An Early Sign? Low Birth Weight and Childhood Respiratory Infections as Predictors of Chronic Cough in Adult Asthma
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Chronic refractory cough is a symptom that affects a significant subgroup of asthmatic patients, even when the disease is controlled. This condition negatively impacts quality of life and is often resistant to conventional asthma treatments, posing a significant clinical challenge. Despite its frequency, the pathophysiology of chronic cough in the context of adult asthma remains poorly understood and understudied. This lack of evidence hinders the development of effective and personalized therapeutic strategies. Therefore, it is essential to better characterize this entity and its possible underlying mechanisms to optimize its clinical management. La tos crónica refractaria es un síntoma que afecta a un subgrupo significativo de pacientes asmáticos, incluso cuando la enfermedad está controlada. Esta condición impacta negativamente en la calidad de vida y suele ser resistente a los tratamientos convencionales del asma, lo que plantea un desafío clínico relevante. A pesar de su frecuencia, la fisiopatología de la tos crónica en el contexto del asma adulta sigue siendo poco comprendida y subexplorada. Esta falta de evidencia dificulta el desarrollo de estrategias terapéuticas efectivas y personalizadas. Por ello, es fundamental caracterizar mejor esta entidad y sus posibles mecanismos subyacentes para optimizar su manejo clínico.
