Abstract
Summary: We examined the general practice treatment of 67 patients diagnosed as asthmatic. Compliance with treatment was poor in one-third of patients with severe asthma. Inhaled steroids were under-prescribed and our findings suggest that some severe asthmatics are receiving less than adequate therapy.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
