The control of asthma is the objective of asthma management. However, it is difficult to obtain in clinical practice. The Italian Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology promoted the nationwide project "ControL'Asma" to investigate the real situation in a group of children and adolescents with asthma. The preliminary outcomes demonstrated that many asthmatic subjects do not achieve adequate asthma control. Moreover, asthma in Italian children and adolescents was usually more frequent in males, had an early onset and allergic phenotype with very frequent rhinitis comorbidity, uncontrolled and partly controlled asthma affected about the half of subjects. However, this project suggested that the assessment of asthma symptom perception by VAS could be a reliable tool in the asthma management.
哮喘的控制是哮喘管理的目标。然而,在临床实践中很难实现。意大利变态反应和临床免疫学学会(SIAI)发起了一项全国性的项目“ControL'Asma”,旨在调查一组哮喘儿童和青少年的真实情况。初步结果表明,许多哮喘患者并未达到足够的哮喘控制。此外,意大利儿童和青少年哮喘通常在男性中更为常见,发病较早,具有过敏表型,常伴有鼻炎共病,未得到控制和部分控制的哮喘影响了约一半的患者。然而,该项目表明,通过 VAS 评估哮喘症状感知可能是哮喘管理中的一种可靠工具。
