Consensus statements not achieving consensus (<75%)

No.	Topic	Statement	Level of consensus, %
3*	Necessity to mitigate delays	Every patient with suspected severe asthma should be seen within 4 weeks of referral to an appropriate specialist severe asthma service	59
21	Initiation of advanced therapies for severe asthma	If a patient’s adherence to ICS has already been assessed as adequate, prior to referral, using an objective method, then it is not necessary to repeat this before initiating advanced therapy treatments to severe asthma patients	48
26		MDT (or equivalent) meetings (to decide about advanced therapies) should occur at least weekly and should review every systematically assessed case	62
27		Instead of a full MDT discussion, two senior clinicians should review every systematically assessed case to initiate a biologic at the severe asthma service	40
33*	Role of homecare	Considering patient preference, home initiation of biologics should be the default way to initiate these medicines to severe asthma patients	44
