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'.

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

Measuring childhood asthma control
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2014Several studies have documented the benefits of good asthma control on a variety of outcomes that are important to patients and society, such as no restriction in lifestyle, better physical fitness and quality of life, reductions in asthma burden, health care resource use and lower risk of exacerbations, oral steroid use, hospitalizations, and death ...

Pediatric Asthma Controller Therapy
Pediatric Drugs, 2011The treatment of children with asthma has historically relied upon expert opinion using data extrapolated from adult studies. Over the past few years, landmark studies have been completed providing healthcare professionals with evidence on which a reasonable approach can be made for children suffering from this common and serious disease.

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

We compared results of a modified version of the Asthma Control Test using parent proxy report (PP-ACT) with results reported by children and parents using the validated Childhood–Asthma Control Test (C-ACT). 104 parent-child dyads with a child aged 6 to 12 years with asthma were randomized to complete PP-ACT followed by C-ACT or C-ACT followed by PP ...
