Integrated care pathways for airway diseases (AIRWAYS-ICPs)
2014
International audience; The objective of Integrated Care Pathways for Airway Diseases (AIRWAYS-ICPs) is to launch a collaboration to develop multi-sectoral care pathways for chronic respiratory diseases in European countries and regions. AIRWAYS-ICPs has strategic relevance to the European Union Health Strategy and will add value to existing public health knowledge by: 1) proposing a common framework of care pathways for chronic respiratory diseases, which will facilitate comparability and trans-national initiatives; 2) informing cost-effective policy development, strengthening in particular those on smoking and environmental exposure; 3) aiding risk stratification in chronic disease patien…
THU0349 A Double-Blind, Randomised, Parallel Group, Active Controlled, Multicentre Study to Assess the Therapeutic Non-Inferiority of Skp-021, A 0.3%…
2014
Background NSAIDs are the first choice for management of acute musculoskeletal pain. Acute musculoskeletal pain is often associated with trauma, surgery, musculoskeletal injuries like strains, sprains and over-use injuries Objectives The primary study endpoint was the estimate of the non-inferiority of the Test drug (Ketoprofen) vs. the Reference drug (Diclofenac). This was performed by assessment of the proportion of responders (response: 50% or more reduction of baseline VAS % (95%CI) at the end of treatment) in the two treatment groups. Methods This phase III, randomised, blinded, active-control and non-inferiority study involved 697 adults with acute muskuloskeletal pain. Participants w…
Asthma control in severe asthmatics under treatment with omalizumab: A cross-sectional observational study in Italy
2015
Few data are available on the proportion of asthmatics achieving a good asthma control (according GINA guidelines) and on the level of airway inflammation during omalizumab treatment. The aim of this cross-sectional national observational study was to assess the level of control (according to GINA guidelines) achieved in a group of asthmatics on omalizumab treatment, and to characterize the factors that influence the lack of control. We studied 306 asthmatics under omalizumab treatment for a median of 32 months (range 4-120). The level of control according to GINA was good in 25.2%, partial in 47.1% and poor in 24.5% of patients (data were missing for the remaining 3.2%). Comparison between…
