 In this study, researchers examined the trend and predictors of specialist contacts among young adults with asthma who have used oral corticosteroids. They found that the frequency of specialist contacts increased from 6.3% in 1999 to 18% in 2017. Factors associated with incident specialist contacts included dispensing greater than or equal to 12 short-acting agonists and previous asthma-related emergency department visits and hospitalizations. Additionally, most oral corticosteroid prescriptions were prescribed by general practitioners, but this proportion has been decreasing over time. These findings suggest that there may be room for improvement in the patient referral pathway for at-risk asthma patients.
