Asthma Control Test (ACT ™) validity relies on Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) definition of control. It includes neither reversibility nor inflammation assessment despite their importance as hallmark of asthma, partially unrelated to symptoms. Furthermore though rhinitis may affect the patient's perception of asthma control, its impact on ACT accuracy has not been systematically evaluated.

Abstract

Asthma Control Test (ACT ™) validity relies on Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) definition of control. It includes neither reversibility nor inflammation assessment despite their importance as hallmark of asthma, partially unrelated to symptoms. Furthermore though rhinitis may affect the patient's perception of asthma control, its impact on ACT accuracy has not been systematically evaluated.
