Grado de conocimiento de las propias sensibilizaciones alérgicas en pacientes asmáticos y su repercusión en el nivel de control del asma

Overall knowledge about the allergic nature of their disease among asthmatic patients attending Spanish Respiratory Medicine Departments is inadequate. Furthermore, a higher degree of knowledge of their allergies does not seem to lead, by itself, to better asthma control. Both findings seem to question the effectiveness of current educational strategies in this field and consequently, they should be revised.
