Objective Measures in the Diagnosis, Assessment of Severity and Monitoring of Asthma

From Chapter 2 of the Philippine Consensus Report on Asthma 2004 by the Philippine College of Chest Physicians.
This guideline starts below.

• Question 1: Do clinical symptoms correlate with the degree of airway obstruction?
• Question 2: Is peak flow monitoring useful in chronic stable asthma?
• Question 3: Does peak flow variability correlate with worsening asthma?
• Question 4: Is peak flow monitoring useful in acute exacerbation of asthma?
