An observational study of the impact of an antenatal asthma management service on asthma control during pregnancy.
Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol. 2015 Dec 2;197:48-53

Abstract
OBJECTIVE: We sought to investigate the impact of introducing an antenatal asthma management service (AMS) on asthma control during pregnancy and subsequent perinatal outcomes.
STUDY DESIGN: Prospective, observational cohort study of pregnant asthmatic women attending a tertiary hospital antenatal clinic. Asthmatic women were recruited from the antenatal clinic and were followed prospectively with visits at 12, 20, 28 and 36 weeks gestation. A new nurse-led AMS was introduced offering asthma self-management education and support. Outcomes were compared between women recruited before and after the AMS was introduced (n=89 and 80, respectively) and included; prevalence of exacerbations during pregnancy, asthma control throughout pregnancy and perinatal outcomes, including preterm birth and small-for-gestational-age (SGA).
RESULTS: The relative risk for exacerbations (0.69; CI: 0.33-1.42), loss of control (0.67; CI 0.46-0.99) and persistent uncontrolled asthma (0.48; CI 0.26-0.9) were all reduced with attendance to AMS during pregnancy. AMS was associated with non-statistically significant reductions in asthma exacerbations (19.1-15.0%; p=0.480) and uncontrolled asthma at ?2 study visits (21.3-11.3%; p=0.078).
CONCLUSIONS: These findings demonstrate the potential impact of an AMS in improving asthma control during pregnancy, supporting the need for an adequately powered RCT to determine its clinical- and cost-effectiveness.
