The Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA)guidelines: Well controlled Partly controlled Uncontrolled
Time frame: At the time of inclusion
Asthma control according to Asthma Control Test (ACT) score in children aged 12 years and older: Controlled if ACT ≥ 20
Asthma Control Test: Each question is assigned a score between 1 and 5 (the score for the first answer proposal is 1, the second is 2, and so on). The score of the 5 questions is added up to a total score that can vary between 5 and 25. The higher the total score, the better the asthma is controlled.
