ health-related quality of life, and a number of these have translated and adapted for use in Russia. Use of these will contribute to improvement in care of asthma patients in Russia in the future.
