Managing comorbid conditions in severe asthma.

Co-morbidities in severe asthma: Clinical impact and management.

Only registered users can translate articles

Patients with severe asthma represent a minority of the total asthma population, but carry a majority of the morbidity and healthcare costs. Achieving better asthma control in this group of patients is therefore of key importance. Systematic assessment of patients with possible severe asthma to

Impact of comorbid conditions on asthmatic adults and children

Only registered users can translate articles

Comorbid conditions (comorbidities) can complicate the diagnosis and management of asthma. In different age groups, comorbid conditions can present varying challenges, including diagnostic confusion due to mimicking asthma symptoms, exacerbation of asthma symptoms, therapy for comorbid conditions

Asthma and comorbidities.

OBJECTIVE This article summarizes the more common comorbidities which, in the opinion of the authors and supported by the medical literature, frequently affect asthma management. Optimal asthma control requires accurate diagnosis, implementation of effective therapy, and evaluation of coexisting

Comorbidities in difficult asthma are independent risk factors for frequent exacerbations, poor control and diminished quality of life.

Only registered users can translate articles

Little is known about how comorbidities affect difficult asthma patients across different domains of asthma outcomes. We hypothesized that comorbidities in difficult asthma significantly influence asthma outcomes. We analysed 90 consecutive patients who underwent systematic assessment at our
