Clinical remission of mild-to-moderate asthma: Rates, contributing factors, and stability.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although clinical remission (CR) of severe asthma has been extensively investigated, CR of mild-to-moderate asthma remains unexplored.

Objective

This study aimed to determine CR rates, contributing factors, and stability in patients with mild-to-moderate asthma.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed 263 patients with asthma. Three-component CR was defined as no exacerbation, no daily oral corticosteroid receipt, and an Asthma Control Test score equivalent to that of the well control; 4-component CR included these parameters plus forced expiratory volume in 1 second of ≥80% predicted. CR during the 1 year and stability of CR over 10 years were retrospectively analyzed in patients with mild-to-moderate and severe asthma.

Results

The CR rates were signifi
