The aim of this study is to evaluate adherence to inhaler therapy in asthmatic patients and examine drug-related factors affecting medication adherence among Egyptian asthma patients. The study was carried out among 110 clinically diagnosed asthma patients attending at a university hospital, Sohag, Egypt. Inhaler criteria and adherence were evaluated by a standardized tool “Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS), 2008.” The study revealed that out of 110 patients, 42.2% had a high level, 22.9% had medium level, and 34.9% had a low level of medication adherence. There was no relationship between demographic data and medication adherence in asthmatic patients. However, good adherence was frequently encountered among asthmatic patients who used inhaler twice daily, who used drugs its onset of action 5-20 min, who used aerolizer and turbo haler devices, and who used budesonide and budesonide/formoterol. Poor adherence to inhaler therapy is high in patients with bronchial asthma attending Sohag University Hospital in Upper Egypt. There was a strong relationship between inhaled drug criteria and degree of adherence in asthmatic patients.

影响埃及哮喘患者药物依从性的药物相关因素

这项研究的目的是评估哮喘患者对吸入疗法的依从性，并检查影响埃及依从性的药物相关因素。这项研究是在埃及Sohag一家大学医院的110名经临床诊断的哮喘患者中进行的。吸入器的标准和依从性是通过标准化工具“ Morisky药物依从度表（MMAS），2008”进行评估的。研究显示，在110名患者中，药物依从性较高的患者为42.2％，中度为22.9％，中度为34.9％。哮喘患者的人口统计学数据与药物依从性之间没有关系。但是，每天使用两次吸入器，使用起效时间5-20分钟的药物的哮喘患者经常会遇到良好的依从性，谁使用了气雾化器和涡轮增压器设备，谁使用了布地奈德和布地奈德/福莫特罗。在上埃及Sohag大学医院就诊的支气管哮喘患者对吸入治疗的依从性差。哮喘患者的吸入药物标准与依从性之间存在密切关系。
