The Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) has been validated in adults to measure the primary goal of management (minimisation of symptoms, activity limitations, short-acting β2-agonist use and airway narrowing). The present study evaluated the validity, measurement properties and interpretabi...
Poor symptom control:Asthma Control Questionnaire(ACQ) consistently >1.5, Asthma Control Test (ACT) <20 (or “not well controlled” by NAEPP [National Asthma Education and Prevention Program]/GINA guidelines). 2. Frequent severe exacerbations:two or more bursts of systemic CS (>3 days each) in...
Spirometry, FeNO at 50 ml flow, sputum induction, Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) and blood eosinophils (BEos) were recorded. Induced sputum eosinophils (SEos) defined eosinophilic (EA, SEos ≥3%) and non-eosinophilic (NEA, SEos <3%) groups. BEos, SEos and FeNO were log10transformed ...
Patients (n = 313) completed the ACT and the Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) at 2 physician visits (4-12 weeks apart). Pulmonary function was measured, and asthma specialists rated asthma control. Results Internal consistency reliability of the ACT was 0.85 (baseline) and 0.79 (follow-up)...
We ascertained asthma control with Asthma Control Questionnaire of five questions (ACQ-5), validated in Russian [8], which allowed to quantify asthma control using a numerical score ranging from 0 to 6. In addition, we also categorized patients into those with well controlled, partially controlled...
Objective To explore the feasibility of asthma control questionnaire(ACQ) and modified asthma control questionnaire(ACQ6) on evaluating asthma control in children. Methods One hundred and two patients with paediatric asthma who were diagnosed by experts from Pediatric Clinic of the Affiliated Hospital of...
Patient preferences and utilities will be assessed by questionnaire and interview. Data on asthma control, treatment step, adherence to treatment, utilities and costs will be obtained every 3 months and at each unplanned visit. Differences in societal costs (medication, other (health) care and ...

The Asthma Control QuestionnaireTM (ACQ) was developed to assess asthma control. The objective of this study is to determine the cut-off points that best differentiate between several types of asthma control in three versions of the ACQ used in clinical practice. Materials and methods. It ...
