Review question</h3><p>In people with asthma, what is the clinical and cost-effectiveness of using symptom scores/diaries or validated questionnaires measuring symptom control (e.g. ACT, ACQ, CACT, RCP 3 questions) and/or health related quality of life (e.g. AQLQ, PAQLQ) to monitor asthma?</p><div id="niceng245er12.s1.1.1"><h4>1.1.1. Introduction</h4><p>Asthma is, characteristically, a disease which varies over time &#x02013; people have some days which are worse than others. A symptom diary can be used to help people with asthma monitor how they are on particular days with regard to their symptoms and medication use and help identify any triggers for these. If people are asked to spend time doing these, and if decisions are made based on what is recorded in a diary, it is important to understand the evidence around whether they are effective.</p></div><div id="niceng245er12.s1.1.2"><h4>1.1.2.

The committee's discussion and interpretation of the evidence</h3><div id="niceng245er12.s1.2.1"><h4>1.2.1. The outcomes that matter most</h4><p>The Committee considered the outcomes of mortality, unscheduled healthcare utilisation, asthma exacerbations, asthma control, quality of life, lung function, symptoms, dose of regular asthma therapy/preventer medication, reliever/rescue medication use and time off school or work. For the purposes of decision making, all outcomes were considered equally important and were rated as critical.</p><p>For this review there was no outcome data for mortality, time off school or work or asthma control based on the Royal College of Physicians (RCP) 3 questions questionnaire.</p><p>Asthma exacerbations were defined in the protocol as exacerbations requiring oral corticosteroid use. Definitions for exacerbations varied across studies: <a class="bibr" href="#niceng245er12.ref1" rid="niceng245er12.ref1">Mehuys (2008)</a> and <a class="bibr" href="#niceng245er12.ref6" rid="niceng245er12.ref6">van der Meer (2009)</a> defined exacerbations as severe exacerbations requiring treatment with oral glucocorticoids or an emergency department visit or hospital admission due to asthma. <a class="bibr" href="#niceng245er12.ref4" rid="niceng245er12.ref4">Rikkers (2012)</a> defined exacerbations as deterioration in asthma that required oral steroids for 3 days or more as reported in 3-monthly questionnaires. <a class="bibr" href="#niceng245er12.ref5" rid="niceng245er12.ref5">Van den Wijngaart et al (2017)</a> defined asthma exacerbations as exacerbations treated with systemic corticosteroids. <a class="bibr" href="#niceng245er12.ref8" rid="niceng245er12.ref8">Ye et al (2021)</a> did not report a definition for moderate/severe exacerbations.</p><p>Asthma control or quality of life measured by questionnaire [for example Asthma Control Test (ACT), Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ), Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (AQLQ) and Paediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (PAQLQ)] are preferably reported as continuous outcomes, in line with the review protocol.</p><p>Some outcomes were identified in the review that were related to, but not identical to, those pre-specified in the protocol, and have therefore been downgraded due to indirectness of the outcome: number of asthma medications; number of asthma controller medications.</p></div><div id="niceng245er12.s1.2.2"><h4>1.2.2. The quality of the evidence</h4><p>No evidence was found in children aged 1&#x02013;5 years old.</p><p>Using GRADE criteria, the quality of the evidence for most outcomes in adults was low or very low. Evidence was downgraded due to risk of bias (including risk of selection bias, lack of details on randomisation and imbalance in characteristics at baseline, unclear information on missing data and issues with analyses) and indirectness of the intervention (the intervention included education as well as monitoring by symptom diary/questionnaire). This evidence was further downgraded due to imprecision when the confidence intervals around the effect estimate crossed MIDs (minimal clinically important differences).</p><p>Evidence for three outcomes (number of emergency room visits; number of outpatient visits and ACT) from <a class="bibr" href="#niceng245er12.ref3" rid="niceng245er12.ref3">Pool et al (2017)</a> was moderate in certainty; this study was at low risk of bias but was downgraded due to indirectness of intervention. An unvalidated asthma symptom questionnaire was used that included questions on asthma care as well as symptoms. Two outcomes (number of asthma medications and number of asthma controller medications) were further downgraded due to indirectness of outcomes (these were related, but not identical to, outcomes specified in the review protocol) and were therefore graded as being of low certainty.</p><p>Using GRADE criteria, the quality of the evidence for all outcomes in children and young people was very low. This is because all included studies in children were at very high risk of bias. Issues included: lack of blinding and outcomes self-reported; unbalanced missing data across trial arms; use of a dichotomous outcome instead of a continuous outcome and lack of information reported on pre-specified analyses. Evidence was further downgraded due to indirectness of the intervention (which also included education as well as symptom diary/questionnaire monitoring) and outcome (when symptom-free days were calculated from the Childhood Asthma Control Test, (C)ACT). Several outcomes were further downgraded due to imprecision when the confidence intervals around the effect estimate crossed MIDs.