OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical comprehensive evaluation on the application of inhaled corticosteroids（ ICS） by pediatric clinical pharmacists. METHODS: This study had conducted a questionnaire survey on102 pediatric clinical pharmacists from 12 provinces across the country in Oct. 2019

data of general information

drug evaluation

dosage form evaluation and compliance evaluation were collected and analyzed by adopting descriptive statistical method. RESULTS: In terms of drug evaluation

pediatric clinical pharmacists believed that budesonide was superior to beclomethasone and fluticasone. In terms of dosage form evaluation

pressure quantitative aerosol（ without storage tank） was the most easily mastered by parents or children [with the comprehensive score（ CS） was2. 86 scores]; followed by atomizer

dry-powder inhaler（ turbuhaler）

pressure quantitative aerosol（ with storage tank） and dry-powder inhaler（ accuhaler）

with the CS were respectively 2. 59

2. 26

2. 05 and 1. 54 scores. In terms of inhalation device training

53. 92%（ 55/102） of pediatric clinical pharmacists had carried out training on the use of inhalation device

while the rest 46. 08%（ 47/102） had not been trained. The evaluation results of pediatric clinical pharmacists on the proportion of children ’s actual medications accounted for the prescribed medications indicated that 29 persons（ 28. 43%） considered the proportion to be less than 50%

30 persons（ 29. 41%）considered the proportion to be 50%-< 75% and 35 persons（ 34. 31%） considered the proportion to be 75%-<100%

only 8 persons（ 7. 84%） considered the proportion to be 100%. The top 3 reasons of not fully complying with the medical orders were respective children who do not cooperate with treatment

worry about the adverse drug reactions of long-term medication and drug withdrawal after condition improved. CONCLUSIONS: Pediatric clinical pharmacists should strengthen training on the use of inhalation devices for parents or children

choose inhalation devices that are easier for parents or children to master

so as to further improve the compliance to long-term treatment for children and parents.
