✅ Electronic health record data analysis on the impact of rescue-triggered inhaled corticosteroids on controller therapy in Black and Latinx individuals from a pragmatic, open-label, patient-level randomised trial

Health

Objective The Person Empowered Asthma Relief (PREPARE) study found that as-needed inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) supplementation combined with participants’ usual controller and rescue therapy reduced asthma exacerbations for Black and Hispanic/Latinx individuals. We aimed to determine whether treatment assignment to the intervention group (Patient Activated Reliever-Triggered ICS (PARTICS)) versus the control group (usual care) influenced controller therapy based on clinicians’ written prescriptions. Design Secondary data analysis of electronic health record data of a pragmatic, open-label, patient-level randomised trial. Setting Practices treating asthma. Participants PREPARE study participants— Black and Hispanic/Latinx individuals with asthma. Interventions Effects of adding ICS to rescue therapy among black and Hispanic adults with moderate-to-severe asthma.
