“…Baseline symptom control, measured in patients with an annual asthma review within 15 months of the baseline period, was scored from 0 to 3 based on Royal College of Physicians questions for asthma. 31 Poor symptom control was characterized by the presence of any 3 of following symptoms: difficulty sleeping due to asthma, usual asthma symptoms during the day (cough, wheeze, chest tightness, or breathlessness), interference of asthma with usual activities, or >2 puffs of SABA prescribed per week on average over the baseline year. Uncontrolled asthma in patients treated at GINA step 4 or treatment at GINA step 5 irrespective of control status was categorized as difficult-to-treat asthma.…”
