Abstract

Asthma guidelines provide evidenced-based recommendations for clinical management of asthma, and use of current guidelines is associated with better patient outcomes. This brief two-sided printable brochure provides a concise summary of current treatment guidelines by age group, and offers guidance on assessing and managing asthma for clinicians. The summary is based off of EPR3, EPR4 (2020), GINA (2020) updates, and other current asthma literature. Recommendations are current to version date shown on the guide. Guides will be periodically updated to reflect changes to practice. References:
