DISEASE, ASTHMA, SECONDARY
Standard asthma care was continued in all participants in all groups. This included continuation of previously initiated asthma medication, but also modification of asthma treatment based on clinical need; those with worsening asthma received treatment escalation, whereas those with improving disease or lack of treatment efficacy underwent medication removal. All participants continued to be reviewed at their original secondary asthma clinic as part of standard care. All participants had the opportunity for weight management advice (ie, healthy eating and promoting exercise if in the UC group), inhaler technique, and asthma education as needed at each study visit.
