Clinical, functional and inflammatory evaluation in asthmatic patients after a simple short-term educational program: a randomized trial
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the clinical evolution, functional parameters and inflammatory activity of asthma in patients who submitted to an educational intervention. 58 adult patients over 18 years of age with partly controlled and uncontrolled asthma were randomized into an intervention...
