Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study examined whether the Pediatric Asthma Control and Communication Instrument for the Emergency Department (PACCI-ED), a 12-item questionnaire, can help doctors in the emergency department accurately assess a child's asthma control.

This study involved an intervention with the doctors in the emergency department of an urban pediatric hospital. The intervention was done when one of the doctors involved in the study treated a child aged 1-17 years for an asthma exacerbation. Parents answered questions on the PACCI-ED about their children's asthma. Half of the doctors were allowed to see the PACCI-ED results and half were not. The two groups of doctors were compared on their ability to correctly identify asthma control categories, whether a child's asthma was worsening or improving, whether the family was administering controller medications as often as they should, and how much burden the child's asthma was for the family.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

PACCI-ED

PACCI-ED attendings were given the PACCI-ED use intervention.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

PACCI-ED use

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Attending physicians were allowed to view the patient's PACCI-ED prior to completing the assessment form. Attendings were told at the time of the child's ED visit that the PACCI-ED is used to assess a child's asthma control and medication adherence, and that they could use it to complete the outcomes assessment form.

Control

Control attendings were not given the PACCI-ED use intervention.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
