Schatz et al - Determinants of future long-term asthma control

Asthma cannot be currently cured and therefore, the goal of asthma therapy is control. In the November 2006 issue of the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, Schatz and colleagues attempt to identify independent prospective determinants of long-term asthma control. They found that long-term asthma control is inversely related to asthma severity. Also effective management strategies are independently associated with better long-term control. This data could be used to improve long-term asthma control among the many asthma sufferers in the world.
