Epidemiology of comorbidities and their association with asthma control

Table 2 [6] Definitions of controlled, un- and partially controlled asthma according to GINA 2014

	Controlled	Partially controlled	Uncontrolled
Daytime asthma symptoms more than twice a week? Any night waking due to asthma? Reliever needed for symptoms more than twice a week?* Any activity limitation due to asthma?	None of these	1–2 of these	3–4 of these

^*The only difference compared to GINA 2021 is that the latter defines reliever need only as SABA reliever need, as-needed ICS-formoterol use is not to be considered as increased need for reliever therapy [1, 6]
