As the series title implies each Clinician's Desk Reference is a
practical resource and a daily aid for physicians in the hospital
setting and in primary care. Asthma is one of the most important
chronic disorders in the developed world. Evidence from around the
world shows the prevalence of asthma has increased considerably
since 1975, and now affects around 7.2% of the world population
(about 100 million individuals). In the UK asthma is now the most
common chronic disease affecting all age groups with approximately
11% of the population being diagnosed as having asthma at some time
in their lives. Understanding of the basic mechanisms involved in
the pathogenesis of asthma has improved dramatically over the past
20 years. Along with this increase in basic scientific knowledge,
randomized clinical trials have produced evidence to guide
clinicians in how to manage patients with asthma. The book covers
epidemiology, diagnosis and management, and takes a look at future
developments. The authors highlight the under diagnosis of
occupational asthma and emphasize the importance of effective
patient education, particularly asthma action plans. There are ten
clinical cases dealing with common diagnostic and management
problems, frequently asked questions and appendices containing
resources for patients and clinicians including useful websites,
information leaflets and major references.
