Abstract |
Asthma is a common chronic disease without cure. Our understanding of asthma onset, pathobiology, classification and management has evolved substantially over the past decade; however, significant asthma-related morbidity and excess healthcare utilization and cost persist. To address this important clinical condition, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) convened a group of extramural investigators for an Asthma Research Strategic Planning workshop on September 18-19, 2014 to accelerate discoveries and their translation to patients. The workshop focused on (1) in utero and early life origins of asthma, (2) the use of phenotypes and endotypes to classify disease, (3) defining disease modification, (4) disease management, and (5) implementation research. This report summarizes the workshop, producing recommendations to guide future research in asthma. |
