A major strength: Definition
International ERS/ATS Guidelines Step 4-5 medications: high-dose ICS and LABA (or leukotriene modifier/theophylline) and/or systemic corticosteroids for ≥50% of the previous year. The definition of high dose ICS is age specific
Uncontrolled defined as any one of the following:
– i. Poor symptom control: ACQ consistently >1.5, ACT<20 (or “not well controlled” by NAEPP/GINA guidelines)
– ii. Frequent severe exacerbations: 2 or more bursts of systemic CS (>3 days each) in the previous year
– iii.Serious exacerbations: at least one hospitalisation, ICU stay or mechanical ventilation in the previous year
– iv.Presence of airflow limitation: a pre-bronchodilator FEV1 <80% predicted (in the face of reduced FEV1/FVC)
Controlled asthma on these high doses of ICS or CS (or additional biologics) places a patient at high future risk for side effects from medications

Conclusions: Eosinophilic inflammation of the airways is correlated with the severity of asthma. These cells are likely to play a part in the epithelial damage seen in this disease (N Engl J Med 1990;323:1033–9)
Conclusions: Mepolizumabadministered either intravenously or subcutaneously significantly reduced asthma exacerbations and was associated with improvements in markers of asthma control (N Engl J Med 2014;371:1198–207)

Dedicated Severe Asthma Services ImproveHealth-care Use and Quality of Life
Gibeon et al. Chest 2015; 148: 870 - 876
346 patients with severe asthma
Significant reductions in health-care use in terms ofprimary care or ED visits (66.4% vs 87.8%, P<0.0001)and hospital admissions (38% vs 48%, P=0.0004)
No difference was noted in terms of those requiringmaintenance oral corticosteroids, there was a reduction insteroid dose (10 mg [8-20 mg] vs 15 mg [10-20 mg], P=0.003 ), and fewer subjects required short-burststeroids (77.4% vs 90.8%, P=0.01).
Significant improvements were seen in QoL and controlusing the Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire and theAsthma Control Questionnaire.
