TL;DR: The prevalence of asthma, difficult-to-treat asthma and severe asthma will be determined as the percentage of patients with asthma confirmed from the overall population, and logistic regression models will be explored.

TL;DR: This pilot study provided insight into the improvement of the procedures to be generalized across the country and confirmed the feasibility of the EPI-ASTHMA stepwise approach.

TL;DR: The method proposed was able to correctly classify the microphone spirometry with respect to admissible minimum of effort with an accuracy of 86% (specificity 87% and sensitivity 86%) and can be used to provide immediate feedback of the correct execution of the maneuver, improving the clinical value and utility of this self-monitoring tool.

TL;DR: This method provides immediate feedback to the user, by grading the manoeuvre in a visual scale, promoting the repetition of the FEM when needed, and using 498 FEM recordings, both specificity and sensitivity attained were above 90%.

TL;DR: In this article , a cross-sectional study was conducted with 17 adults with self-reported asthma (13 females, 35±12y) to compare lung sounds acquired by smartphones with the ones acquired by a digital stethoscope according to their quality and ability to capture adventitious sounds.
