Fibrosing mediastinitis is a rare fibroinflammatory condition characterized by progressive fibrous infiltration of the mediastinum that can compromise bronchovascular, esophageal, and vascular structures. Its clinical presentation is heterogeneous and can mimic more prevalent respiratory diseases, […]
Introduction Considerable variability exists in the management of severe asthma, particularly with the increasing availability of biologic therapies targeting different inflammatory pathways. This study aimed to assess intra- and inter-person variability among experienced specialists in […]
Introduction Population-level evidence on asthma severity and type 2 (T2)-related comorbidities is limited in Spain. We described asthma prevalence, severity, and key T2-associated conditions in Spanish adults, and explored variation across sociodemographic groups. Material and […]
Chronic refractory cough is a symptom that affects a significant subgroup of asthmatic patients, even when the disease is controlled. This condition negatively impacts quality of life and is often resistant to conventional asthma treatments, […]
Introduction Modifiable factors such as obesity, vitamin D deficiency, and eosinophilia may contribute to increased asthma severity, but their combined impact remains underexplored, especially in resource-limited settings. This study aimed to investigate the independent and […]
Asthma is a chronic lung disease affecting individuals across all age groups, contributing to significant morbidity and mortality. Exposure to air pollutants is a major factor in both the development and exacerbation of asthma symptoms. […]
Introduction The Spanish consensus on the reduction of oral corticosteroid (OCS) use in asthma management was recently published to address the issue of OCS overuse in this area. This study evaluates the degree of awareness […]
Introduction Despite existing guidelines, many patients with asthma do not achieve adequate control of their disease. This is largely due to low adherence to inhaled therapy. Single-inhaler administration may improve this and other aspects of […]
Asthma exacerbation is a significant clinical event that occurs with varying severity, yet a set of universally accepted standardized definitions is still needed. The aim of this consensus developed by ALAT and SEPAR was to […]
Introduction Asthma is a heterogeneous disease that often coexists with type 2 inflammatory (T2i) conditions in many individuals with severe asthma, leading to heightened exacerbations that diminish their quality of life (QoL). Despite this, there […]
