Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Asthma Control Questionnaire	4 week	A simple questionnaire Objective to measure the adequacy of asthma control and change in asthma control which occur either spontaneously or as a result of treatment ACQ has multidimensional construct assessing symptoms (5 items -self-administering and rescue in bronchodilator use (1 item-self-administered and FEV1%(1 item completed by clinic staff Test Retest reproducibility Reported with high intraclass correlation coefficient =0.90 Internal Consistency yes 7 point scale (0=no impairment =6 maximum impairment for symptoms and rescue use and 7categories for FEV1%) Minimally imp difference Change in score 0.5 7 items (score Range 0 (Totally controlled and 6 Severely Uncontrolled)
Asthma Control Test	4 week	A patient self-administered tool for identifying those with poorly controlled asthma assess the frequency of shortness of breath and general asthma The Score Range from 5 (poor control of asthma) to 25 complete control of asthma) with higher scores reflecting greater asthma control. 5 items with 4-week recall on symptoms and daily functioning 5-point scale for symptom and activities 1=not controlled at all 5= completely controlled
Lara Asthma Symptoms Scale	4 week	The Lara Asthma Symptom Scale (LASS) is a validated tool designed to assess asthma symptoms in adults. It comprises eight questions that evaluate the frequency of various asthma-related symptoms over the past four weeks. Each question is scored on a 5-point Likert scale, where higher scores indicate more frequent symptoms. To interpret the LASS, sum the scores from all eight questions to obtain a total score ranging from 0 to 32. Higher total scores indicate more frequent and severe asthma symptoms, suggesting poorer asthma control.
FEV1	4 week	Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second, is a measurement of how much air a person can forcefully exhale from their lungs in one second.
FVC	4 week	Forced Vital Capacity, is a measurement of lung function assessed during spirometry. t represents the maximum amount of air that can be forcefully exhaled after a full inhalation.
PEF	4 week	Peak Expiratory Flow) spirometer, often a simple peak flow meter, is a device used to measure the speed of air exhaled from the lungs.
