Clinical Characteristics and Burden of Illness among Adolescent and Adult Patients with Severe Asthma by Asthma Control: the IDEAL Study.

Conclusions: In IDEAL, one-fifth of patients with SA were controlled, based on symptoms. Uncontrolled, exacerbating SA was associated with specific comorbidities, frequent exacerbations, lower lung function, and compromised HRQoL, although inference from this analysis is limited by the selective cross-sectional nature of the cohort. Nonetheless, these data highlight the need for more effective precision treatments in this population. PMID: 31874051 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
