Asthma Control Test (ACT): Comparison with Clinical, Functional, and Biological Markers of Asthma Control

Abstract

ACT score is a valid tool to simply assess the current level of asthma control in terms of symptoms, rescue medication use, and PEF variability. Pulmonary function and biomarkers of airway inflammation are not related to the clinical asthma control as assessed by ACT and may represent additional measurements potentially useful in asthma management.
