TL;DR: It is reasonable to expect that in most patients with asthma, control of the disease can and should be achieved and maintained, and the Global Initiative for Asthma recommends a change in approach to asthma management, with asthma control, rather than asthma severity, being the focus of treatment decisions.

TL;DR: New definitions for asthma control, severity, and exacerbations are developed, based on current treatment principles and clinical and research relevance, to provide a basis for a multicomponent assessment of asthma by clinicians, researchers, and other relevant groups in the design, conduct, and evaluation of clinical trials, and in clinical practice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brook I. Martin,Richard A. Deyo,Sohail K. Mirza,Judith A. Turner,Bryan A. Comstock,William Hollingworth,Sean D. Sullivan +6 more
TL;DR: Age- and sex-adjusted self-reported measures of mental health, physical functioning, work or school limitations, and social limitations among adults with spine problems were worse in 2005 than in 1997, and spine-related expenditures increased substantially from 1997 to 2005, without evidence of corresponding improvement in self-assessed health status.
Journal ArticleDOI
