TLDR
The Turkish version of the Asthma Control Test is a valid and reliable tool for assessing asthma control in patients in outpatient settings and may facilitate the designation of asthma patients’ symptoms as either controlled or uncontrolled.Abstract:
Introduction
Current guidelines focus more on levels of asthma control than on severity of asthma. The original version of the Asthma Control Test (ACT), a self-administered instrument to determine asthma control levels, was designed for English-speaking patients. More recently, the ACT has been translated into many languages and has been validated for many cultures, but this is the first study to evaluate the Turkish version.read more

Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNo) in different asthma phenotypes
TL;DR: The correlation between the asthma control test (ACT), FEV1, and FeNO was evaluated in this study to ascertain the correct usage of FeNO with different asthma phenotypes regarding their control, allergy, comorbidity, obesity, age, smoking status, and severity.

Hulya Sahin,Ilknur Naz +1 more
TL;DR: Patients with uncontrolled asthma, in particular, should be given opportunities to benefit from PR programs, and improvement in asthma control is greater in patients with uncontrolled asthmatic patients than in Patients with partially controlled asthma after PR.

Obesity-asthma phenotype: Effect of weight gain on asthma control in adults.
TL;DR: A significant relationship between obesity and asthma control was found and being nonatopic also was found to worsen asthma control, suggesting that weight loss may improve the course of asthma.

The effects of diet-induced weight loss on asthma control and quality of life in obese adults with asthma: a randomized controlled trial.
TL;DR: Diet intervention improved asthma control and quality of life in obese patients with controlled asthma in this study, however to generalize this finding to all asthma patients, further studies including uncontrolled asthmatics are needed.

The minimally important difference of the Asthma Control Test.
TL;DR: Predictive analyses showed that a difference of 3 points on the ACT was associated with a subsequent 76% increased risk (95% CI, 73% to 79%) of excess short-acting beta-agonist use and a 33% increase risk of exacerbations.
