ABSTRACT
Achieve a good clinical control by reducing symptoms and management of modifiable risk factors for exacerbations is the main goal of asthma treatment. Our objective was to assess the degree of clinical control and the presence of modifiable risk factors of exacerbations in asthmatic patients controlled in primary care. Data were extracted from clinical records of asthmatics attending their scheduled visit between November 2014 and June 2015. In each visit the Asthma Control Test was performed. 236 visits (183 patients) were analyzed. 10% had totally controlled asthma, 34% partially controlled and 56% uncontrolled. The worst clinical control was significantly associated with greater use of health resources. 92% had modifiable risk factors of exacerbation, mainly obesity and active smoking.
RESUMEN
Lograr un buen control clínico mediante la disminución de los síntomas y el manejo de factores de riesgo modificables de exacerbaciones es el objetivo principal del tratamiento del asma. Nuestro objetivo fue evaluar el grado de control clínico y la presencia de factores de riesgo modificables de exacerbaciones en asmáticos que se controlan en atención primaria. Se extrajeron datos de registros clínicos de los asmáticos que acudieron a su visita programada entre noviembre de 2014 y junio de 2015. En cada visita se realizó el Test de Control del Asma. Se analizaron 236 visitas (183 pacientes). El 10% tenía el asma totalmente controlada, 34% parcialmente controlada y 56% no controlada. El peor control clínico se asoció significativamente con mayor uso de recursos sanitarios. El 92% tenía factores de riesgo modificable de exacerbaciones, principalmente obesidad y tabaquismo activo.
