Abstract Background Asthma control and monitoring still represents a challenge worldwide. Although the international guidelines suggest the interplay between secondary and primary care services as an effective strategy to control the disease, community pharmacies’ are seldom involved in asthma control assessment. The present cross-sectional study aimed at providing a picture of the relationship between asthma severity and control in community pharmacies within the health district of the city of Verona (Veneto Region, North-Eastern Italy). Methods A call for participation was launched through the Pharmacists’ Association of Verona. Patients referring to the participating pharmacies with an anti-asthmatic drug medical prescription and an asthma exemption code were asked to complete the Asthma Control Test (ACT) and a brief questionnaire collecting information on their age, sex, smoking status, aerobic physical exercise and usual asthma therapy, which also defined asthma severity. A multinomial logistic regression model was fitted to investigate the risk of uncontrolled as well as poorly controlled vs. controlled asthma (base). Results were expressed as relative risk ratios (RRR) with 95% confidence interval (95%CI). Results Fifty-seven community pharmacies accepted to participate and 584 asthmatic patients (54% females; mean-age: 51 ± 19 years) were consecutively recruited from 1st January to 30th June 2018 (6 months). Based upon ACT score 50.5% patients had a controlled asthma, 22.3% a poorly controlled and 27.2% uncontrolled. A variable proportion of patients with uncontrolled asthma were observed for every level of severity, although more frequently with mild persistent form of asthma. Most patients (92%) self-reported regular compliance with therapy. At multinomial regression analysis, patients under regular asthma treatment course (RRR = 0.33; 95%CI: 0.15; 0.77) were less likely to have an ACT< 16 compared to those not taking medications regularly. Conclusions Overall, our findings highlighted an unsatisfactory asthma control in the general population, independently of the severity level of the disease. Community pharmacies could be a useful frontline interface between patients and the health care services, supporting an effective asthma management plan, from disease assessment and monitoring treatment compliance to referral of patients to specialist medical consultancies.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common congenital neurological disorder. The etiological and the risk factors are many and an awareness of the interplay of multiple factors in the causation is crucial. The aim of the study is to investigate the clinical prole and risk factors of CP children in and around Chidambaram. A retrospective cross sectional study was conducted in the Division of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Rajah Muthiah Medical College and Hospital, Chidambaram. Seventy clinically diagnosed CP children were enrolled and clinical prole and history were retrieved from the case sheets and the parents of CP children. The result shows that out of 70 CP children 53% of males and 47% of females were found. The anthropometric measurements like height and weight of the CP children were found lower than the normal. Among 70 children spastic type of CP was the most common, Athetoid type (5.7%) and ataxic type (5.7%) are the least common type. This study concluded that neonatal care services in Chidambaram should be reviewed to get more attention which helps to promote early intervention and rehabilitation of CP children.
