Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?The purpose of Reduce IDentified UNcontrolled Asthma (RIDUNA) is to determine the benefit of real-time identification of uncontrolled asthma by electronic administrative records linked to real-time notification of uncontrolled status to patients and asthma specialists with recommended guideline directed intervention by physicians. The investigators hypothesize that real-time outreach following National guideline asthma care recommendations, after real-time identification of an uncontrolled asthma event in persistent asthmatics on inhaled corticosteroids will lead to better improvements in asthma control (impairment and risk) compared to standard asthma care outreach.

Eligibility Criteria

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.

Inclusion Criteria

My asthma has been uncontrolled in the past year.

I have used an inhaled corticosteroid in the last 6 months.

I have either used 7 asthma relief inhalers recently or had 2 steroid treatments for asthma attacks.
