Abstract
Summary
This 12-month retrospective pilot study analysed prescription data of 82 patients with asthma from six practices in Norfolk. Patients on an inhaled corticosteroid/long-acting beta-agonist combination inhaler had significantly greater adherence to inhaled corticosteroids compared to those on a corticosteroid inhaler alone (72.2% versus 40.5%, p=0.001).
Keywords: asthma, adherence, inhaled corticosteroids, combination inhalers
