摘要

Background Notwithstanding unequivocal consensus on the disproportionate effect of severe asthma (SA) on asthma morbidity, healthcare utilization, quality of life, work impairment and socioeconomic burden, the burden of SA patients in Singapore has not been appraised. Objectives To determine the burden of disease and extent of quality of life impairment in SA patients in Singapore. Methods A cross-sectional analysis of SA patients seen in Singapore General Hospital (2020-2021) to investigate emergency healthcare utilization, oral corticosteroid (OCS) burden and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) with primary endpoint EuroQoL-5 Dimension three-level (EQ-5D-3L) scores. The empirical measurement properties of the EQ-5D utility index in SA were comprehensively assessed through multivariate regression analyses. Results A total of 336 SA patients were recruited, 51.2% of SA patients had at least one acute healthcare resource utilization during the previous year, with 25.6% of patients having an emergency healthcare visit to the hospital. Overall mean (SD) EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-3L utility scores in SA patients were 6.22 (1.51) and 0.77 (0.30), respectively. EQ-5D utility scores were 0.14 lower in uncontrolled vs controlled asthma and 0.09 lower in the presence of severe exacerbation, whereas barely changed by maintenance OCS dose and airflow limitation. Conclusion SA patients were found to have high disease burden, high healthcare resource utilization and OCS use, low biologics usage, poor HRQoL and utility in comparison with other chronic diseases.
