The stepwise approach to long-term asthma management, which traditionally incorporates short-acting β2-agonist reliever therapy, has been a core feature of guidelines for over 30 years. There have no studies, however, directly investigating the use an entire guideline-recommended track. Recently, inhaled corticosteroid-formoterol recommended as preferred therapy in adult asthma, accordance with "Anti-Inflammatory Reliever" (AIR) treatment track.The aim this study was evaluate AIR by New...
