Abstract

Background: The discontinuation of normal respiration functions is the top pediatric health issue worldwide and keeps rising in frequency and increasing its therapeutic requirements. New guidelines emphasize early stage diagnosis for effective detection together with individualized treatment methods and protective measures to optimize treatment results and minimize respiratory attacks.

Objectives: This study evaluated the impact of evidence-based asthma treatment guidelines on therapeutic success, sustained disease stability, and quality of life in pediatric asthma patients. Using a prospective cohort design, we analyzed guideline adherence in relation to three primary outcomes.

Study design: A prospective cohort study.

Place and duration of study. Department of Pediatric Medical Teaching Institute Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar from 07-jan 2023 to 07-jan 2024

Methods: This prospective cohort study evaluated 200 pediatric asthma patients managed under novel treatment protocols. Data collection included demographic characteristics, clinical histories, spirometry results, and therapeutic records. Primary outcomes (asthma exacerbation frequency, hospitalization rates, and symptom control) were monitored over a 24-month follow-up period. Statistical analyses were performed with significance defined as p < 0.05."

Results: 200 patients  mean age 9.2 years (SD 2.4). After annual exacerbation rates decreased from 3.4 to 1.6 (p<0.001), results displayed extraordinary control of symptoms. A statistically significant decline in healthcare admission rates occurred between groups from 20% down to 8% as indicated by statistical significance at p=0.002. Patients undergoing combination treatment therapy showed improved lung functioning abilities better than those on single-drug therapy (p<0.05). Medical records monitored through the program showed students experienced superior quality of life outcomes accompanied by fewer school absences.

Conclusion: Following pediatric asthma guidelines leads to better medical outcomes together with reduced disease activity and enhanced long-term patient health status. Effective sustainable control requires early identification of conditions followed by tailoring individual treatment approaches.
