Factors predicting remission of asthma are often conflicting, despite efforts to standardize methods in epidemiological studies. The discrepancies could be explained by the lack of a standardized definition for remission. The criteria mostly used are based on absence of symptoms and medication use,1,2 often referred to as clinical remission.3 Complete remission requiring a combination of normal lung function and absence of bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) with absence of symptoms has also been...

Since this issue of Annals is focusing on asthma, I’ve selected three recent reviews from Allergy Watch highlighting recent literature about asthma. The first reviews the real-world PRACTICAL study comparing ICS/LABA as needed for rescue vs daily ICS. The next review of the BARD trials of black children, adolescents and adults with asthma cites the unexpected finding that increasing ICS doses in black children did result in improved outcomes. The last article investigates the role of perceived, nonallergic...
