In severe asthma, high doses of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) are used in order to achieve clinical and
functional control. This study aimed to evaluate lung function in outpatients (children and adolescents) with severe
asthma in Brazil, all of whom were treated with high doses of ICS. We evaluated all spirometry tests together and by
ICS dose: 800 and > 800 μg/day.
