Abstract:Objective To explore the role of asthma control scale ( ACT) and quality of life questionnaire ( AQLQ) in patients with bronchial asthma condition assessment. Methods 151 patients diagnosed with asthma were randomly divided into 3 groups:un-controlled group ( group A) , partly controlled group ( group B) , and completely controlled group ( group C) . And then, we filled the ACT and AQLQ scale for all these three groups and conducted statistical analysis of the data. Results ACT and AQLQ scores for group A were lower than group B, while the scores of group B were lower than that of group C. At the same time, AQLQ and ACT were highly consistent, and the comparison between groups was statistically significant. Conclusion AQLQ and ACT should be considered as the monitoring tools of evaluating bronchus asthma control level for they are simple, convenient and feasible.
