In this study, the prevalence of uncontrolled asthma was considerably high. Not attending scheduled medical follow-up, poor knowledge about asthma, negative attitude toward asthma, and poor adherence to anti-asthma medications were associated with uncontrolled asthma. Therefore, it is crucial to focus on increasing the patients' level of awareness about asthma control, improving medication adherence, and avoiding triggering factors.
