The goal of asthma treatment is to achieve and maintain clinical control of the disease. In the past, the terms “asthma severity” and “asthma control” were often used to describe a patient’s baseline status and their response to treatment. A task force from the American and European respiratory societies, ATS and ERS, respectively, has recently standardized these terms [1]. In addition, experts have provided separate conceptual frameworks on asthma severity and control.
