National Health and Wellness Survey, a patient-administered, internet-based questionnaire. Patients were grouped into different levels of asthma control using the ACT score (<15: poorly-controlled; 16–19: partly-controlled; 20–25: well-controlled asthma). The Work Productivity and Activity ...
The level of asthma control can be assessed using composite measures such as the validated Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ) [7]. Each patient should be assessed to establish the current treatment regimen, adherence to the current regimen, and the level of asthma control. If asthma is uncontroll...
The Asthma Control Test (ACT) questionnaire – a simple, self-administered, and rapidly completed assessment tool – might be appropriate to meet this demand.7–9 The ACT has the added advantages that it does not require lung function assessments and can be applied at all levels of healthcare...

There was a decrease in Asthma Control Questionnaire score at 16 weeks (−1.14), 6 months (−1.56), and 12 months (−1.13) after omalizumab therapy. Omalizumab significantly reduced annualized rate of severe exacerbations (risk ratio [RR]: 0.41, 95% CI: 0.30-0.56; I2 = 96%), ...

The modified Patient Enablement Instrument, the Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire, and the Asthma Control Questionnaire were used. Peak expiratory flow and forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) were measured. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was performed to establish cut-off ...
As predicted, patients with low ACT scores correlated with diagnoses of poorer control by asthma specialists. Patients with low FEV1 scores also scored lower on the ACT, and patients who required an increase in their therapy had lower scores on this questionnaire. The responsiveness of the ACT ...
We aimed to evaluate the association of asthma control test (ACT) with asthma quality of life questionnaire (AQLQ) and guideline based control assessment. We also aimed to investigate the impact of therapy adjustment according to ACT score on AQLQ A total of 101 asthmatic patients were included...
