الوصف: Severe asthma accounts for 5-7% of all asthma cases. The World Health Organization proposed a follow-up protocol to classify cases into severe, treatment-resistant asthma (STRA) or severe, difficult-to-control asthma (SDCA).To analyze the clinical, functional, and therapeutic characteristics of patients with STRA or SDCA.Cross-sectional, observational, and analytical study to assess the diagnosis, the extent of control (clinical and functional), comorbidities, treatment adherence, inhalation technique, and environmental factors in patients with severe asthma.A total of 69 patients were included: STRA (n= 33) and SDCA (n= 36). In the group with STRA, 100% of patients had been previously hospitalized due to asthma compared to 87.8% in the group with SDCA (p= 0.03). In the group with STRA, 63% required admission to the intensive care unit (ICU); 82%, ventilatory support; and 1 patient, tracheostomy. In the group with SDCA, 54% required admission to the ICU; and 33%, ventilatory support (p= 0.03).The baseline spirometry was normal in the SDCA group; a mild obstructive ventilatory defect was observed in the STRA group (p= 0.009).In the SDCA group, treatment adherence was lower (p= 0.01). Higher inhaled corticosteroid doses were required in the STRA group (p= 0.0001). Omalizumab was indicated in the case of STRA (p= 0.0001). After 6 months of follow-up, more than 75% of children in both groups achieved asthma control.A significant lack of treatment adherence was observed in the SDCA group. In this group, treatment doses were reduced. Asthma was controlled in a high percentage of children with STRA and SDCA.El asma grave representa 5-7% del total de asmáticos. La OMS propuso un protocolo de seguimiento para categorizarlos como asma grave resistente al tratamiento (AGRT) o asma grave de difícil control (AGDC).Analizar las características clínicas, funcionales y terapéuticas de pacientes con AGRT o AGDC.Estudio transversal, observacional y analítico para evaluar el diagnóstico, grado de control (clínico y funcional), comorbilidades, adherencia al tratamiento, técnica inhalatoria y factores ambientales en pacientes con asma grave.Se incluyeron 69 pacientes: AGRT (n= 33) y AGDC (n= 36). El 100% del grupo con AGRT fue hospitalizado previamente por asma vs. 87,8% del grupo con AGDC (p= 0,03). El 63% del grupo AGRT requirió cuidados intensivos (UCI)), 82%, asistencia ventilatoria y uno fue traqueostomizado. En el AGDC, 54% requirió internación en la UCI , y 33%, asistencia ventilatoria (p= 0,03). La espirometría basal fue normal en el AGDC; se observó incapacidad ventilatoria obstructiva leve en el AGRT (p= 0,009).En el AGDC, hubo menor cumplimiento del tratamiento (p= 0,01). Se requirieron dosis mayores de corticoides inhalados en AGRT (p= 0,0001). Omalizumab fue indicado en AGRT (p= 0,0001). A los 6 meses de seguimiento, más del 75% de los niños en ambos grupos presentó asma controlada.Se observó significativa falta de adherencia al tratamiento en el grupo AGDC. Se redujeron las dosis de tratamiento en este grupo. Se logró controlar la enfermedad en un alto porcentaje de niños con AGRT y AGDC.
