Description:
Asthma is one the most prevalent non-communicable chronic disease among children and adults in Malaysia. It is, however, neglected. Most patients have poor knowledge about asthma and despite the availability of effective treatment, asthma control is reported to be unsatisfactory. Disease management and prevention is suboptimal and has an impact on the economic burden. As not much is known about what actually contributes to poor asthma control in our region, improving understanding on factors related to disease burden could contribute significantly to improved asthma morbidity. The aim of this project is to develop a cohort of adults and children with asthma in Klang district in Malaysia to enable epidemiology, disease management and economic burden of asthma to be studied and interventions directed at patients and health care practice level to be carried out to improve asthma care.
