28 In Latin America. Asthma control falls short of international goals of treatment in a considerable proportion of patients The use of unscheduled resource is highest in patients with severe persistent asthma symptoms. However, even patients with mild asthma symptoms incur considerable healthcare costs Poorly controlled asthma is associated with more than twice the need for unscheduled healthcare resource than well-controlled asthma Assessing patients by their level of control, using the ACT, offers a simple approach that can lead to reduced healthcare resource use Management regimens that aim for and result in well-controlled asthma may reduce the need for unscheduled healthcare and direct cost of the disease
