Asthma Medication Side Effects and Physician-Patient
Communication Gaps Impact Patient Treatment Compliance

Results from the first-ever global quantitative survey on unmet needs in asthma treatment, unveiled today in
London, demonstrate significant discrepancies between physician and patient assessments of current asthma treatment on issues that may affect health outcomes, including medication side effects, patient education and physician-patient communication. The Global Asthma Physician and Patient (GAPP) Survey, a 16-country worldwide research study, was conducted to highlight the impact of asthma globally, a disease that is growing in prevalence by approximately 50 percent every decade.

"Ongoing physician-patient communication is essential in treating chronic conditions such as asthma, and the
GAPP Survey reveals there is much room to improve this dialogue in every country we studied," stated G. Walter Canonica, MD, University of Genova, Genova, Italy, for the World Allergy Organization. "One place to start is in the area of side effects, where results demonstrate significant disconnects between physicians and patients."
