Abstract

We observed a higher prevalence of non-adherence to inhalers in patients with severe asthma treated with anti-interleukin-5 biologics. The agreement between the Test of Adherence to Inhalers questionnaire and the pharmacy refill data is lower when evaluating nonadherence in patients with severe asthma treated with anti-interleukin-5 biologics. The pharmacy refill data detect a higher proportion of nonadherence compared with the Test of Adherence to Inhalers questionnaire.
