Patients with Severe Uncontrolled Asthma: Perception of Asthma Control and its Management.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The aim of our observational study was to understand how patients with uncontrolled severe asthma perceive asthma control, and to assess their views on the role of healthcare professionals (HCPs) and other stakeholders in asthma management.

Methods

In total, 200 patients with uncontrolled, severe asthma living in Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK, or the USA registered on the Carenity asthma community responded to a patient survey.

Results

While 62% of respondents indicated they knew a lot about asthma, they were not entirely satisfied with its control. The two most helpful tools considered important in long-term asthma control were centered on learning, with tips on asthma control (76%), as well as information on asthma and its causes (67%).
