Characteristics and treatment regimens across ERS SHARP severe asthma registries
2020
Little is known about the characteristics and treatments of patients with severe asthma across Europe, but both are likely to vary. This is the first study in the European Respiratory Society Severe Heterogeneous Asthma Research collaboration, Patient-centred (SHARP) Clinical Research Collaboration and it is designed to explore these variations. Therefore, we aimed to compare characteristics of patients in European severe asthma registries and treatments before starting biologicals.This was a cross-sectional retrospective analysis of aggregated data from 11 national severe asthma registries that joined SHARP with established patient databases.Analysis of data from 3236 patients showed many …
Severe eosinophilic asthma: a roadmap to consensus
2017
Asthma is widely accepted as a complex heterogeneous condition with diverse pathophysiological mechanisms, clinical presentations, comorbidities, physiological characteristics, pathology and outcomes that is typically best managed by a multidisciplinary team [1–4]. Severe asthma is recognised as a major unmet need with a high personal and social impact, as well as a high burden on healthcare resources [4]. As a consequence of advances in the development of precision medicines for patients with severe asthma, the need to identify asthma subtypes by phenotype based on clinical, functional or inflammatory parameters is becoming a mandatory part of management [4–6]. Severe eosinophilic asthma (…
