The research question
Which daily circumstances accompany poor reported asthma control or difficulty following treatment?
Proposed design
Prospective symptom and medication diary with periodic validated control measures and optional device data.
Illustrative design: 8- to 12-week diary; setup and recruitment are scoped separately.
Data to collect
- Breathlessness, wheeze and night waking
- Reported maintenance and rescue inhaler use
- Activity limits and potential exposures
- Care contacts and reported exacerbations
Planned outputs
- Control and symptom trajectories
- Reported adherence barriers
- Diary and device concordance where available
What we confirm with you
We agree the population, sample size, country, collection tools, analysis plan and budget. Collection starts after the required consent, ethics or other permissions and a signed scope are in place.
- Agree a clinical escalation pathway for severe symptoms
- Verify any inhaler or peak-flow integration
- Confirm exacerbations through records when used as clinical endpoints
Clinical records, laboratory results, photographs and device integrations are included only when access, collection quality and permitted use have been verified. Self-reported findings are identified as such.
