integrating ratings (r=0.77, P<0.001), by specialist’s evaluations (r=0.54, P<0.001), or by FEV1 percent predicted (r=0.39, P<0.001). Specialist’s and guideline ratings detected 56% and 48.6% of patients with
well-controlledasthma, respectively. However, the integrated ratings indicated that only 34.3% of the patients in the test sample were
well controlled. The overall agreement between KACT and the integrated rating ranged from 45% to 78%, depending on the cut-off points used. It is possible to formulate a valid, useful countryspecific diagnostic tool for the assessment of asthma patients based on the original ACT that reflect differences in sociocultural context.
