This study compared estimates of the severity and impact of asthma recorded using global questions of the type used in diary cards with health status measurements obtained using comprehensive questionnaires.Seventy-four outpatients with asthma, aged 17-76 yrs (mean 48 yrs) participated. Mean+/-SD forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) was 72+/-26% predicted. Patients recorded morning and evening peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) and scaled their responses to the questions: "How has your asthma been today?" (asthma severity) and "How much effect has your asthma had on your life today?" (asthma impact) for 2 weeks.
