简要总结
In England and Wales, unscheduled care for school-aged children with asthma significantly increases after their return to school in September, a trend linked with decreased asthma preventer prescriptions during the summer holidays. The PLEASANT study found that a reminder letter from GPs to parents of children with asthma led to a 30% increase in prescription uptake during August and reduced unscheduled medical visits from September to December.
The TRAINS trial will now assess if informing GPs of PLEASANT findings would lead to its implementation. This pragmatic cluster randomised implementation trial will use routine data from Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD).
