Clinical Cornerstone, 10/01/09
Casale TB et al. – Updated Expert Panel 3 asthma guidelines from the National Asthma Education and Prevention Program reinforce the need for clinicians to identify allergic sensitivities in patients with persistent asthma and determine their clinical relevance. Allergy testing can be useful in educating the patient with IgE–mediated asthma about the need for allergic trigger avoidance and can help determine optimal therapy for patients with concomitant asthma and allergy. Implementing this guideline recommendation, however, requires active clinical engagement. Data from a recent observational study indicate that there may be a substantial gap between guideline recommendations and actual clinical practice. These data also suggest that when clinicians participate in education about the role of IgE in asthma and begin testing their patients for allergy, the recognition of allergies among patients with asthma dramatically increases.
