Anti-asthmatic drug prescriptions to an Italian paedriatic population
Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, 08/31/09
Bianchi M et al. – This study confirms that in Italy the prevalence of anti–asthmatic prescription is much higher than prevalence of disease, indicating that anti–asthmatics are over–prescribed. Moreover, steroids, especially nebulized, are mainly prescribed only once in a year, supporting the idea that are prescribed not for asthma, which as chronic disease requires a chronic therapy. The approach to create subgroups on the basis of number of boxes prescribed seems to be effective in estimating asthma severity and appropriateness of the therapies.
