Early severe asthma exacerbations affect disease course, future risk for attacks

Severe exacerbations that occur early in the course of asthma impacted the course of the disease and risk for subsequent exacerbations in children and adults, researchers reported in the Annals of the American Thoracic Society.
“This study identified substantial variability in severe exacerbation rates in both pediatric and adult patients with asthma with a history of severe asthma exacerbation,” Tae Yoon Lee, MD, from the Respiratory Evaluation Sciences Program, Collaboration for Outcomes Research and Evaluation, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of British
