| description | Introduction
Asthma and COPD management have a broad framework, and smoking
cessation plays an essential role. We examine the management of asthma and
COPD patients not only for inhaler treatment options but also for essential
interventions, such as smoking cessation support.
Methods
Data were collected cross-sectionally from pulmonology departments of
three government hospitals in Türkiye between May and September 2022. Patients aged ≥18 years who had been diagnosed with asthma or COPD for at least a year, were included in the study. The demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients were investigated. Routine cessation interventions were implemented for current smokers, and they were followed via phone calls after one month regarding their quit status and access to cessation clinics.
Results
Data from 145 patients with asthma and 148 patients with COPD were
analyzed. The rate of current smoking among patients with asthma and COPD
was 18.8% and 34.5%, respectively. Current smoking was negatively associated
with age (<65 years) and disease duration (years) for both diseases (p<0.05). In
addition, for asthmatics, presence of pulmonary disease in the family (OR:0.28,
95% CI: 0.10-0.79) and for COPD patients presence of hospitalization (OR: 0.26,
95% CI: 0.07-0.93) were negatively associated with current smoking. After one
month, 85.1% of current asthmatic smokers had not tried to call a quitline, while
14.8% had tried to contact a quitline. Among current smoker COPD patients, only
1.9% had visited a smoking cessation clinic.
Conclusions
Tobacco cessation support seems to be neglected in asthma and COPD
management. Instead, pulmonologists and patients focus on pharmaceutical
treatments, which constitute the other component of care. |
