BACKGROUND High sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) has been shown to be associated with asthma in recent studies. However, the relationship between hs-CRP and the control of asthma has not been clearly identified yet. OBJECTIVE To investigate the association of hs-CRP with asthma control test (ACT), which reveals the degree of asthma control, and to compare hs-CRP in adults with mild and m...

asthma control and quality of life are expected to be correlated. we aimed to evaluate the association of asthma control test (act) with asthma quality of life questionnaire (aqlq) and guideline based control assessment. we also aimed to investigate the impact of therapy adjustment according to act score on aqlq a total of 101 asthmatic patients were included. act, aqlq and global initiative fo...

background: increased serum high sensitive c-reactive protein (hs-crp) in asthma and its association with disease severity has been investigated in many studies. this study aimed to determine serum hs-crp status in asthma versus healthy controls and to examine its ability in predicting asthma control. methods: serum crp was measured by elisa method using a high sensitive crp kit. severity of as...
