Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary outcome measure is defined as the number of prescribed dosages taken by the child in the correct timeframe (from 3 hours before untill 3 hours after the planned moment of inhalation) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcome measures are asthma control, healthcare use and disease-specific quality of life collected through questionnaires, interviews and medical health records. Online focus groups and patient questionnaires will be used to collect data on parental and children*s acceptance of the RTMM system. An economic evaluation will be performed adopting a societal perspective, including all relevant healthcare costs and productivity loss of the parents. Furthermore, we will develop a decision-analytic model that includes different levels or forms of adherence and the outcomes, both clinical and costs, attributed to each level or form of adherence as well as different price levels for RTMM. | — |
