Journal ArticleDOI
Development of the asthma control test: A survey for assessing asthma control
Robert A. Nathan,Christine A. Sorkness,Mark Kosinski,Michael Schatz,James T.C. Li,Philip Marcus,John J. Murray,T.B. Pendergraft +7 more
TL;DR: Results reinforce the usefulness of a brief, easy to administer, patient-based index of asthma control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asthma Control Test: Reliability, validity, and responsiveness in patients not previously followed by asthma specialists
Michael Schatz,Christine A. Sorkness,James T.C. Li,Philip Marcus,John J. Murray,Robert A. Nathan,Mark Kosinski,T.B. Pendergraft,Priti Jhingran +8 more
TL;DR: The reliability and validity of the Asthma Control Test is evaluated in a longitudinal study of asthmatic patients new to the care of an asthma specialist, finding a cutoff score of 19 or less identifies patients with poorly controlled asthma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term inhaled corticosteroids in preschool children at high risk for asthma.
Theresa W. Guilbert,Wayne J. Morgan,Robert S. Zeiger,Robert S. Zeiger,David T. Mauger,Susan J. Boehmer,Stanley J. Szefler,Leonard B. Bacharier,R.F. Lemanske,Robert C. Strunk,David B. Allen,Gordon R. Bloomberg,Gregory P. Heldt,Marzena E. Krawiec,Gary L. Larsen,A.H. Liu,Vernon M. Chinchilli,Christine A. Sorkness,Lynn M. Taussig,Fernando D. Martinez +19 more
TL;DR: In preschool children at high risk for asthma, two years of inhaled-corticosteroid therapy did not change the development of asthma symptoms or lung function during a third, treatment-free year, and these findings do not provide support for a subsequent disease-modifying effect of inhaling corticosteroids after the treatment is discontinued.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and cross-sectional validation of the Childhood Asthma Control Test
Andrew H. Liu,Robert S. Zeiger,Christine A. Sorkness,Todd A. Mahr,Nancy K. Ostrom,Somali Burgess,Jacqueline R. Carranza Rosenzweig,Ranjani Manjunath +7 more
TL;DR: The C-ACT is a validated tool to assess asthma control and identify children with inadequately controlled asthma and can be valuable in clinical practice and research based on its validation, ease of use, input from the child and caregiver, and alignment with asthma guidelines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Randomized Trial of Omalizumab (Anti-IgE) for Asthma in Inner-City Children
William W. Busse,Wayne J. Morgan,Peter J. Gergen,Herman Mitchell,James E. Gern,Andrew H. Liu,Rebecca S. Gruchalla,Meyer Kattan,Stephen J. Teach,Jacqueline A. Pongracic,James F. Chmiel,Suzanne Steinbach,Agustin Calatroni,Alkis Togias,Katherine M. Thompson,Stanley J. Szefler,Christine A. Sorkness +16 more
TL;DR: When added to a regimen of guidelines-based therapy for inner-city children, adolescents, and young adults, omalizumab further improved asthma control, nearly eliminated seasonal peaks in exacerbations, and reduced the need for other medications to control asthma.
