Abstract: Less than 15% of patients were well controlled according to GINA criteria despite physicians reporting the majority of patients were well controlled. Over one-fourth of patients relied on daily rescue inhaler medication, while exacerbation frequency and work and activity impairment were higher than might reasonably be expected in a mild asthmatic population.

“…Ding and Small in this issue of Respirology reported an interesting study that described the patient characteristics, treatment patterns and disease burden of subjects with mild asthma residing in urban areas of China. The study shared the same protocol as the Respiratory Disease‐Specific Programme (DSP) study, which was a prospective cross‐sectional survey conducted by primary care and specialty physicians in eight countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, USA, Japan and China) . The number of subjects from China in the multi‐country DSP study that had been prescribed a GINA Step 1 or 2 regimen was 83 .…”

Even though treating physicians thought that three‐quarters of patients were ‘well’ or ‘completely’ controlled, only 14.2% of patients had well‐controlled asthma based on the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) criteria and 73.5% were classified as being only partly controlled (Fig.…”
