Improving asthma outcomes in Kuwait through a standardized emergency department algorithm
Asthma is a common chronic inflammatory disease of the respiratory system that significantly affects the quality of life and overall health of patients. When asthma is poorly managed, the risk of exacerbation and hospitalization increases, leading to higher direct and indirect healthcare costs and reduced productivity. Overuse of short-acting beta-agonists (SABAs) and underuse of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) often result in poor asthma control and ineffective treatment. To reduce the frequency of exacerbation and alleviate pressure on Kuwait's healthcare system, it is important that patients are discharged with an evidence-based treatment plan.
期刊介绍:
The official pubication of the World Allergy Organization, the World Allergy Organization Journal (WAOjournal) publishes original mechanistic, translational, and clinical research on the topics of allergy, asthma, anaphylaxis, and clincial immunology, as well as reviews, guidelines, and position papers that contribute to the improvement of patient care. WAOjournal publishes research on the growth of allergy prevalence within the scope of single countries, country comparisons, and practical global issues and regulations, or threats to the allergy specialty. The Journal invites the submissions of all authors interested in publishing on current global problems in allergy, asthma, anaphylaxis, and immunology. Of particular interest are the immunological consequences of climate change and the subsequent systematic transformations in food habits and their consequences for the allergy/immunology discipline.
