Abstract:
The clinical phenotyping of severe asthma could improve treatment outcomes, quality of life, morbidity, and mortality of asthma patients. The growing availability of rich clinical data could provide opportunities to address a broad range of real-world questions regarding clinical phenotyping and effective therapeutic approaches of severe asthma. Accordingly, in this Letter to the Editor, we provide data relevant to constructing the clinical profile of a Greek severe asthma patient cohort who receive biological treatment.

Additionally, environmental and genetic factors play crucial roles in determining an individual's susceptibility to asthma and the severity of their condition.
Critical processes in asthma pathophysiology include:
Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.