</p><p>The potential bias and widespread uncertainty in the evidence, for both children and young people, and adults, influenced the Committee&#x02019;s view of the evidence. They considered there to be insufficient evidence to support a strong statement on the use of symptom diaries/questionnaires for monitoring of asthma. The wide variability in route by which asthma therapy/management was adjusted in response to symptom diaries/questionnaires in the trial interventions (ranging from healthcare professionals directly adjustment treatment to use of algorithms to direct self-management) was an additional concern. The committee also noted that, although the studies generally used validated questionnaires which will reliably reflect asthma control, the action points for adjusting treatment in response to questionnaire results were not validated.</p></div><div id="niceng245er12.s1.2.3"><h4>1.2.3. Benefits and harms</h4><p>When assessing the clinically significant impact of the evidence, the GC agreed an approach for use of MIDs. For continuous outcomes, published MIDs were applied for ACT (3); (C)ACT (2); ACQ (0.5); AQLQ (0.5); and FEV1 (L) (0.23). In the absence of published MIDs, default calculations for MID were applied based on baseline SD (where available), for the rest of the continuous outcomes. For dichotomous outcomes, a threshold of 100/1000 people for changes in absolute effects was applied when assessing unscheduled visits to outpatients. A threshold of 30/1000 people for changes in absolute effects was applied when assessing the following outcomes: asthma exacerbations; emergency department visits; and hospital admissions. This is because the committee considered small differences between the intervention and comparison groups likely to be important for these outcomes.</p><p>As the study interventions varied widely, and a number were downgraded due to indirectness, no pooling of studies was conducted; assessment of each outcome was therefore based on a single RCT.</p><div id="niceng245er12.s1.2.3.1"><h5>Evidence in adults</h5><p>Evidence from one RCT showed there was no clinically important difference of ACT-monitoring (plus education) compared to usual care in adults in terms of asthma control (ACT), quality of life (AQLQ), rescue medication use; lung function (morning PEF % predicted) or asthma exacerbations (severe exacerbations). However, this RCT, which involved asthma-management advice delivered by a pharmacist based on ACT score, showed a clinically important benefit in unscheduled healthcare utilisation (emergency room visits or hospitalisation) for those who received the intervention.</p><p>Evidence from one RCT showed there was no clinically important difference of ACT guided treatment compared to usual care in terms of asthma exacerbations, asthma control (ACT), lung function (FEV1% predicted) or quality of life (AQLQ) in adults.</p><p>Evidence from one RCT showed a clinically important benefit of ACT monitoring compared to usual care for lung function (FEV1 % predicted and PEF % predicted) in adults.</p><p>Similarly, another RCT showed a clinically important benefit of ACQ monitoring (plus education) compared to usual care for lung function (FEV1 L). However, this RCT also showed no clinically important difference for a range of outcomes: asthma exacerbations; asthma control (ACQ); quality of life (AQLQ); symptoms (symptom-free days); and dose of regular asthma therapy/preventer medication (ICS) use.</p><p>Where there was evidence of clinically important benefit in adults, it was predominantly for objective outcomes on lung function in two RCTs, but the certainty of the evidence was very low. However, one further RCT provided moderate certainty evidence for a comparison of online symptom monitoring versus usual care and reported no clinically importance differences in a wide range outcomes [unscheduled healthcare utilisation (number of visits to emergency room, number of outpatient visits)] asthma control (ACT), dose of regular asthma therapy/preventer medication (number of asthma medications and number of asthma controller medications)].</p><p>Overall, the Committee considered the relatively small number of clinically important benefits identified in adults, together with concerns over the quality of the evidence, did not support regular monitoring with symptom questionnaires at the frequencies used in the studies.</p></div><div id="niceng245er12.s1.2.3.2"><h5>Evidence in children and young people</h5><p>Evidence from children and young people showed no clinically important benefit of asthma symptom/questionnaire monitoring for the outcomes included.</p><p>One RCT showed no clinically important difference of ACQ monitoring (plus education) compared to usual care for asthma exacerbations, asthma control (ACQ), quality of life (paediatric AQLQ), dose of regular asthma therapy/preventer medication (ICS dose) and symptoms (symptom-free days).