While 7 in 10 physicians report obtaining lung function tests on their patients in the last year, less than 2 in 10 patients admit that they have had the test. Spirometry is an important asthma test for both diagnosis and monitoring. Have you had your spirometry? Do you plan on getting your spirometry this year? Why do you think there is such a large discrepancy?
