Turkish Thoracic Society asthma management and prevention guideline: key points

Öz:

Astım, dünyada ve ülkemizde patogenez, tanı ve tedavisinde tüm ilerlemelere rağmen morbiditesi ve maliyeti yüksek bir hastalıktır. Doğru tanı ve tedavi ile kontrol altına alınabilen bir hastalık olmasına rağmen dünyada ve ülkemizde belirlenen düşük kontrol oranları sadece hastalığın değişken seyrine ve hastaların psikososyal kronik hastalık davranışına bağlanamaz. Bu bağlamda, Türk Toraks Derneği de en son 2000 yılında yayınladığı “Astım Tanı ve Tedavi Rehberi”ni güncelleme kararı almıştır. Ülkemizin verileri toplanmış, konu ile ilgili eğitimcilerden oluşturulan yazarlar tarafından kanıta dayalı bilgiler derlenerek hazırlanmış ve Türk Toraks Derneği Astım ve Allerji Çalışma Grubu tarafından son şekli verilerek, danışman kişi ve kurumlara sunulmuştur. Haziran 2009 tarihinde Türk Toraks Derneği “Astım Tanı ve Tedavi Rehberi” Türkçe olarak yayınlanmıştır. Bu derlemede ulusal rehberin temel özellikleri ve diğerlerinden farkları İngilizce olarak sunulmaktadır.

Öz:

Asthma still has high morbidity and cost despite all advances in pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment. Although asthma can be controlled with proper diagnosis and treatment, the low rates of control in our country and in the world can not be attributed to the variable course of the disease and patients’ psycho-social behaviours for chronic disease. In this context, Turkish Thoracic Society (TTS) has decided to update Asthma Diagnosis and Management Guide latest published in 2000. National data were collected, compiled and prepared by authors, and final form given by the TTS Asthma and Allergy Study Group, after presenting to consultant individuals and institutions. In June 2009, the National Asthma Management and Prevention Guideline were published in Turkish. In this paper, we aimed to present the national guide in English with its basics and individual differences.
