Medicine use and disease control among adolescents with asthma

Purpose Pharmacological treatment is a cornerstone in asthma management, but there is limited evidence on how adolescents use their medication and to what extent their asthma is under control. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare self-reported and register-based medicine use in asthmatic adolescents. Furthermore, we investigated the association between medicine use, patient characteristics, and degree of asthma control.
