- Astma och KOL (kroniskt obstruktiv lungsjukdom) har blivit allt vanligare, och möjligheterna till både korrekt diagnos och förbättrad behandling har ökat under det senaste decenniet, vilket ställer nya krav på hälso- och sjukvården. Korrekt diagnos, adekvat patientutbildning och rökslutarstöd är högt prioriterade åtgärder. Ett strukturerat omhändertagande med en välfungerande astma/KOL-mottagning i primärvården underlättar och förbättrar vården av denna stora patientgrupp. I artikeln föreslås nya kriterier för astma/KOL-mottagningar i primärvård.

- OBJECTIVES AND DESIGN: Health-related quality of life (QoL) instruments are generally used for studies of asthma in specialized settings. For primary care use, there is a need for brief and simple questionnaires for structured patient-reported outcomes. We validated the Mini-Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (Mini-AQLQ), using the Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire with standardized activities (AQLQ[S]) as the "gold standard." The Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) was validated against the symptoms domain of the AQLQ(S). Patients were characterized by the Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36). SUBJECTS: One hundred eight patients (68 women) with asthma diagnosed by their physicians from 24 primary care centers completed two visits (2 to 3 months apart). Their mean SF-36 scores were lower than the national norm for all domains. RESULTS: The Mini-AQLQ and ACQ correlated well with the AQLQ(S). Reliability, determined in 57 patients with stable AQLQ(S) scores, was good. Both brief questionnaires detected improvement or deterioration of patients at the group level. Global ratings of disease severity by patients or clinicians correlated poorly with disease-specific QoL scores. CONCLUSIONS: The Mini-AQLQ and ACQ instruments are sufficiently simple and robust to be suitable for research and quality of care monitoring in primary care at the group level. They may, after further validation, even be useful in the management of individual patients.

- Aim: In Sweden, paediatricians or general practitioners treat most adolescents with asthma. This study compares management, treatment goals and quality of life for adolescents aged 15-18 y in paediatric or primary care. Material and methods: A random sample of patients answered a disease-specific and a quality-of-life (MiniAQLQ) questionnaire. Results: The 146 adolescents in paediatric care had more years with asthma, better continuity of annual surveillance, higher use of inhaled steroids and a stated better knowledge of their asthma than the 174 patients in primary care. No difference could be detected in asthma control or quality of life. Of all 320 adolescents, approximately 20% had woken at night due to asthma symptoms during the last week. About 15% had made unscheduled, urgent care visits and a third had used short-acting beta-agonist relievers more than twice a week. Quality-of-life scores were high and similar in both settings. Conclusions: Swedish adolescents with asthma are managed and treated somewhat differently in paediatric and primary care but with equal and, for the most part, satisfying results. The difference between the two settings probably reflects both differences in severity of asthma and different treatment traditions. For all adolescents, better fulfilment of goals regarding symptoms and exacerbations would be desirable, whereas a good quality of life including normal physical activity seems to have been achieved.
