Asthma severity
Five children had a note regarding their asthma severity in medical
records and it was classified as “mild”, “not severe” or
“intermittent” in three and “severe” and “significant and poorly
controlled” in two. Asthma severity as defined by the amount of daily
asthma medication needed to maintain asthma control could not be
assessed, as based on review of dispensed medications none of the
patients had picked up enough controller medication in the last year for
it to be used daily.
