TL;DR
Perinatal outcome is compromised in the pregnancy complicated by chronic medication-dependent asthma, and the extent is variable and is associated with disease severity, as measured by medication requirements.
Abstract
Perinatal outcome is compromised in the pregnancy complicated by chronic medication-dependent asthma. The extent is variable and is associated with disease severity, as measured by medication requirements.

Based on diary-card analysis, asthma was significantly less frequent and less severe during the last 4 weeks of pregnancy than during any other gestational interval and in women whose asthma improved during pregnancy, diary- card analysis revealed a gradual improvement with progressive pregnancy.
