This evaluation of comorbidity data of more than 12,000, adult asthmatic patients has provided a clearer picture of diseases that can frequently co-exist with asthma, and their influence on asthma control, assessed by the prevalence of symptoms. Our study suggests that most asthmatic patients have at least one comorbidity, and the presence of comorbidities may have a high impact on asthma control measures.
