| Popis: | P78 Figure 1ConclusionThis electronic system re-vitalised the use of PEF in our asthma clinic;it is paper-light, patient-friendly and has increased our PEF diary responses, without additional cost or the requirement of a smart-phone. An average daily diurnal PEF variability >10% is valuable for the diagnosis of asthma and to assess asthma control. We continue to utilise PEF and have shared this resource across our local asthma networks. This is also likely to be beneficial in primary care to support annual asthma reviews and the requirement for at least two confirmatory diagnostic tests in the 2020/2021 NHS Quality and Outcomes Framework. |
