s235 management with continued utilization of either drug. Sensitivity analysis was conducted using one-way probabilistic analyses with 10% variation in all probabilities and costs. Results: Total pharmaceutical costs accrued after 3 years among patients treated with tobramycin was estimated at $114,400 compared to azithromycin at $62,400. Life expectancy was 0.29 years lower among patients taking tobramycin. Azithromycin was the dominant strategy compared to tobramycin in the base case. Sensitivity analyses indicated pharmaceutical costs for azithromycin were most influential on the ICER. ConClusions: Tobramycin was not cost-effective due to higher cost and reduced capacity to prolong life years without discontinuation of medication in the management of severe exacerbations, compared to azithromycin. This study does not preclude clinical intervention via implementation of both medications in treatment pathways. Further research is needed to determine health economics and outcomes among patients treated with azithromycin and tobramycin as adjunct therapy in management of severe exacerbations.

Furthermore, only 46 (22%) patients used precautionary measures and confirmed its effectiveness in preventing the asthmatic attack when they were exposed to the risk factors. Out of 192 who were prescribed with the inhaler only 59.4% patient can use inhaler effectively and 88.5% keep it with them while traveling to prevent the worsening of asthmatic attack. ConClusions: Asthma is not a fatal disease but can prove fatal by negligence. Avoidance of risk factor is the primary care in asthma. The use of the precautionary measures was proved to be of great importance in preventing asthma. The use of inhalers was also prescribed but many patients were unable to use them correctly leading to their therapeutic failure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
