Izadi et al (Am J Respir Crit Care Med 2021 May 24; https://doi.org/10.1164/rccm.202010-3763OC) utilized data from the Childhood Asthma Management Program longitudinal cohort, which consists of pediatric subjects with mild-to-moderate asthma, in order to identify the childhood factors that predict the development of severe persistent asthma later in life. Low post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC ratio and maternal smoking during pregnancy significantly increased the risk of developing persistent severe asthma from late adolescence into early adulthood.
