Abstract

Asthma is a globally common disease with significant ethnic and regional variations. Morbidity and mortality, as well as the burden of medical care for asthma, have recently been better recognized thanks to advances in technology and diagnostics. Several evidence-based guidelines have been developed with the aim of standardizing and improving the quality of management. Guidelines that seek to translate the advances in the understanding of the pathogenesis of asthma, in the development of new agents and strategies into a practical application at all levels of medical care. Seeking an assessment of patients to classify the severity of diseases, followed by a gradual approach to treatment. Current management is expected to minimize daytime and nighttime symptoms, prevent acute exacerbations, and achieve normal or near-normal lung function, thus improving overall quality of life. That is why in the present work we wanted to verify whether the use of high doses of inhaled corticosteroids has any impact on the recurrence of asthmatic attacks.
