Background
Asthma is a global health concern
• Up to 334 million people worldwide are estimated to have asthma, but prevalence
varies1,2

Definition of asthma

Asthma is a heterogeneous disease, usually characterized by


chronic airway inflammation.

It is defined by the history of respiratory symptoms such as


wheeze, shortness of breath, chest tightness and cough that
vary over time and in intensity, together with variable
expiratory airflow limitation.

Diagnosis of asthma – symptoms

• Increased probability that symptoms are due to asthma if:


• > 1 type of symptom (wheeze, shortness of breath, cough, chest tightness)
• Symptoms often worse at night or in the early morning
• Symptoms vary over time and in intensity
• Symptoms are triggered by viral infections, exercise, allergen exposure,
changes in weather, laughter, irritants such as car exhaust fumes, smoke, or
strong smells

9
GINA 2017
Diagnosis of asthma – physical examination

 Physical examination in people with asthma


 Often normal
 The most frequent finding is wheezing on auscultation, especially on forced
expiration
 Wheezing is also found in other conditions, for example:
 Respiratory infections
 COPD
 Endobronchial obstruction
 Inhaled foreign body
 Wheezing may be absent during severe asthma exacerbations (‘silent chest’)

10
GINA 2017 © Global Initiative for Asthma
Diagnosis of asthma – variable airflow limitation

 Confirm presence of airflow limitation


 Document that FEV1/FVC is reduced (Normal: FEV1/ FVC ratio >0.75 – 0.80)
 Confirm variation in lung function is greater than in healthy individuals
 Excessive bronchodilator reversibility (adults: increase in FEV1 >12% predicted and
>200mL)
 Excessive diurnal variability from 1-2 weeks’ twice-daily PEF monitoring
 Significant increase in FEV1 or PEF after 4 weeks of controller treatment

personal best, then periodically for ongoing risk assessment

• Exacerbations

Goals of asthma management

 The long-term goals of asthma management are


1. Symptom control: to achieve good control of symptoms and
maintain normal activity levels
2. Risk reduction: to minimize future risk of exacerbations, fixed
airflow limitation and medication side-effects

 SABAs are highly effective for relief of asthma symptoms
 For patients with infrequent symptoms (< 2x/month) of short

 Before considering step-up


 Check inhaler technique and adherence, confirm diagnosis
 Adults/adolescents: preferred options are either combination low dose
ICS/LABA maintenance with as-needed SABA, OR combination low dose
ICS/formoterol maintenance and reliever regimen*
 Adding LABA reduces symptoms and exacerbations and increases FEV1, while
allowing lower dose of ICS
 In at-risk patients, maintenance and reliever regimen significantly reduces
exacerbations with similar level of symptom control and lower ICS doses
compared with other regimens
 Other options
 Adults/adolescents: Increase ICS dose or add LTRA or theophylline (less
effective than ICS/LABA)
 Adults: consider adding SLIT

reduces exacerbations and/or corticosteroid dose

equivalent): this may benefit some patients, but has significant
systemic side-effects. Assess and monitor for osteoporosis

Non-pharmacological interventions

 Avoidance of tobacco smoke exposure


 Provide advice and resources at every visit; advise against exposure of
children to environmental tobacco smoke (house, car)
 Physical activity
 Encouraged because of its general health benefits. Provide advice about
exercise-induced bronchoconstriction
 Occupational asthma
 Ask patients with adult-onset asthma about work history. Remove sensitizers
as soon as possible. Refer for expert advice, if available
 Avoid medications that may worsen asthma
 Always ask about asthma before prescribing NSAIDs or beta-blockers UPDATED
2017
 Remediation of dampness or mold in homes
 Reduces asthma symptoms and medication use in adults
 Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT)

Asthma exacerbations/flare-ups

 A flare-up or exacerbation is an acute or sub-acute worsening


of symptoms and lung function compared with the patient’s usual status
 Terminology
 ‘Flare-up’ is the preferred term for discussion with patients
 ‘Exacerbation’ is a difficult term for patients
 ‘Attack’ has highly variable meanings for patients and clinicians
 ‘Episode’ does not convey clinical urgency

CONCLUSION

 Asthma is a heterogeneous disease, usually characterized by chronic airway


inflammation.
 Diagnosis of asma: symptoms, physical examination and spirometry
 The long-term goals of asthma management are symptom control and risk
reduce.
 Asthma exacerbation is an acute or sub-acute worsening of asthma symptoms
and lung function compared with the patient’s usual status
