This study aimed to evaluate factors affecting adherence to inhaled therapy in patients with asthma to further identify the determinants most closely associated with adherence to inhaled therapy for asthma, especially inhaled glucocorticosteroids (ICS). ⋯ Our research shows that many patients with asthma in western China have poor disease control and poor inhalation therapy adherence. We hope this research can alert clinicians and help them identify patients who may be experiencing uncontrolled asthma due to poor adherence to inhaled therapy, and we suggest that clinicians help those patients obtain appropriate information about asthma control and self-management.

A 2020 federal court ruling requires clinical trial sponsors to report a decade's worth of previously exempted data to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for publication on ClinicalTrials.gov. In Seife v HHS, the US District Court for the Southern District of New York invalidated NIH regulations that exempted certain clinical trials conducted between 2007 and 2017 from results reporting requirements mandated by the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act. ⋯ These benefits make the recent decision in Seife particularly significant. However, its impact will be dampened if the government does not take steps to enforce it.
