Relationship of inhaled corticosteroid adherence to asthma exacerbations in patients with moderate to severe asthma

Conclusions Approximately one in seven patients had elevated eosinophils. Adherence to ICS therapy was not associated with decreased exacerbations for these patients. Additional therapy should be considered for these patients, such as biologics, which have been previously shown to improve control in severe uncontrolled eosinophilic asthma.
