Patient Preference for Biologic Treatments of Psoriasis in the Chinese Setting.
Assessments of patients' preferences can support in clinical decision-making regarding biologic therapies for psoriasis. Our objective was to investigate patient preference for biologic treatments in patients with psoriasis in China. ⋯ The cost of biologic treatments was found as the most important attribute for Chinese patients with psoriasis. Among efficacy attributes, the probability of achieving PASI100 at 3 months showed most sensitive. These results may be helpful to understand patient preference for biologic treatments used for psoriasis in China.

The Impact of Biofeedback on Self-Efficacy in Adults with Asthma: A Cross-Sectional Descriptive Survey.
Educating patients to self-manage chronic diseases such as asthma is a key role for nurses. The success of this education is often limited by low patient self-efficacy. In this study, we hypothesized that the self-efficacy of patients could be enhanced if their education was based on biofeedback of their own self-management, following a nurse led educational intervention. ⋯ Repeated nurse-delivered education results in high levels of self-efficacy among patients with severe asthma. A high level of perceived self-efficacy should not be assumed to result in higher inhaler adherence.

Adherence to Clinical Guidelines on STATIN Prescribing Among Diabetic Patients Aged 40-75 Years Old in a Primary Care Setting: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Diabetes mellitus (D.M.) is a chronic metabolic disease caused by decreased insulin secretion, which increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Evidence has shown that statins reduce cardiovascular risk in patients with diabetes; moreover, most clinical guidelines recommend statins. ⋯ Most guidelines recommend statin therapy in diabetic patients owing to its benefits in preventing cardiovascular complications. In this study, most patients were on appropriate STATIN therapy; however, 50% of diabetic patients had LDL of more than 100 mg/dl, and 25% were not prescribed statins, increasing their risk of ASCVD. Therefore, we recommend strict adherence to the established guidelines on statins prescribed to patients with diabetes to prevent cardiovascular complications, save lives, and reduce healthcare costs.

Establishing Quality of Life in Southern Taiwan COPD Patients Using Long-Acting Bronchodilator.
To assess the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of Taiwan patients with different stages of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and using different combination therapies and to explore the factors affecting HRQoL in these patients. ⋯ The HRQoL is impaired in patients with COPD, and it deteriorates with an increase of severity. The CAT was the strongest predictor of HRQoL.
