Patient Characteristics, Management, and Outcomes of Adult Asthma in a Singapore Population: Data from the SDG-CARE Asthma Registry
Health status at first asthma diagnosis improved for each succeeding cohort from 2016 to 2019, along with improvements in patient management and outcomes. This reflects greater awareness of the condition and improved use of medication and referrals in recent years, suggesting policy changes and their implementation, including promotion of disease awareness and adoption of guideline recommendations, may improve asthma outcomes in Singapore.
