It is estimated that over 3.8 million people in Canada currently suffer from asthma[1], approximately 250 people in Canada die from asthma each year[2] and approximately 317 Canadians are diagnosed with asthma every day[3].
Yet, more than 50% of Canadian patients with asthma remain poorly controlled, with both clinicians and patients grossly underestimating the magnitude of uncontrolled asthma.[4]
Why is that?
There are still many gaps between research evidence and clinical practice:
There is a robust evidence base, including a 2003 Cochrane review of 18 randomized controlled trials that demonstrates that asthma action plans, when combined with education and regular clinical review, reduce hospitalizations, emergency room visits, missed school/work, nocturnal asthma symptoms, and unscheduled visits to the doctor.[7] They also improve quality of life.
Similar conclusions were reached by a more recent review of reviews encompassing 270 randomized controlled trials.[8] Note, that without regular follow-up, asthma action plans and even education are not sufficient to make an impact.[9]
Accordingly, the use of asthma action plans has been recommended by Canadian and international guidelines for over 25 years. [10],[11],[12],[13]
A practical evidence-based care tool for your practice. In partnership with the Lung Health Foundation, we are excited to bring you a newly updated version of our Asthma Action Plan Program based on the most recent guidelines from the Canadian Thoracic Society on the diagnosis and management of asthma. The free 1-hour interactive course is comprised of the latest evidence and practical resources that you can use to immediately implement asthma action plans in your practice - giving your patients with asthma a clear and safer understanding of their symptoms and how they should be managed.
