Abstract
Early initiation of inhaled controllers after discharge from an asthma-related hospitalization was associated with significantly better long-term adherence to controller medications as well as reduced rate of readmissions. Combination therapy with ICS/LABA seems to be at least as effective as mono-therapy with ICS in reducing the risk of readmission, with the added benefit of better long-term adherence.
