The Effect of Asthma Flare-up Clinic After Exacerbation
Sponsor: Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center
Summary
The goal of this interventional study is to examine the effect of asthma flare-up clinic follow-up in adult subjects after an asthma flare-up. This study aim to answer the following questions: 1. Does a follow-up in a flare-up clinic improves disease outcomes? 2. Does a follow-up in a flare-up clinic improves disease management? Participants in the intervention group will take part in a structured follow-up at the asthma flare-up clinic at three time points. Each visit will include questionnaires, pulmonologist examination and consultation, laboratory tests and spirometry. The control group will undergo phone-call follow-up with a research coordinator in similar time frames as the intervention. Researchers will compare the two groups to see if the clinic follow-up affects the study outcomes.
