Background

Severe asthma significantly impacts a minority of children with asthma, leading to frequent symptoms, hospitalisations and potential long-term health consequences. However, accurate global data on severe asthma epidemiology is lacking. This study aims to address this gap, providing data on severe asthma epidemiology, regional differences and associated comorbidities.

Single maintenance and reliever therapy (SMART) is an asthma treatment approach that utilizes combined inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting β-agonists for maintenance and quick relief therapy. Despite the evidence for its benefits in asthma treatment and its adoption into American and international asthma guidelines and recommendations, SMART remains a practice of some debate. This article reviews the available evidence for SMART and offers guidance for its integration into comprehensive asthma management. Overall, short-acting β-agonist-only asthma therapy regimens should be avoided, regardless of condition severity (SOR A Recommendation). Family medicine clinicians should start SMART for patients requiring either GINA Step 3 or 4 therapy, especially if they have signs of poor adherence (SOR B Recommendation). Finally, use budesonide-formoterol over other inhaled corticosteroid/long-acting β-agonist combinations when implementing SMART (SOR B Recommendation).
