A method to assess adherence in inhaler use through analysis of acoustic recordings of inhaler events.
<h4>Rationale</h4>Poor adherence to inhaler use can be due to poor temporal and/or technique adherence. Up until now there has been no way of reliably tracking both these factors in everyday inhaler use.<h4>Objectives</h4>This paper introduces a device developed to create tim...

The correlation between clinical outcomes and adherence, as determined by this device, was compared for temporal adherence alone and combined temporal and technique adherence.<h4>Findings</h4>The technology was validated by showing that the doses taken matched the number of audio recordings (r2 = 0.94, p<0.01). To demonstrate that audio analysis of inhaler use gives objective information, in vitro studies were performed. These showed that acoustic profiles of inhalations correlated with the peak inspiratory flow rate (r2 = 0.97, p<0.01), and that the acoustic energy of exhalations into the inhaler was related to the amount of drug removed. Despite training, 16% of participants exhaled into the mouthpiece after priming, in >20% of their inhaler events. Repeated training reduced this to 7% of participants (p = 0.03). When time of use was considered, there was no evidence of a relationship between adherence and changes in AQLQ (r2 = 0.2) or PEFR (r2 = 0.2). Combining time and technique the rate of adherence was related to changes in AQLQ (r2 = 0.53, p = 0.01) and PEFR (r2 = 0.29, p = 0.01).<h4>Conclusions</h4>This study presents a novel method to objectively assess how errors in both time and technique of inhaler use impact on clinical outcomes.<h4>Trial registration</h4>EudraCT 2011-004149-42.Shona D'ArcyElaine MacHaleJansen SeheultMartin S HolmesCian HughesImran SulaimanDeirdre HylandConor O'ReillySenan GlynnThekra Al-ZaabiJohn McCourtTerence TaylorFrank KeaneIsabelle KillaneRichard B ReillyRichard W CostelloPublic Library of Science (PLoS)articleMedicineRScienceQENPLoS ONE, Vol 9, Iss 6, p e98701 (2014) |
