Asthma Severity Scale

The Asthma Severity Scale is a tool used by healthcare providers to assess how serious a person's asthma is at a given time. It considers factors like symptom frequency, use of inhalers, nighttime awakenings, and lung function tests. Based on these, it categorizes asthma into levels such as intermittent, mild persistent, moderate persistent, or severe persistent. This helps doctors determine the appropriate treatment plan and monitor changes over time, aiming to control symptoms effectively and prevent asthma attacks.
