Association of control and risk of severe asthma‐related events in severe or difficult‐to‐treat asthma patients

Background:  Clinical tools for predicting poor outcomes in asthma patients are lacking. This study investigated the association of asthma control and subsequent severe asthma‐related healthcare events in The Epidemiology and Natural History of Asthma: Outcomes and Treatment Regimens (TENOR) study.
