Relation between asthma adherence and asthma related outcomes
Duration: Nov 2014 - Nov 2015
Background
The relationships between asthma adherence, disease severity and clinical outcomes are complex. In routine care, patients tend to self-manage based on perceived medication need. High levels of adherence may then reflect a poorly controlled disease.
Research question
What is the impact of adherence, and change in adherence, on asthma outcomes, and vice versa? (i.e. do high levels of adherence result in well-controlled disease?)
Method
With multilevel modeling, the longitudinal relation between asthma adherence and outcomes will be explored as well as predictors of between- and within-subject variance in adherence and outcomes.
Result
This study will provide insight into the bidirectional relationship between database markers of asthma treatment adherence and asthma control.
