Expert Panel Report 3 (EPR-3): Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Asthma - Summary Report 2007

The EPR--3 Summary Report 2007, provides key information from the full report on the diagnosis and management of asthma. Summary information is provided on measures of assessment and monitoring, education for a partnership in asthma care, control of environmental factors and comorbid conditions that affect asthma, and medications. Key tables and figures from the full report are included for easy reference.

The hard copy version of this document is now in stock.

9/3/2008 11:11:02 PM The ever important classification and management of asthma is buried in the text. Please refer to your own 2003 summary publication that was 5-6 pages and please reproduce that format. The 2003 summary was easier to present to students than this current publication.     9/1/2008 3:39:17 PM This is a very good guide to diagnosing and treating asthma, but it is by no means a summary. Granted it’s a novella compared to the full 440 page report, but it is still much too long to be a useful summary. A 15 to 20 page summary would be nice and we have the full report if further guidance is needed.     7/15/2008 11:51:48 AM Very poor publicity for this important publication. What a sad waste.     7/7/2008 12:58:24 PM Since report is only available by download you would think those responsible for its design would take the reproduction needs into account. No such luck. The tables are replete with grey halftones which reproduce very poorly. Printing in black and white on a laser printer is an eyestrain. Recopying that on a copier makes it virtually unreadable. It seems the authors/producers of these "publications" are so mesmerized by the cute graphics and color schemes that they could care less about practical issues like readability. So sorely disappointed I can’t even critique the content.     5/9/2008 6:03:09 PM     5/7/2008 5:26:02 PM     5/5/2008 8:24:36 AM     4/26/2008 4:05:38 AM     4/12/2008 3:04:20 PM The overall summary does give much useful information, and buried in it are helpful charts (though too dark - why not use color or greyscale rather than black?). I’d like a simple reference with the diagnostic and stepwise treatment charts available without having to download a >4 MB size PDF and search through it all to find them.     3/10/2008 8:36:18 PM     2/11/2008 6:37:02 PM Trying to put both sets of guidelines (Long & Short Versions) together to help me study for the AE-C exam. Thanks.     1/3/2008 12:09:59 PM I am unable to view or download figures 6, 11-16 and 21 using either Firefox or Safari.     12/17/2007 2:48:29 PM     12/5/2007 10:34:19 AM If you print this document, the pages with colored background show up as black and are unreadable.     11/30/2007 10:39:52 PM     11/23/2007 3:27:50 AM     11/14/2007 11:13:30 AM eliminate grey background and increase font.     11/13/2007 1:29:27 PM     11/1/2007 12:23:36 PM     10/30/2007 5:31:35 PM     10/30/2007 10:56:18 AM     10/25/2007 11:36:35 PM     10/25/2007 11:27:28 PM The black boxes on figure 21 are very difficult to read. Could they be retyped?     10/19/2007 4:26:16 PM     10/19/2007 4:14:05 PM     10/17/2007 1:17:56 PM The figures have a dark background and very light prints on the pdf format.
