Andrew Menzies-Gow from Royal Brompton Hospital in London and Gavin Chiu from Boehringer Ingelheim UK in Bracknell used an online questionnaire to assess perceptions of asthma control among 234 patients and their healthcare providers. All participants had at least intermittent asthma that required occasional treatment; many had more severe disease. The researchers found that 84% of patients and 74% of doctors thought the asthma was well controlled, but results of the Asthma Control Test indicated only 55% of patients objectively achieved disease control. Correct agreement between the validated test and more subjective perceptions occurred in only 68 % of patients and 69% of doctors. Addressing this mismatch could go a long way to improving asthma control among British patients.Andrew Menzies-GowGavin ChiuNature PortfolioarticleDiseases of the respiratory systemRC705-779ENnpj Primary Care Respiratory Medicine, Vol 27, Iss 1, Pp 1-7 (2017)
