Target Audience
This activity is designed to meet the needs of allergists, immunologists, and other health care providers involved in the care of patients with moderate-to-severe asthma.
Learning Objectives
After completing the activity, learners should be better able to:
- Utilize knowledge of the type 2 inflammatory pathway to select therapies that target the underlying chronic inflammation associated with severe asthma and other commonly comorbid conditions
- Assess disease severity and identify patients who require step-up therapy to manage symptoms, minimize systemic steroid use and reduce emergency room visits
- Design evidence-based treatment plans for pediatric and adult patients with moderate-to-severe asthma that include patient-specific factors, such as comorbidities, quality of life, and treatment responses
