ABSTRACT
Background:
Despite the recommendations now in force for the management of asthma, evidence suggests that many asthmatic patients still have their disease uncontrolled.Objective:
to assess asthma control and to identify the fac-tors associated with uncontrolled disease among the patients received for consultation in the department of Pneumology in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.Patients andmethods:
We conducted a cross-sectional study from 02/01/2015 to 01/31/2016 in the department of Pneu-mology of Yalgado Ouedraogo University Hospital in Oua-gadougou. All asthma patients seen during this time frame participated in this study. The 2014 GINA criteria were used to assess the asthma control status.Results:
One hundred and two asthmatic patients were in-cluded (76 women and 26 men) with a mean age of 38.7 ± 18.6 years. Asthma was found to be well controlled in 26.5% of cases, partially controlled in 34.3% of cases and uncontrolled in 39.2% of cases. The following factors were found to be associated with an uncontrolled asthma age >36 years (p = 0.002), low level of education (p = 0.04), allergic rhinitis (p = 0.01), overweight (p = 0.03), duration of asthma ⥠10 years (p = 0.04), therapeutic non-compliance (p = 0.00).Conclusion:
Asthma was insufficiently controlled in our study. A tremendous emphasis must be put on not only on the therapeutic education of asthma patients, but also on a better management of comorbiditie
