Jang H, et al. - As less is known about the effects of glucocorticoid timing on the asthma drug sequence administered, researchers studied the distribution of asthma medication sequences in one ED and analyzed the influence of glucocorticoid sequence placement on treatment outcomes. Using five-year electronic health record data obtained from an academic urban children’s hospital ED, a retrospective study was conducted. In total, 4,844 encounters were involved in the investigation. Data reported that the ten most common treatment sequences accounted for 43% of all encounters. The authors discovered that the earlier sequence placement of glucocorticoids administration is linked to improved outcomes by analyzing medication sequence patterns for the ED encounter of pediatric asthma. The findings can help inform the improvement of quality and the development of clinical guidelines related to children's ED asthma care.
