{"Image DocumentName": "Figure 3\u20135c. Assessing Asthma Control In Youths \uf0b312 Years of Age & Adults", "Image ImageDescription": "ACQ values of 0.76\u20131.4 are indeterminate regarding well-controlled asthma. Key: EIB, exercise-induced bronchospasm; FEV1, forced expiratory volume in 1 second. See figure 3\u20138 for full name and source of ATAQ, ACQ, ACT. Notes: The level of control is based on the most severe impairment or risk category. Assess impairment domain by patient\u2019s recall of previous 2\u20134 weeks and by spirometry/or peak flow measures. Symptom assessment for longer periods should reflect a global assessment, such as inquiring whether the patient\u2019s asthma is better or worse since the last visit. At present, there are inadequate data to correspond frequencies of exacerbations with different levels of asthma control. In general, more frequent and intense exacerbations (e.g., requiring urgent, unscheduled care, hospitalization, or ICU admission) indicate poorer disease control. For treatment purposes, patients who had \u22652 exacerbations requiring oral systemic corticosteroids in the past year may be considered the same as patients who have not-well-controlled asthma, even in the absence of impairment levels consistent with not\u2011well-controlled asthma.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
