This article summarizes the most important practical questions and answers for people living with asthma, based on the leading scientific publication “Key recommendations for primary care from the 2022 Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) update,” published in 2023 in npj Primary Care Respiratory Medicine (doi: 10.1038/s41533-023-00330-1). This publication was created by an international team of leading physicians and researchers in the field of respiratory diseases, including Dr. Mark L. Levy (UK), Prof. Leonard B. Bacharier (USA), Prof. Eric Bateman (South Africa), Prof. Louis-Philippe Boulet (Canada), Prof. Chris Brightling (UK), and other experts from universities and hospitals in Europe, North and South America, Asia, and Australia.
The article presents a concise summary of current Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) recommendations for the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of asthma patients—with a special focus on practical, easy-to-understand guidance that can help patients and their families make more informed health decisions.
“Asthma treatment is not a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach—each decision should be personalized, with regular review and adaptation to the patient’s needs.”
