#6-17E. Clearing the Air: Improving Asthma Control by Switching from Gas to Electric Stoves (J Allergy Clin Immunol Pract, 2026)
2026年11月5日 13:00·5分43秒
Can environmental modifications at home, specifically replacing natural gas stoves with electric ones, significantly improve asthma control in patients with poorly controlled disease? In this single-arm trial, switching from gas to electric stoves markedly reduced indoor nitrogen dioxide levels and improved Asthma Control Questionnaire scores by 1.1 points. Although this unblinded study cannot rule out placebo effects or seasonal confounding, the clinical magnitude of improvement is notable. For practicing physicians, these findings suggest asking asthma patients about gas stove usage and considering environmental remediation alongside pharmacological management.
