Guía de Práctica Clínica de Asma Grave, ALAT 2024
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
El asma grave representa un serio problema de salud en América Latina debido al subdiagnóstico, al bajo nivel de educación sobre su manejo y a las dificultades en el acceso y tratamiento, lo que impacta significativamente en la morbimortalidad de los pacientes. En el año 2020, nuestro grupo elaboró la GUÍA de Asma Grave de la ALAT. Considerando la necesidad de actualizar y desarrollar nuevas recomendaciones, presentamos este nuevo documento, Guía ALAT 2024, donde las recomendaciones se han basado en la mejor evidencia disponible y han sido consensuadas por un grupo de expertos de las sociedades médicas latinoamericanas miembros de la ALAT. Se utilizó el panel Delphi modificado para lograr un nivel de consenso adecuado para cada una de las recomendaciones. Se incluyeron seis nuevas preguntas como el papel de la triple terapia inhalada en la definición del asma grave, los conceptos de remisión del asma y fracaso del tratamiento, la identificación de factores de riesgo de exacerbaciones, el rol de fármacos biológicos en el tratamiento del asma grave dependiente de corticoides en adultos, y la eficacia y seguridad de un anticuerpo anti-TSLP (tezepelumab). Una guía específica para el manejo del asma grave es esencial para mejorar el diagnóstico, estandarizar los tratamientos, reducir las desigualdades en la atención y fortalecer los sistemas de salud haciendo un uso más eficiente de los recursos disponibles.
