Published on: March 3, 2023
Summary
Accurate asthma control is key to reducing exacerbations, but clinician assessments are often unreliable. Simple questionnaires can help accurately measure and monitor asthma control between visits.
Area of Science:
- Pulmonology
- Clinical Medicine
- Asthma Management
Background:
- Asthma treatment guidelines prioritize achieving good asthma control to minimize exacerbations.
- Clinician assessments of asthma control adequacy and changes over time are frequently inaccurate.
- Validated questionnaires offer a reliable method for evaluating and monitoring asthma control.
Purpose of the Study:
- To highlight the limitations of clinical judgment in assessing asthma control.
- To introduce the utility of asthma control questionnaires in clinical practice.
- To provide guidance on selecting, interpreting, and administering these questionnaires.
Main Methods:
- Review of current asthma management guidelines and relevant research.
- Discussion of the development and validation of asthma control questionnaires.
