Assessment

Primary outcomes

The reccrence rate (person-year) ratio of exacerbations during the study period in the intermittent ICS group to those in the daily ICS group

Key secondary outcomes

1) time to event
2) changes in respiratory symptom scores
3) total body use of steroids
4) treatment failure rate
5) changes in blood periostin levels
6) the rate of consultation associated with respiratory symptoms
7) the levels of control of asthmatic symptoms
8) QOL (visual analogue scale)
