Abstract
RATIONALE It is unclear how each individual asthma symptom is associated with asthma diagnosis or control. OBJECTIVES To assess the performance of individual asthma symptoms in the identification of patients with asthma and their association with asthma control. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, we assessed real-world data using the MASK-air® app. We compared the frequency of occurrence of five asthma symptoms (dyspnea, wheezing, chest tightness, fatigue and night symptoms, as assessed by the Control of Allergic Rhinitis and Asthma Test [CARAT] questionnaire) in patients with probable, possible or no current asthma. We calculated the sensitivity, specificity and predictive values of each symptom, and assessed the association between each symptom and asthma control (measured using the e-DASTHMA score). Results were validated in a sample of patients with a physician-established diagnosis of asthma. MEASUREMENT AND MAIN RESULTS We included 951 patients (2153 CARAT assessments), with 468 having probable asthma, 166 possible asthma and 317 no evidence of asthma. Wheezing displayed the highest specificity (90.5%) and positive predictive value (90.8%). In patients with probable asthma, dyspnea and chest tightness were more strongly associated with asthma control than other symptoms. Dyspnea was the symptom with the highest sensitivity (76.1%) and the one consistently associated with the control of asthma as assessed by e-DASTHMA. Consistent results were observed when assessing patients with a physician-made diagnosis of asthma. CONCLUSIONS Wheezing and chest tightness were the asthma symptoms with the highest specificity for asthma diagnosis, while dyspnea displayed the highest sensitivity and strongest association with asthma control.

Abstract
In the recent report of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) on Best Practices (BPs) for Integrating Care to Prevent and Manage Chronic Diseases, an app on rhinitis and asthma (MASK-air [Mobile Airways Sentinel networK for airway diseases]) has been listed. The OECD is a reliable source of evidence-based policy analysis and economic data largely used by governments. It has published several BPs on public health. On May 10, 2023, the OECD published 13 BPs for Integrating Care to Prevent and Manage Chronic Diseases in the European Union. The report did not cover all models of integrated care; rather, it "focuse(d) on those that are of key strategic interest to policy makers." New MASK-air studies (not published in the report) include equity, usability of the app in old-age adults, economic impact, quality of life, and allergen immunotherapy. MASK-air is freely available on iOS and Android in 30 countries and has been recently introduced in the United States. The MASK-air OECD BP represents a model of digitally enabled, patient-centered care for chronic diseases using a holistic approach of shared decision making.

Abstract
It has been shown that pollen information services are an important self-management tool for patients with pollen-related allergic rhinitis (AR) and allergic asthma (AA). This study aimed to design an online application for patients with AR and AA, which supports patients to better manage their disease as well as to evaluate the app and present the first results of the pilot study. The pollen data were obtained from the electronic pollen information network of Bavaria, Germany. Participants were asked to fill in their allergy-related complaints in the app over a 60-day period. Subsequently, the app was evaluated. Indices and diagrams visualized the participants' individual complaints as well as the daily pollen concentration in the air. In order to motivate participants to complete the app on a daily basis, we used elements of gamification. Two thirds of the participants (N = 46) reported feeling better informed about pollen counts and their allergy when using the app. The app's simple and comprehensible design was rated positively. More than 80% of the participants would recommend the app to their family and friends. The app can be a tool for patients with AR and AA to better understand their disease.

Abstract
Severe asthma is a chronic and heterogeneous disease that negatively affects the quality of life of our patients and health care utilization. Given the remaining burden of uncontrolled disease in many of these patients, better understanding of its epidemiology, disease mechanisms, effectiveness of novel therapies such as biologics are still highly needed. Asthma treatment guidelines are largely informed by randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and meta analyses of RCTs, however inclusion criteria of many efficacy RCTs of asthma treatments often exclude a high number of patients with asthma in the community. Data from real-life studies and registries of severe asthma can complement efficacy studies by not only providing evidence on how a treatment performs in everyday clinical practice, post marketing safety information, data to support subsequent clinical trial design, but also helping to delineate the natural history of a disease and supporting important translational research endeavors. In the current review, we summarise available national and international collaborative studies and registries, the variables studies and the novel data and insights they provide. The key source of information for most asthma registries are real-life data from patient's electronic health records. Advent of digital technology in collecting data and their analysis is obvious and we draw attention to generation of new knowledge from registries of severe asthma to improve current diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines and asthma control.

Int J Med Inform 2023; 179:105226. [PMID: 37742400 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijmedinf.2023.105226] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2023] [Revised: 09/16/2023] [Accepted: 09/18/2023] [Indexed: 09/26/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION In the spring of 2021, a physician-supervised application (app) "Kayumidas© - Itchy Eye Alert" was released for allergy sufferers, which implements a function to predict pollen dispersal status for each user based on weather forecasts and notify users of the results. This app provides push notifications of warning levels of itchiness and other symptoms, countermeasures, and the time to use medication. However, no evaluation has been conducted to determine whether the use of app improves compliance with treatment. This study aimed to verify whether the use of a smartphone app is effective in relieving the symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis and rhinitis and how it changes patients' eye drop behavior. METHODS This was an investigator-initiated, observational, prospective cohort study that was conducted between February 2022 and May 2022. In 62 patients diagnosed with allergic conjunctivitis, the scores of nine subjective eye and nose symptoms (1-4) and eye itchiness (1-7) before and after using the app were compared using a questionnaire. The adherence scores for eye drops (1-4) were also investigated using a questionnaire. RESULTS The scores for all five ocular subjective symptoms and all four nasal subjective symptoms improved significantly after app use (p < 0.01). Both itching scores (4.1 ± 1.1 vs. 1.6 ± 0.5, p < 0.01) and eye drop compliance scores (2.0 ± 0.7 vs. 3.9 ± 0.3, p < 0.01) improved significantly after app use. CONCLUSION The use of the Kayumidas© app improved adherence to eye drops and the subjective symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis and rhinitis. Thus, app use effectively improves symptoms by changing behavior and improving self-care awareness regarding treatment in patients with allergic diseases.

Abstract
MASK-air® , a validated mHealth app (Medical Device regulation Class IIa) has enabled large observational implementation studies in over 58,000 people with allergic rhinitis and/or asthma. It can help to address unmet patient needs in rhinitis and asthma care. MASK-air® is a Good Practice of DG Santé on digitally-enabled, patient-centred care. It is also a candidate Good Practice of OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development). MASK-air® data has enabled novel phenotype discovery and characterisation, as well as novel insights into the management of allergic rhinitis. MASK-air® data show that most rhinitis patients (i) are not adherent and do not follow guidelines, (ii) use as-needed treatment, (iii) do not take medication when they are well, (iv) increase their treatment based on symptoms and (v) do not use the recommended treatment. The data also show that control (symptoms, work productivity, educational performance) is not always improved by medications. A combined symptom-medication score (ARIA-EAACI-CSMS) has been validated for clinical practice and trials. The implications of the novel MASK-air® results should lead to change management in rhinitis and asthma.
