  • Patients on Track 1 had lower average ER visits and hospital admissions, indicating better control of asthma.
  • Pulmonary function tests showed significant improvements in Track 1 patients at three months, outpacing those on Track 2.
  • The findings highlight the superior effectiveness of Track 1 involving ICS/formoterol for asthma management in adolescents.
