Elizabeth Azzi at the University of Sydney, Australia, and co-workers further add evidence that there is a strong behavioral component to patients retaining correct inhaler technique over time. Poor inhaler technique can limit asthma control, affecting quality of life and increasing the chances of severe exacerbations. Azzi’s team followed 238 patients to determine the key predictors of inhaler technique maintenance from factors including age, asthma knowledge and perceived future risks. Correct inhaler technique at initial assessment was the strongest predictor of long-term success, but this was strengthened further when patients reported good adherence to their own medication regimen. This suggests that maintaining correct inhaler technique is more than just a physical skill. Careful guidance towards this ‘practice makes perfect’ approach may improve patients’ long-term technique maintenance.Elizabeth AzziPamela SrourCarol ArmourCynthia RandSinthia Bosnic-AnticevichNature PortfolioarticleDiseases of the respiratory systemRC705-779ENnpj Primary Care Respiratory Medicine, Vol 27, Iss 1, Pp 1-6 (2017)
