 Background and aims:The ACQUIRE Study was a large-scale research project in Japan investigating asthma control status as defined by the Japanese asthma prevention and management guideline(JGL)2012. Results revealed that most patients were not well controlled. Here, we analyzed data from the ACQUIRE study in each treatment step.  Methods:This was a cross sectional, questionnaire-based, postal mail survey targeting adult asthma patients followed up by a physician and treated with anti-asthma medicines. Data were obtained through patient diaries(which detailed asthma symptoms)and questionnaires(patients' emotional feelings), and analyzed in each treatment step.  Results:A total of 1,248 cases were included in this analysis, in which 14.7%, 8.2%, 8.5%, and 4.5% of patients with JGL2012-defined treatment step of one, two, three and four, respectively, were evaluated for “well-controlled” asthma according to a daily diary. The number of days[SD(days/week)]patients with treatment step one, two, three and four who experienced nocturnal symptoms was 2.2(2.6), 2.3(2.6), 2.6(2.7)and 3.3(2.9)days, respectively. The proportion of patients with treatment step one, two, three and four who experienced at least one asthma exacerbation within the previous year was 17.4%, 20.6%, 26.6% and 40.2%, respectively.  Conclusion:Our study revealed that most patients with every treatment step did not have well-controlled asthma, thereby suggesting that they did not receive adequate treatment for asthma. Development of an appropriate management strategy is vital for controlling asthma.
