Regular review of people with asthma offers the opportunity to monitor current symptom control and to assess future risk of asthma attacks.1
Symptomatic asthma control is best measured using validated questionnaires, such as the Asthma Control Test (ACT), or Childhood Asthma Control Test (C-ACT) for children under 11 years.2
A history of previous asthma attacks is the greatest risk factor for future attacks, together with inappropriate or excessive use of SABA and inadequate use of ICS.1,2
A post-asthma attack review provides another chance to ensure that all good practice care processes have taken place.3,4
