Funding Information: To overcome the aforementioned limitations, the International Severe Asthma Registry (ISAR) was created [77–79]. ISAR (www.isaregistries.org) is the first global adult severe asthma registry aiming to achieve sufficient statistical power to answer important research questions, and to standardise data, making them comparable across countries and regions. The global reach of ISAR is achieved by the already established collaboration with 25 countries, including national or regional registries from Europe, plus registries from the Americas, Asia, the Middle East and the Australasian Severe Asthma Web-based Database registry of Australia, New Zealand and Singapore [78]. ISAR’s research is overseen by the ISAR steering committee (ISC), consisting of global severe asthma experts, and is governed by the Respiratory Effectiveness Group via the Anonymised Data Ethics and Protocol Transparency committee [78]. ISAR is cofunded by Optimum Patient Care Global and AstraZeneca; however, ISAR is open to independent projects not funded by AstraZeneca. Participating countries may also have multiple additional sources of funding. Core variables for standardised data collection were derived from a modified Delphi process [79]; additional variables are also collected from some countries to assess patient safety and the impact of steroid reduction. Prospective data collection for the ISAR registry was initiated in 2018 in Italy, the United States, South Korea (www.severeasthmawg.com) and the United Kingdom (UK) to better standardise data fields, increase the accuracy of cross-country comparisons and reduce any data incongruence in datasets [80]. | en |
