Title: High-Risk Asthma Clinic: Putting It All Together
Abstract: Severe asthma makes up for less than 10% of all asthma but is associated with disproportionately high healthcare costs. In 2019, asthma is not a one-size-fits-all disease. Heterogeneity in asthma is becoming increasingly evident. Not every patient with severe asthma has the same underlying pathophysiology or responds in a similar manner to targeted therapy. Keeping this in mind, a multidimensional and interdisciplinary approach to the management of severe asthma is desired. The role of patient-care teams in management of chronic diseases has become increasingly accepted, and this is particularly true for difficult or severe asthma. A high-risk asthma service can provide patients with state-of-the-art, evidence-based clinical management. This chapter provides an overview of complexities of “difficult-to-control” asthma and a practical systematic approach to its management.
