Poor compliance with clinical practice guidelines in the management of asthma in primary care in the community of Madrid.

Introduction: Asthma is a common chronic disease in the paediatric age group that requires close follow-up. Clinical practice guidelines offer evidence-based recommendations to achieve adequate control of the disease.

Objective: To assess the management of childhood asthma in the primary care setting in the Community of Madrid, and the adherence of health care professionals to guideline recommendations.

Impact of treatment adherence and inhalation technique on asthma outcomes of pediatric patients: a longitudinal study.

We aimed to evaluate the longitudinal relationships, both at between- and within-person levels, that adherence to inhaled corticosteroid-based maintenance treatment and inhalation technique present with symptom control, exacerbations, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in children and adolescents with asthma. Participants (6-14 years old) from the ARCA (Asthma Research in Children and Adolescents) cohort-a prospective, multicenter, observational study (NCT04480242)-were followed for a period from 6 months to 5 years via computer-assisted telephone interviews and a smartphone application. The Medication Intake Survey-Asthma (MIS-A) was administered to assess the implementation stage of adherence, and the Inhalation Technique Questionnaire (InTeQ) was used to assess the five key steps when using an inhaler.

GEMA 5.3. Spanish Guideline on the Management of Asthma.

The Spanish Guideline on the Management of Asthma, better known by its acronym in Spanish GEMA, has been available for more than 20 years. Twenty-one scientific societies or related groups both from Spain and internationally have participated in the preparation and development of the updated edition of GEMA, which in fact has been currently positioned as the reference guide on asthma in the Spanish language worldwide. Its objective is to prevent and improve the clinical situation of people with asthma by increasing the knowledge of healthcare professionals involved in their care.

Montelukast in paediatric asthma and allergic rhinitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: We aim to assess the impact of montelukast on paediatric patients with asthma/allergic rhinitis, measured using patient-reported outcome measures, compared with other treatments or placebo.

Methods: Protocol registration CRD42020216098 (www.crd.

Measurement properties of the EQ-5D-Y administered through a smartphone app in children with asthma: a longitudinal questionnaire study.

Background: Asthma impacts children's physical, emotional, and psychosocial Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQL). The EQ-5D-Y is a generic econometric instrument developed to measure HRQL in children.

Objective: Evaluation of feasibility, validity, reliability, and responsiveness of EQ-5D-Y descriptive system and utility index to allow the assessment of HRQL in children with asthma, aged 8-11 years (self-response version) or under 8 years old (proxy-response version).

[Clinical Practice Guide for Anaphylaxis in Latin America (Galaxia-Latam)].

Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction with a rapid onset and it is potentially life-threatening. Its clinical manifestations are varied; they may affect the skin, the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system, and the digestive system, among others. The treatment of choice, which is an intra-muscular injection of epinephrine (adrenaline), must be applied promptly.

Criteria heterogeneity in the diagnosis of acute bronchiolitis in Spain.

Introduction: Acute viral bronchiolitis (AB) is one of the most common respiratory diseases in infants. However, diagnostic criteria for AB are heterogeneous and not very well known.

Objective: To identify the diagnostic criteria for AB used by experts and clinical paediatricians in Spain.

[Criteria heterogeneity in the diagnosis of acute bronchiolitis in Spain].

Introduction: Acute viral bronchiolitis (AB) is one of the most common respiratory diseases in infants. However, diagnostic criteria for AB are heterogeneous and not very well known.

Objective: To identify the diagnostic criteria for AB used by experts and clinical paediatricians in Spain.

Looking beyond patients: Can parents' quality of life predict asthma control in children?

Background: Social and family factors may influence the probability of achieving asthma control in children. Parents' quality of life has been insufficiently explored as a predictive factor linked to the probability of achieving disease control in asthmatic children.

Objective: Determine whether the parents' quality of life predicts medium-term asthma control in children.

Effects of fine particles on children's hospital admissions for respiratory health in Seville, Spain.

Unlabelled: This study analyzes the influence of fine particles PM2.5 on nonprogrammed children's hospital admissions that occurred in the city of Seville between 2007 and 2011, and makes an economic assessment of the cost of the children's hospital admissions for respiratory causes due to particle pollution. The PM2.

Association between quality of life in parents and components of asthma control in children.

Objective: Describe the association between parents' quality of life and the two components of asthma control in children: impairment and risk.

Methods: Cross-sectional study with children between 4 and 14 years of age with active asthma recruited at primary care centers in Spain. Asthma control was assessed according to the Third National Asthma Expert Panel Report, classifying "impairment" in three levels (well-controlled asthma, partially controlled, and poorly controlled), and "risk" as high or low.

Growth monitoring: a survey of current practices of primary care paediatricians in Europe.

Objective: We aimed to study current practices in growth monitoring by European primary care paediatricians and to explore their perceived needs in this field.

Methods: We developed a cross-sectional, anonymous on-line survey and contacted primary care paediatricians listed in national directories in the 18 European countries with a confederation of primary care paediatricians. Paediatricians participated in the survey between April and September 2011.
