Asthma remission and its predictors in severe asthma: real-world study from the Korean severe asthma registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Remission has emerged as a therapeutic goal in asthma, but most studies in severe asthma have focused on biologic-treated patients in controlled settings. Real-world data from Asian populations are scarce. We aimed to evaluate the achievement and predictors of asthma remission in Korean patients with severe asthma using a nationwide prospective cohort.

Methods

We analyzed 405 patients with severe asthma from the Korean Severe Asthma Registry (KoSAR) who completed 12-month follow-up. Remission was classified at 12 and 24 months as complete clinical remission (CCR; ACT ≥ 20, no exacerbations, no oral corticosteroid [OCS] use, and FEV₁ ≥80% or improvement ≥ 100 mL), clinical remission (CR; first three criteria), partial remission (PR; ≥1 criterion), and no remission
