Abstract

Background: Asthma is a common chronic respiratory disease affecting all age groups, impacting 1-18% of the population depending on the country, and is a global health issue. In Vietnam, the average incidence of asthma is recorded at about 3,9% of the population, equivalent to about 4 million people infected and taking the lives of 3000-4000 people/year. Objectives: (1) To describe the clinical and paraclinical characteristics of asthma patients. (2) To evaluate the outcomes of asthma control after 3 months and some related factors. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 40 asthma patients being treated at the Respiratory Clinic, Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital. Results: Among the 40 patients participating in the study, there were 22 (55%) male and 18 (45%) female patients, with an average age of 53.03 ± 15.611. The prevalence of symptoms was cough (72.5%), wheezing (70%), shortness of breath (65%), and chest tightness (17.5%). The respiratory indices FVC% (86.10 ± 13.50), FEV1 % (74.43 ± 15.78), and FEV1/FVC (0.685 ± 0.0796). The rate of complete control was 72.5%, partial control 25%, and uncontrolled 2.5%.  Gender and the method of using inhalers were factors related to incomplete asthma control. Conclusion: Asthma control is a process that requires coordination between the physician and the patient. Assessing symptoms, treatment issues, and adherence to inhaler use contributes to preventing symptoms, improving quality of life, and improving unwanted outcomes in the future.
