An online survey on Italian patients and physicians perspectives on the management of asthma

Conclusions: Patients appear to overestimate their level of asthma control, that is not aligned with their reporting of symptoms/limitations. The consolidated proactive treatment with ICS/LABA and as-needed SABA remains the preferred initial approach, in line with GINA track 2. Furthermore, the co-prescription of MART therapy and SABA suggests confusion between reliever strategies in real world.
