Although the efficacy of corticosteroid treatment in controlling asthma is widely accepted, its effectiveness is undermined by poor adherence. However, the optimal method for measuring adherence to asthma therapy remains unclear. To perform a review of the literature reporting biological, objective methods for assessing adherence to inhaled or oral corticosteroids in asthma; we included studies reporting direct measurement of exogenous corticosteroids in blood, or the effect of adherence on exhaled nitric oxide. We searched three databases MEDLINE (using both PubMed and Ovid), the Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) and Web of Science for articles published between January 1975 and July 2020. Quality of the studies was assessed using the National Institute of Health checklist. From 2850 screened articles, 26 fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Measurement of blood prednisolone with or without cortisol was used in eight studies as a measure of oral corticosteroid adherence, and fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) in 17 studies for inhaled corticosteroid adherence. Inhaled corticosteroids were measured directly in the blood in one study. By direct measurement of drug levels in the blood, adherence rates to oral corticosteroids ranged from 47% to 92%, although the performance and timing of the test were often not known, making interpretation of findings and serum prednisolone concentrations difficult. FeNO is generally lower in adherent than non‐adherent patients, but no absolute cut‐off can be proposed based on the available data. However, a fall in FeNO following supervised inhaled corticosteroid dosing could indicate previous poor adherence. Despite prednisolone and cortisol levels commonly being used as adherence markers in clinical practice, further work is required to assess the influence of the dose and timing on blood levels. The promising findings of FeNO suppression testing should be explored in further prospective studies.
