Researchers from Sydney’s
Woolcock Institute of Medical
Research have created a tool for
doctors and pharmacists to use to
ascertain whether an asthmatic
patient’s condition is controlled.
The Primary care Asthma Control
Screening tool is a series of five
yes or no questions which could
help health practitioners work out
whether the patient’s condition was
being managed effectively, project
manager Kate LeMay said.
The group’s research, published in
Primary Care Respiratory Journal,
showed that a simple asthma
control screening tool was feasible
for use in community pharmacies,
and had good sensitivity for
determining patients with asthma
that was not well-controlled.
