Bronchial hyper-responsiveness (BH) definitions face semantic and operational challenges, leading to confusion with asthma. Clarifying BH terminology is crucial for accurate diagnosis and research.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Respiratory Medicine
  • Clinical Physiology

Context:

  • Bronchial hyper-responsiveness (BH) is a key feature in respiratory diseases.
  • Existing definitions of BH lack standardization, causing diagnostic and research inconsistencies.
  • Understanding BH is critical for differentiating various airway conditions.

Purpose:

  • To critically analyze the various definitions of bronchial hyper-responsiveness (BH).
  • To highlight semantic ambiguities and operational difficulties in current BH definitions.
  • To provide a historical overview of BH research, including contributions from French-speaking scientists.

Summary:

  • The abstract discusses the multifaceted challenges in defining bronchial hyper-responsiveness (BH).
  • Semantic issues include translation variations, distinguishing BH from airway smooth muscle contraction, and confusion with asthma.

  • Operational difficulties arise from BH's continuous distribution, diverse indices, varied stimuli, causal conditions, and anatomical sites.

    • Impact:

    • A clearer, standardized definition of BH will improve diagnostic accuracy.
    • Enhanced understanding of BH can lead to more targeted therapeutic strategies.
    • This review aims to foster consensus and advance research in respiratory medicine.
