Definition of asthma.

P Fréour

    Chest
    |June 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Current asthma definitions focus on acute attacks, limiting research into the condition's full natural history. A broader definition is needed to investigate atopy, bronchial hyperreactivity, and neuropsychiatric factors for better asthma understanding.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Clinical Medicine
    • Allergy and Immunology

    Background:

    • Clinical asthma definitions often concentrate on acute attack symptoms and signs.
    • This narrow focus directs research towards immediate triggers rather than the complete disease process.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To discuss the limitations of current clinical asthma definitions.
    • To advocate for a broader definition of asthma to encompass its full natural history.
    • To identify key areas for future asthma research.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and critical analysis of existing asthma definitions.
    • Identification of critical components of asthma's natural history.

    Main Results:

    • Current definitions are limited as they focus on the final expression of asthma (acute attacks).
    • Understanding the natural history of asthma necessitates a more comprehensive definition.
    • Atopy, bronchial hyperreactivity, and neuropsychiatric aspects are crucial areas for investigation.

    Conclusions:

    • A broader definition of asthma is essential for comprehensive research.
    • Investigating atopy, bronchial hyperreactivity, and neuropsychiatric factors will enhance understanding of asthma's natural history.
