AB  - Aims: Uncontrolled asthma during pregnancy can lead to complications for both the mother and the fetus. In this study; It was aimed to evaluate the follow-up and treatment of pregnant women with asthma, their knowledge about asthma triggers, their use of inhaler therapy, and their compliance with pulmonologist controls for asthma.Methods: In this study; 64 pregnant patients with asthma who applied to our clinic between 01.01.2022 and 31.07.2022 were reviewed. Demographic patients (mean age, age groups, smoking history, comorbidities), recommended treatment information, and birth information, whether they used asthma treatment or not, were recorded and evaluated according to patient groups.Results: There was a statistically significant difference between drug use during pregnancy according to the age groups of pregnant women with asthma (Chi-square test; χ²=6.684; p=0.035). As the age of the pregnant women increased, the rate of drug use during the pregnancy increased, and there was a correlation between drug use during pregnancy and whether the patients were regularly checked by a pulmonologist (Chi-square test; χ²=12.835; p=0.0001). While 68% of those who were not under the control of a pulmonologist did not use medication, 60.8% of those under the control of a pulmonologist used medication during their pregnancy.Conclusion: Pregnant women with asthma must be followed by a gynecologist and a pulmonologist. Using inhaler therapy in asthma treatment in pregnant women can keep asthma under control and reduce the number and severity of exacerbations.
