"Severe-controlled" asthma 4 years later: is it still controlled?

Conclusions: Among severe asthmatics, good drug compliance, low use of relievers and low rates of exacerbations do not necessarily reflect asthma-related quality-of-life and optimal control. We urge physicians and HMOs to address asthma control in terms of quality-of-life based on validated questionnaires, and offer all patients asthma education; perhaps more to those with low formal education.
