Barriers that affected self-efficacy included lack of office time to properly measure peak flow, inadequate staff or physician training, and poor follow-up to use PFM readings. Low outcome expectancy was mentioned in relation to poor patient compliance. Furthermore, patients were not always able ...
Methods: Information from literature and interviews with 12 respiratory physicians (four each from France, Spain and UK) and 46 asthma patients was obtained. Factors affecting adherence to asthma treatment were identified, reviewed and a flow chart developed to indicate the relationship between key ...
• Measurements of lung function (spirometry or peak expiratory flow) provide an assessment of the severity of airflow limitation, its reversibility, and its variability, and provide confirmation of the diagnosis of asthma. • Measurements of allergic status can help to identify risk factors that...

The bimodal onset age pattern remained; however, the later peak became more prominent. The males tended to have asthma before the age of 15 years; in contrast, the females tended to have asthma after the age of 16 years (Figure 3). Complete remission, relapse and persistence The proportions...
The ability to perceive the onset and severity of symptoms of asthma varies among children and depends on multifactorial causes and very complex and largely undefined psycho-physiological mechanisms [12,13]. The use of peak flow meters (calibrated instruments used to measure lung capacity in monitori...
