BSAR

BSAR is a secured web database and admits password protected anonymised data, after fully informed written consent.

The aim of the registry is to collect epidemiological and clinical data in order to raise awareness on severe asthma, to identify several phenotypes, to promote optimal care for these patients and to be a valuable platform of patients for testing new drugs in severe asthma. Since his creation in 2009, more than 1800 severe asthma patients recruited all around the country have been included in the registry. Individual centre data can be downloaded by registered users.
