Asthma Medication Side Effects and Physician-Patient
Communication Gaps Impact Patient Treatment Compliance

Results from the first-ever global quantitative survey
on unmet needs in asthma treatment, unveiled today in
London, demonstrate significant discrepancies between
physician and patient assessments of current asthma
treatment on issues that may affect health outcomes,
including medication side effects, patient education
and physician-patient communication. The Global Asthma
Physician and Patient (GAPP) Survey, a 16-country
worldwide research study, was conducted to highlight
the impact of asthma globally, a disease that is
growing in prevalence by approximately 50 percent
every decade.

\"Ongoing physician-patient communication is essential
in treating chronic conditions such as asthma, and the
GAPP Survey reveals there is much room to improve this
dialogue in every country we studied,\" stated G.
Walter Canonica, MD, University of Genova, Genova,
Italy, for the World Allergy Organization. \"One place
to start is in the area of side effects, where results
demonstrate significant disconnects between physicians
and patients.\"

Asthma is a highly ranked chronic health condition in
adults in most western countries, and it is the
leading chronic illness of children.

Asthma cannot be cured, but for most patients it can
be controlled so that they have only minimal and
infrequent symptoms and they can live an active life.
