Asthma in pregnancy: association of asthma control test (ACT) with clinical management by the global initiative for asthma (GINA)

Background Asthma is probably the most common chronic medical condition in pregnancy, with a worldwide prevalence estimated between 8-13%. The present study aims to identify a possible association between clinical asthma control by the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) with ACT at the end of the second trimester of pregnancy, a period considered the highest risk of clinical deterioration and exacerbations of asthma.
