Key priorities to prevent avoidable asthma hospitalisations: insights from end-users.
Article in ERJ open research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background and objective: Asthma remains a significant burden on health systems and individuals, with many hospitalisations in Australia considered preventable through improved management and community care. This study aimed to explore end-user perspectives on preventing potentially avoidable asthma hospitalisations and identify key themes, research questions and priorities. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved administering an anonymous online survey as part of a national asthma research priority-setting initiative. The participants included people living with asthma, their carers, healthcare professionals, and policymakers in Australia, all of whom were asked to provide free-text responses regarding the research questions they considered important for preventing asthma hospitalisations. Responses underwent thematic and content analysis to identify themes. Results: Of the 554 respondents, 461 (83%) were individuals living with asthma, primarily females aged 45-64 years. The analysis identified nine key themes; however, subgroup analysis revealed four dominant themes: 1) self-management support, focusing on increasing knowledge and confidence, awareness of when to seek help, and the use of digital health tools; 2) pharmacological approaches, seeking better medication options with minimal side-effects; 3) strategies for avoiding major asthma events, emphasising improved proactive measures to reduce asthma attacks; 4) asthma care, highlighting the need to make medications more affordable, and enhanced access to care. Conclusions: This study highlights key research priorities from the collective voice of end-users on preventing potentially avoidable asthma-related hospitalisations. These novel data provide a foundation for future research aimed at supporting Asthma Australia's vision to reduce asthma-related hospitalisations by 50% by 2030.
