“…The progressive increase of real life studies published in the last years and their recognized scientific value [8,9] underline that their role is becoming constructive in respiratory medicine, attracting research interest and debate [10,11]. The second part of the review will consider some of the advantages and disadvantages, strengths and weaknesses of different types of trials and comment on the complementarity between RCTs and real life studies.…”

“…For people with asthma, quality management in primary care is a real, viable and accessible solution to asthma care. This is reflected in guidelines [2,5, 6], in research trends (as we see pragmatic research sourcing participants in primary care) [7,8] and it is evidenced in a multitude of primary healthcare initiatives established to support primary care physicians to optimally manage asthma in the community.Optimal asthma management: are we achieving it? Or is it an enigma?…”

“…While randomized clinical trials examining COPD treatment provide essential outcome data with high internal validity, the study population typically includes highly selected patients which limits generalizability to the real-life clinical practice COPD population [21]. Alternatively, analyses of real-world clinical practice databases that include the broad population of patients receiving treatment, such as in the current study, address the generalizability of treatment outcomes in real-life clinical management of diverse patients [22]. Strengths of the Patients were matched on the basis of gender, moderate and severe COPD exacerbations in baseline (categorized), ICS use in baseline (yes/no), LABA use in baseline (yes/no), LAMA use in baseline (yes/no), and age (±6 years).…”
