Approximately 17% of all adult-onset asthma cases are related to occupational exposures. [21] About one fourth of adults with asthma have work-exacerbated asthma. [4] Patients with work-related asthma are more likely to experience asthma attacks, emergency room visits, and worsening of their asthma symptoms compared with other adult asthma ...
These interventions may also reduce the number of days children experience asthma symptoms and may lead to small improvements in asthma-related quality of life. [173] More research is necessary to determine if shared decision-making is helpful for managing adults with asthma [174] or if a personalized asthma action plan is effective and ...
AERD affects an estimated 0.3–0.9% of the general population in the US, including around 7% of all asthmatics, about 14% of adults with severe asthma, and ~5-10% of patients with adult onset asthma. [2] [3] [8] AERD is uncommon among children, with around 6% of patients, predominantly female, reporting disease onset during childhood. [9]

Clinical trials have looked at whether tailoring asthma therapy based on eNO values is better than conventional care, in which therapy is gauged by symptoms and the results of lung function tests. [8] [9] [10] To date, the results in both adults and children have been modest and this technique can not be universally recommended.
