Yoo EJ, Most JF, Lee NL, et al. - Considering that self-management education can be effective in reducing the unpredictable asthma exacerbations during pregnancy, researchers conducted this study examining the influence of an integrated subspecialty intervention, which consisted of education and monitoring, on asthma control among underserved women in an antenatal clinic setting. In this prospective cohort study, they assessed pregnant asthmatics participating in a subspecialty clinic integrated into routine prenatal care. A total of 85 women were enrolled; 53 of these (62.4%) returned for at least one follow-up visit. Per findings, urban women seeking routine obstetrical care commonly present with uncontrolled asthma. Significant improvement in asthma control was evident even with one interventional visit. In this underserved population, the quality of asthma care during pregnancy may improve by undertaking further investigation into mechanisms for optimizing treatment strategies.
