Reporting of outcome measures needs to be improved. We now have patient-centred Core Outcome Measures Sets for paediatric and adult Severe Asthma (COMSA). Using COMSA will facilitate synthesis of findings from different studies and allow meaningful comparisons of effectiveness of different biological therapies. In turn, this will improve policy and patient–doctor shared decision making.
Educational aims
The aims of the seminar are to standardise the assesment of severe asthma therapies, increase awareness about the pan-European consensus patient-centred Core Outcome Measures Sets for paediatric and adult Severe Asthma (COMSA). It will also present views of patients, pharmasutical representatives, healthcare regulators and inspire collaborations between severe asthma registries, future real-life studies and clinical trials to enhance comparability of efficacy and effectiveness of biological therapies.

CME credit
An application for accreditation of this webinar has been made to the European Board for Accreditation in Pneumology (EBAP) for 1 CME credit per 1-hour attendance. If accredited, the CME credit will be granted upon attendance of at least 60 minutes during the live webinar only.
What is a webinar?
A webinar closely simulates a lecture-based teaching experience. The speaker can interact with the audience, just as in a classroom setting. During the webinar, you will be asked to share your opinion on issues related to the topic using interactive polls.
All participants will be able to hear the lecturer and see the slides throughout the presentation. As a participant you will be able to pose questions or discuss ideas with the other participants via the text chat facility and the speaker will respond to the questions via the microphone.
