CLASSIFYING ASTHMA SEVERITY IN YOUTHS ≥12 YEARS OF AGE AND ADULTS

*Notes:

For population-based evaluations, clinical research, or characterization of a patient's overall asthma severity after control is achieved. For clinical management, the focus is on monitoring the level of control (See figure 3-5c.), not the level of severity, once treatment is established.

See figure 3-5c for definition of asthma control.
