Objective To evaluate the efficacy of Budesonide / formoterol to control asthma under real-life conditions. Methods A multi-center, open label, non-interventional study was conducted. Asthma control after 12 week therapy with Budesonide/ formoterol was assessed by Asthma Control Questionnaire( ACQ) and modified Asthma Control Questionnaire ( ACQ5) . Results A total of 360 asthma patients were recruited, including 228 adult patients and 132 child patients. After 12 weeks’ therapy, all the patients’medium value of ACQ was decreased significantly from 2. 03 ( adults 2. 20, children 1. 74) at baseline to 0. 60 ( adults 0. 78, children 0. 29) ( P lt; 0. 0001 ) , and the medium value of ACQ5 was also decreased significantly from2. 4 ( adults 2. 24, children 1. 76) at baseline to 0. 47 ( adults 0. 62, children 0. 20) ( P lt;0. 0001) . Conclusion Budesonide / formoterol is effective in asthma treatment, by which most asthma patients obtain and maintain clincal control.
