Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 18-75 presenting to the ED with an asthma exacerbation and who can perform telephone follow-ups and use email.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with uncontrolled cardiac disease, other uncontrolled medical conditions, pregnancy, or inability to complete telephone follow-up may not benefit.

What this trial studies
Adults who have been treated for an asthma exacerbation in the emergency department are randomized to receive two telemedicine follow-up visits and periodic calls over 12 months, or standard care with phone follow-ups. The remote clinic aims to optimize long-term asthma management and reduce recurrent events. Outcomes include exacerbations, steroid use, ED visits, hospitalizations, medication changes, rescue inhaler use, and asthma control via ACT. Allocation concealment is ensured by an independent coordinator and sealed envelopes. The study is conducted at Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center with support from the Hurvitz Foundation.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants could experience fewer exacerbations and better asthma control through timely specialist input after discharge.
How similar studies have gone: Prior remote follow-up approaches have shown promise in improving chronic disease management, but this specific telecare method after asthma exacerbations is being tested in a randomized trial.
