Construction of a Combined Cough and Asthma Pharmacy Clinics Service Mode Based on Medication Management and Evaluation of Its Effectiveness
Objective:To explore the service model and application effectiveness of combined cough and asthma pharmacy clinics service.Methods:Relevant data of 304 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who were treated from 1 February 2023 to 30 June 2024 were collected and retrospectively analyzed.The effects of gender,age,smoking history,animal keeping and occupational exposure on the severity of the disease[chronic obstructive pulmonary disease assessment test (CAT) score,modified medical research council (mMRC) score and Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) score]were evaluated.The disease control (CAT score),inhalant medication accuracy (inhaler use score) and medication compliance[Morisky medication adherence scale (MMAS-8) score]were compared before and after pharmacy service intervention.Results:Among the five indicators of sex,age,smoking history,animal keeping and occupational exposure,age had significant effects on CAT score and mMRC classification (P<0.05),and dust exposure had significant effects on mMRC classification and GOLD classification (P<0.05).After the intervention,the scores of inhalation device use and MMAS-8 were significantly higher than those before the intervention,while the CAT score was lower (P<0.05).Conclusion:The combined cough and asthma pharmacy clinics service can provide high-efficient pharmaceutical care for patients with a feasible and valuable working mode.
