Despite our knowledge of asthma pathophysiology and several guidelines, studies have indicated growing morbidity. This review highlights the rationale for the trend in asthma care of separating asthma control from asthma severity.Recent research has highlighted why asthma morbidity continues to be such a conundrum.

Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 1975
Programs designed for the control of asthma are complex. Implementation of a number of modalities may be necessary, and the mean and level of treatment may need to be varied from time to time. Medical treatment is a primary concern but preventive measures and education of the family are essential as well.

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1984
Ventilation (liters of air per minute) increases during an acute attack of asthma. Hypocapnia is the rule, although eucapnia may occur. This suggests both that respiratory center output is increased and that acidemia is not the major stimulus to augmented respiration. Mechanical receptors responding to change in end-expiratory respiratory system volume

Current Opinion in Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2001
Asthma control may be defined in several ways, but in clinical practice refers to the achievement of an acceptable clinical state, often based on goals of asthma management. It differs from the assessment of disease severity, which quantifies departure from 'normal'.

New England Journal of Medicine, 1986
PHYSICIANS have been intrigued with the idea of inhalation therapy for more than a century, since patients were advised to smoke cigarettes containing anticholinergic botanicals such as Datura stramonium to obtain relief from asthma attacks.1 The use of aerosols to treat asthma allows an almost ideal therapeutic ratio to be achieved, since minute doses

Current Medical Research and Opinion, 2005
The number of people with asthma continues to grow around the world. However, despite the availability of highly effective medication it remains a poorly controlled disease. Reasons for this poor control include non-implementation and inherent limitations of the asthma management guidelines, poor compliance with asthma therapy, incorrect use of inhaler

Current Allergy and Asthma Reports, 2007
Guidelines for the treatment of asthma have identified that the primary goal of management is achieving good asthma control, thus reducing the risk of exacerbations. Research has shown, however, that the accuracy with which clinicians can estimate the adequacy of control may not be very good.

Asthma Control and Asthma Triggers
Journal of Asthma & Allergy Educators, 2013Objective. Little is known about the lifestyle adjustments made by patients with asthma to reduce symptoms and maintain control when exposed to environmental triggers. The objectives of this study were to understand patient perspectives on asthma control, the triggers they identify in their lives, and any lifestyle adjustments they make to control ...

Quantification of asthma control: validation of the Asthma Control Scoring System
Allergy, 2006Background: We developed an instrument for quantifying asthma control, the Asthma Control Scoring System (ACSS), based on the criteria proposed by the Canadian Asthma Consensus Guidelines.Objective: To assess the measurement properties of the ACSS.Methods: The ACSS and two other questionnaires were completed by 44 asthmatic patients on a first visit
