Effect of WeChat-Based Medication Guidance on Symptoms and Serological Parameters in Children with Mycoplasma Pneumoniae.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of microsoft-based medication guidance on the level of symptoms and serological indicators in children receiving budesonide nebulisation combined with terbutaline for the treatment of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumoniae (MPP).
Methods: A total of 109 children with MPP treated in The First Affiliated Hospital of Ningbo University of China between October 2022 and April 2023 were divided into the conventional group (n=54, with medication guidance by telephone follow-up) and the WeChat group (n=55, with medication guidance based on the WeChat platform) using a randomized number table. The time to resolution of symptoms, serological index levels, incidence of adverse drug events, medication adherence scores and satisfaction rate of family guidance were compared between the two groups.
Results: The disappearance time of symptoms such as wheezing and cough in the WeChat group was shorter than that in the conventional group (P < .05). After treatment, the C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and calcitoninogen (PCT) levels and the incidence of adverse drug events were lower in the WeChat group than in the conventional group (P < .05). After treatment, the levels of forceful spirometry (FVC), 1st-second expiratory volume (FEV1), peak expiratory flow rate (PEF), medication compliance score and family guidance satisfaction rate were higher in the WeChat group than in the conventional group (P < .05).
Conclusion: WeChat-based medication guidance can optimize the therapeutic effect of MPP, improve children's medication compliance and satisfaction rate of family guidance, and reduce the occurrence of adverse drug events.
