This is a first step toward more research into the mechanism of biologic therapy in asthma. Individuals with IBD have a higher risk of developing pulmonary diseases such as COPD and asthma. Infants fed exclusively breast milk during their hospitalization at birth are less likely to develop childhood asthma. Children with Medicaid had 55% lower odds of receiving specialist care for asthma. Pregnancy-onset asthma is associated with an increased risk of spontaneous preterm births. Obstructive sleep apnea and asthma share common biological pathways. A recent study found that patients with severe asthma experienced “meaningful” improvements in asthma-related QoL. Emissions from gas stoves are associated with an increased risk of pediatric asthma. Research identified risk factors that may exacerbate asthma in children with allergic rhinitis. Individuals with asthma frequently report experiencing subpar sleep quality. A study used machine learning to examine air toxics associated with asthma symptoms. A study found that cooking on a gas stoves can increase susceptibility to asthma or other respiratory illnesses. Body mass index greatly affects the diagnosis and severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma. A study investigated the safety and efficacy of tapering ICS in patients with severe asthma treated with benralizumab. Asthma symptoms in children may be worsened by parental stress resulting from financial hardship. Results of a recent survey showed that nearly half of PCPs who completed it were unfamiliar with asthma biologics. Children with atopic dermatitis are at a greater risk of asthma, as well as asthma exacerbations and hospitalization. A study evaluated the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in asthmatic children. Researchers investigated the relationship between cold winters and the risk of developing asthma. Lower fungal diversity was associated with asthma symptoms in children living in an urban setting.
