Post Exacerbation Asthma Clinic Telecare Intervention to Reduce Recurrent Exacerbations
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Asthma Acute, Asthma Attack
In brief
Asthma exacerbations leading to emergency department visits or hospitalization are associated with a high risk of recurrent exacerbations, poor disease control, and increased healthcare utilization in the months following discharge. Early specialist follow-up during this vulnerable transition period remains limited, and many patients do not receive optimized long-term asthma management. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a structured remote asthma clinic intervention initiated shortly after hospital discharge can reduce recurrent exacerbations and improve asthma-related outcomes compared to standard community care. This prospective randomized study will enroll 220 adult patients (18-75 years) presenting to the emergency department at Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center with an asthma exacerbation. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: 1. Intervention group - will undergo two structured remote pulmonology follow-up visits via secure video consultation within 7-21 days and 5 months after discharge, including treatment optimization, inhaler technique assessment, and self-management education. 2. Control group - will continue standard community care without additional intervention. All participants will complete scheduled follow-up assessments over 12 months, including evaluation of exacerbations, asthma control, healthcare utilization, and medication use.
