Application of an algorithm to analyze patterns of intermittent oral corticosteroid use in asthma
NPJ primary care respiratory medicine(2023)
摘要
An algorithm to describe patterns of intermittent oral corticosteroid use in the UK ( n = 476,167) found that one-third of patients receiving intermittent oral corticosteroids for asthma only had short gaps (<90 days) between oral corticosteroid prescriptions sometime during follow-up. The increasing frequency pattern was more likely in patients with greater asthma severity and with more short-acting β 2 -agonist use at baseline. Our approach may provide a clinically relevant representation of intermittent oral corticosteroid use in asthma.
