Profiles of asthma control in 12488 patients in 30 practices in East Anglia

摘要

Introduction:Since the introduction of the British Thoracic Society Guidelines for Asthma Management in 1993, updated in 1997 and 2003, there have been substantial shifts in asthma management in general practice with improved patient care, but many reports indicate that for some patients, it is still difficult to maintain good control and improve quality of life. The ELEVATE study investigates asthma control and quality of life for adults in practices in East Anglia.
