Perceived and Actual Control of Asthma in Patients as assessed by respiratory specialists! RESPIRE 2011 Add perception and actual control in n=172 1Based on the answers to the following question: Control of asthma: □ Well controlled □ Moderately controlled □ Poorly controlled □ Very poorly controlled □ Unknown 2Based on CTS guidelines in combination with data gathered through chart review (Answers presented only for the 172 patients with an answer of “Yes“ to “Did you make any changes to the patient’s asthma therapy at the last visit?”)
