Uncontrolled Asthma Survey – WipeDiseases Foundation

Survey Regarding Poorly-controlled/Uncontrolled Asthma

Definitions for this survey:

A “controller” inhaler is prescribed scheduled (as maintenance therapy to be used every day of the year)
A “reliever” inhaler is prescribed as needed for acute asthma symptoms
“Poorly-controlled/uncontrolled asthma” includes patients who need a reliever inhaler 3 or more times per week due to asthma symptoms and/or wake up 3 or more nights per month with asthma symptoms and/or whose asthma symptoms interfere with their daily life and/or who have had acute exacerbations within the last year.

ICS = inhaled corticosteroid (mometasone or budesonide)
LABA = long-acting beta-agonist (formoterol)
LAMA = long-acting muscarinic antagonist (tiotropium)
SABA = short-acting beta agonist (albuterol)

To what degree are you familiar with the concept of using the following strategy in an adult patient with poorly-controlled/uncontrolled asthma who is currently taking an ICS/LABA controller inhaler?

What best classifies your practice?(Required)

Please specify(Required)

Adding a LAMA (tiotropium) as a controller (scheduled regardless of acute symptoms)(Required)

Using a SABA (albuterol) as a reliever (as needed for acute symptoms)(Required)

Using LABA (formoterol) as a reliever (as needed for acute symptoms)(Required)

Using ICS+SABA single inhaler as a reliever (as needed for acute symptoms)(Required)

Using ICS+formoterol single inhaler as a reliever (as needed for acute symptoms)(Required)
