Summary

This trial is testing whether notifying asthma specialists when a patient has an uncontrolled asthma event, and providing recommended interventions, will improve asthma control compared to standard care.

Who is the study for?
The RIDUNA trial is for people aged 12-56 with asthma who've been on inhaled corticosteroids and have uncontrolled symptoms. They should have used a quick-relief inhaler frequently or had repeated need for oral steroids due to severe flare-ups, indicating poor asthma control.
What is being tested?
This study tests if notifying both patients and specialists in real-time about uncontrolled asthma events leads to better management compared to usual care. It's based on following national guidelines right after identifying these events through electronic records.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves communication and potential changes in treatment rather than new medications, there are no direct side effects from the trial itself. However, adjustments in medication may carry their own risks.
