The aim of this study was to survey the self-assessment to the treatment of adult bronchial asthmatics in Saitama prefecture. A questionnaire on daily symptoms and medications was distributed to 2825 adult asthmatic subjects who were treated at 125 hospitals/clinics in Saitama prefecture between September 15th and October 30th 1998. More than half (52.7%) of patients described that their general condition of asthma was poorly controlled. Even among the patients described that their condition was good or fair, 30.2% of them had some asthmatic symptoms such as shortness of breath or nocturnal awakening. Although inhaled corticosteroids were used in 66.2%, the ratio of patients who used spacer and kept drug compliance as prescribed were 59.6% and 45.8%, respectively. According to the physician's reports, cysteinyl leukotriene antagonist was used in 35.7%, which was comparable to the total of another anti-allergic drugs (37.3%). These results suggest that more than half of asthmatic patients in Saitama prefecture were not satisfied with their conditions of the disease control. Furthermore, more thorough education on the technique and compliance of inhaled corticosteroids would be required.
