Sex-Specific Asthma Phenotypes, Inflammatory Patterns, and Asthma Control in a Cluster Analysis

ConclusionsThis study identified heterogeneous characteristics between sexes. In females, the analysis showed atopy with eosinophil-predominant and obese with neutrophil-predominant inflammation. Two distinct asthma phenotypes were found in current and ex-smokers in males. Understanding asthma phenotypes and explaining the potentially biological pathways have become important.
