Improving Pediatrician Knowledge About Environmental Triggers of Asthma.

Abstract
Background. Control of environmental triggers (ETs) greatly improves asthma outcomes in children. Disseminating these findings to general pediatricians has not been well established. Methods. After delivering a structured and standardized presentation on ET identification and control to pediatricians, we surveyed them about knowledge and practices of ET assessment and management. We analyzed matched responses for pre/post and 3- to 6-month follow-up using McNemar’s ?(2) test. Results. Matched data were available for 367 participants, and 3- to 6-month follow-up data were available for 83. There was a significant posttraining increase in intention to ask about ETs and recommend ET management. After 3 to 6 months, all responses remained significantly higher than baseline, except “likely to refer to an asthma specialist.” Conclusion. Pediatricians reported a significant improvement in knowledge about ETs of asthma and a willingness to incorporate exposure history questions and remediation recommendations in their routine practice.

Environmental triggers of hospital admissions for school-age children with asthma in two British cities.
Environmental triggers of hospital admissions for school-age children with asthma in two British cities.
Emerg Med J. 2012 Oct;29(10):844-5
Authors: Julious SA, Jain R, Mason S
Abstract
Research has reported seasonal peaks in asthma in school age asthmatic children. The study aimed to assess if hospital admissions could be predicted from the possible environmental triggers using data from two British cities: Aberdeen and Doncaster. However, there were no consistent patterns across the two cities with no clear evidence that hospital admissions could be predicted from environmental data.
