Objective: To collect perspectives and explore consensus for expert recommendations related
to asthma control and the use of telemedicine among professionals who manage patients with
asthma.
Design: A Delphi-like questionnaire was designed to analyse the level of agreement about
several recommendations formulated by an expert scientific committee about asthma con-
trol and the use of telemedicine with this purpose. A dedicated scientific committee validated
the questionnaire, which included questions about the participants’ profile and the use of
technological tools at a personal level or in clinical practice.
The experts expressed their agreement with a Likert-scale of 9 values: 1---3 was considered no
agreement, 4---6 neutral, and 7---9 agreement. A rate ≥70% with the same answer was considered
consensus.
Site: The questionnaire was programmed and distributed as an internet-based survey.
Participants: A pre-selected sample of 75 experts with experience in telemedicine (pul-
monology, allergology, family medicine, nursing and community pharmacy) responded to a
Delphi-like questionnaire composed by six questions and 52 items.
Interventions: Consultation was performed in two consecutive waves: the first wave was carried
out from 12th of July to 8th of September of 2021; the second wave, from 25th of October to
12th of November of 2021.