</p><p>Evidence from one RCT reported on (C)ACT monitoring (plus education) compared to usual care and showed no clinically important difference for unscheduled healthcare utilisation (emergency department visits and hospital admissions) and) asthma exacerbations, lung function (FEV1 % predicted), asthma control [ACT or (C)ACT], or symptoms (symptom-free days). There was a clinically important difference favouring usual care for unscheduled healthcare utilisation (visits to outpatients).</p><p>Overall, the Committee considered the evidence-base in children and young people to be to be very limited. They noted the lack of clinically important difference in outcomes, the small number of studies available and the concerns about the certainty in the evidence.</p></div></div><div id="niceng245er12.s1.2.4"><h4>1.2.4. Cost effectiveness and resource use</h4><p>No relevant published health economic analyses were identified for this review. The committee made a recommendation to use a validated questionnaire to assess asthma control in annual reviews. Asthma control questionnaires are already recommended as part of annual reviews for asthma, so no change in practice or additional resource use is anticipated.</p></div><div id="niceng245er12.s1.2.5"><h4>1.2.5. Other factors the committee took into account</h4><p>The Committee discussed the different contexts in which monitoring of asthma control by symptoms/questionnaire could take place, namely in a clinical setting (where the results are directly used by physicians or other clinical professionals to adjust treatment or therapy) or in self-management, where the results are used directly by patients to support their self-management of asthma. By consensus, the Committee agreed that an appropriate alternative focus for self-management symptom monitoring is a personalised asthma action plan.</p><p>Although the evidence reviewed did not support a role for symptom diaries/questionnaires in routine monitoring, the Committee did not want to infer that such diaries or questionnaires had no use at all. The questionnaires have been formally validated, and the committee agreed that asking the focussed questions within them is a much better way of assessing asthma control than a general &#x0201c;how have you been?&#x0201d; approach. Furthermore, the committee were aware of evidence that asthma control questionnaires are predictive of future risk of severe asthma attacks. They noted that the study protocols employed the questionnaires over short periods of time (they were filled in at weekly intervals in one study) and while they concluded that the evidence showed this was not a worthwhile exercise, they agreed by consensus that filling in a questionnaire at a person&#x02019;s regular review (which will be an annual review in most people with asthma) should provide useful information. It was also suggested that it would be useful to fill in a questionnaire when any treatment change was being contemplated, to provide an objective baseline against which any improvement could be measured. However, the committee recognised that this was a separate issue from that of regular monitoring and did not make a recommendation on this point.</p><p>In keeping with the above, the Lay Committee members noted that validated questionnaires such as ACT and ACQ are chronic management tools that require the patient to recall symptoms over several weeks, rather than an acute management tool (to assess symptoms on a day-to-day basis). The recall element of the questionnaires can be difficult to complete. This view further supports the Committee&#x02019;s agreement that daily or weekly monitoring of asthma should not rely on symptom questionnaires.</p><p>No significant harms were reported, and the committee therefore did not recommend against using the questionnaires over short periods of time if the person with asthma and the relevant healthcare professional agreed that this served a useful purpose.</p></div><div id="niceng245er12.s1.2.6"><h4>1.2.6. Recommendations supported by this evidence review</h4><p>This evidence review supports recommendation 1.5.2.</p></div></div><div id="niceng245er12.s1.rl.r1"><h3>1.3.

<p>Symptom scores or diaries (Symptom questions with feedback to support self-management)</p>
<p>Intervention participants were asked to use an online tool at least once each month (and within 14 days of their next scheduled health care provider visit), in which they would answer 11 questions about their asthma symptoms (e.g., rescue inhaler frequency, night symptom frequency), availability of oral corticosteroids at home for exacerbations, and asthma care received from providers, such as an asthma management plan. Participants were also asked to enter their current asthma medications, the number of days each week that each medication was used and identify if any medicines bothered them; and record their next scheduled visit with their asthma care provider.</p>
<p>Based on their answers and pre-written rules, the online tool provided tailored feedback reminding patients to ask providers specific questions about their asthma medications and perform specific asthma self-care, to improve adherence to the 2007 NAEPP treatment guidelines. Feedback included lay-person explanations and links to an external website that supported the recommendation.</p>
